I'm shopping around for a used aluminum fishing boat and found a couple that interest me.
One has a 2000 Yamaha 150hp V Max and the other is advertised as a Yamaha 150hp V6 TXR

I know the V Max is a 2 stroke EFI, what is the other?
Is the V Max a V6?

How do either compare in fuel consuption, idle quality, noise?

Thanks for any info

dunno.
cant tell without the full and complete model number.
the 150 was built in a carbed version,an OX66 EFI and an HPDI in C,P,V,VX,VZ versions.

still dont have a full model number just parts of one.
is it V150,VZ150, VX150,or PX150?
all were made in 01 and all used different fuel and ign systems.
for 05 it could be a v150,a 150 or a VZ150.
the suffix TXR isnt correct for a 2005 model,not enough characters.
