As a huge fan of Fisherman's Life as well as a customer of Ken's ... Please, please support him if you have any boat motor needs here in the Bay Area. Integrity is hard to come by these days and this man Ken is full of integrity.
I'm sorry I just learned how to commit , I 63 , retired Air Force , 3 years ago my wife died , for 3 years she was In and out of the hospital , I stay with her to till God took her home you're videos was a blessing to me , thank you so much ,
HEY! I'm a Yamaha tech. The SHO offers a different ignition timing and engine tune to provide more horsepower at high RPM's, but with a little less torque on the lower rpm range . SHO engines can have up to 10% more horsepower at max RPM. SHO's are meant for light boats that go fast. I think you will be very happy with your choice :)
You deserve that upgrade Matt, peace of mind while out on the ocean knowing your equipment is on point. Looking forward to more of your videos in search of the big boys on the ocean. Be safe out there and God Bless. Aloha from Kansas
Been watching your videos for a few years now. Always learning new things when watching. Congrats on getting over a million subscribers. I started watching your channel when I was deployed back in 2017. Always reminds me of home in the northwest. Thank you very much sir for all that you do and catch a big ass blue fin for us!
Been watching your UA-cam channel for about a year now and I couldn’t be more happy for you man...congratulations on the upgrade and can’t wait to see what you catch out there on the water.
Quick maintenance tip: Have a large container filled with fresh water at home and after the usual cleaning with fresh water, run the motor for a few minutes in the tub/container ect~
God, I love these videos! I just need something to watch on youtube all the time and your channel usually pops up and I get to see these awesome videos.
Love those yamahas! Biggest problem is trying to start the running motor because they are so quiet. Best outboards there are! Great choice👍👍👍 You have a new boat!
yeah my friend has the exact same Merc...definitely an outstanding motor of its time but when the parts shelves get light and the trolling is towards the shoreline---safe decision on the upgrade!
This is a proper boat dude. You won't get sick anymore if you keep standing up and compensate for the waves with your body, so the head stays in the same spot! Imagine your head on a gimball, you need that picture leveled. By the way that new Yamaha looks dope! Be safe and have fun!
Nothing but wow! The price, I had to stop the vid and grasp my pearls. Looking up the motor at Yamaha, very impressive. Your added mods, steering etc. nice. Seeing just how trim that boat runs, wow. Congratulations, what a nice boat and motor.
Dude love your videos and was so happy when you made the announcement you would be uploading every Thursday and Sunday. Keep ‘em coming and can’t wait to see some more on the boat!
Man the fishing down there in Cali got to be better than here in Washington state salmon season is cut short again bottom fishing is closed any rock fish and fishing for long they only give us 45 days in some areas other than that we are screwup here and I bought a nice freekin aluminum boat a few years ago and hardly use it but I love to fish tight lines my fishing friends keep up with the great video. I’m a disabled veteran and my boat is 171/2 jet craft nice boat has two stoke 50 horse Johnson I want to change it out and after watching your video you got me convinced to get a Yamaha that’s what me and my friend been talking a bout thanks
Congratulations on the upgrade. I did not know the boat was 16', it handles like a 20' out there. I need to upgrade my little boat to something that can go out the Gate. Soon I hope....
Congrats on the upgrades! Great video and I like how you are repping the local businesses! Bay Area!!!!! Hopefully I'll see you out salmon fishing this year. Tight lines.
A 16 with a cuddly! Brilliant! I love this boat! Gotta have the porti potty at my age for emergencies especially if the girlfriend is with me! A nice little fishing machine!
Matt and philosophy d . You guys inspired me to get out there and fish. I never tried to surf fish before Intel I watch your videos . I once ment philosophy d at ocean beach once man I wanted to ask him for a picture but didn't want to get all fan boy on him. Thank you for opening my eyes on new ways to use avocados
I bought a second hand 18 ft runabout with a 115 -2 stroke evinrude. Man that thing guzzled fuel! Switched to a new 90 4 stroke, boy i wished I had did it earlier!
Glad to see you fishing with Philosophy D and doing some BIG upgrades to your boat. Hopefully you will catch one and do a collab with Taku Outdoor Chef for some delicious sushi or whatever he's gonna make.
Beautiful boat. I used to fish on this model for 6 years before my buddy upgraded to 19ft. With 90hp, you can get to the albacore ground fast. Arima 16ft is still my dream boat. I am still looking for one.
@@FishermansLife I saw one 16 ft arima last month on the Berkerly Flat with a customed pilot house. Looks cute. You still could do it with a small 4ft long pilot house. 😀
You will avoid problems in the future with battery failure and corrosion, #1 cause of boat failure, by having those batteries in the v-berth. Important to put as much weight forward on short planing hulls. Totally nice setup.
Matt you deserve everything that the universe has in store for you you have an amazing spirit and a awesome love for fishing I’m so proud of you and happy for you keep following your dreams booboo!!
Congrats on the upgrade. It's a really crappy feeling to lose power at critical times. Been there done that more than once. Can't wait to see how this possible business venture turned out. Good luck.
As a huge fan of Fisherman's Life as well as a customer of Ken's ... Please, please support him if you have any boat motor needs here in the Bay Area. Integrity is hard to come by these days and this man Ken is full of integrity.
Also this new upgrade is banging :D can tell when FL Cruising on the boat he smiling no nausea pure joy for the new whip :D love to see it!
I'm sorry I just learned how to commit , I 63 , retired Air Force , 3 years ago my wife died , for 3 years she was In and out of the hospital , I stay with her to till God took her home you're videos was a blessing to me , thank you so much ,
Thank you for your service sir 👊💪
Thank you for your service. I am sorry for your loss.
Fair winds and following seas, old timer. God bless
Seeing this 2 years later ray. I hope all is well with you.

The entire engine, aside from the tuning, is the same as the regular F90
Thanks for the explanation. 👍
So it’s got VTEC
Well that explains it!
How do you become a tech for those types of motors? Is there a school?
You deserve that upgrade Matt, peace of mind while out on the ocean knowing your equipment is on point. Looking forward to more of your videos in search of the big boys on the ocean. Be safe out there and God Bless. Aloha from Kansas
I changed my 115 Evinrude for a 115 Yamaha and wow, almost twice the fuel mileage! Much quieter and more power... I think you will LOVE that Yammy...
I love this channel. This guy's energy is so positive

Heck yeah, looking forward to all that tuna you'll be getting
Right! When he said he was gonna do some tuna chasing I was like "Aiiigghht 👍"
Been watching you for years since before I was 18 now I’m
20 thank you for all your good content .
Wow I had chills the first time you turned on the motor! It made such a beautiful sound
Quick maintenance tip: Have a large container filled with fresh water at home and after the usual cleaning with fresh water, run the motor for a few minutes in the tub/container ect~
Omg I am so glad you got a new motor. Congratulations. Can't wait to see you use it.
Just woke up and had to watch this before my coffee. Wow, you caught a starfish. I love that you reel in some odd catches sometimes.
Nice engine!! Love the old man and the dogs still doing his thing.
Congratulations Matt!
Looking forward to some more Fisherman’s Life Adventures!
Congrats! Been watching your content for years and decided finally to comment.
God, I love these videos! I just need something to watch on youtube all the time and your channel usually pops up and I get to see these awesome videos.
I love that you keep your wording mistakes/corrections in rather then re-shooting
I’m really happy that you’re back in the swing of things. Good luck this year!
That is a beautiful setup. I can’t wait to see more of this rig on the water.
Man really glad you made this video , here in florida this motor is priced over 10k, and they can’t get none for 4 months out.
Matt, nice motor! That will get you around for a long time.
SWEET! We just repowered out 19' Arima SR with a 90 Merc Command thrust. We love it!
Nice setup enjoy and remember every minute spent fishing is a minute added to your life!
Love those yamahas! Biggest problem is trying to start the running motor because they are so quiet. Best outboards there are! Great choice👍👍👍 You have a new boat!

Most wholesome UA-camr by far

I am amazed that your boat is a 16ft. I thought it was an 18ft for sure. Congratulations. I'm months away from my new boat so I know the feeling.
It's the biggest little boat out there!
I am excited too! Can't wait to see what you catch next, Enjoy!
5:41 Patrick still didn’t learn his lesson about the hooks
🤣🤣🤣
This should be top comment! Under rated

Congrats on everything new and updated!!! Looks great.
Sweet on new motor! 4 strokes rock! We Never turn them off when off shore and can barely hear them!
Nice outboard! I would love to upgrade, but my 1990 Evinrude 2 stroke still runs so damn good.
Miss you from Canada!
🤙🏼 Alberta love!
Nice replacement. Im excited for you and your new videos with the new motor!
I fished out of an Arima 16' for 10 years. Great boat!

Wow you caught a Star fish on a spinner. Never seen that before :) Congrats on the new motor

6:17 It's so quiet! So smoovvvveeeee! I'm so happy I upgraded! (AND... So expensive!) Congrats! that's an awesome buy!
Dude love your videos and was so happy when you made the announcement you would be uploading every Thursday and Sunday. Keep ‘em coming and can’t wait to see some more on the boat!
You know it’s Gonna be a Great Day, when you got Philosophy D in the House !
Man... I almost forgot how much I ove watching your new videos. I am stoked to see you catch a big ol tuna

Shoot, I would be grateful to upgrade my rib with a new 4 stroke 9.9, lol, nicely done and enjoy your new power to get you to those grounds!
Same here!!
Congratulations on the upgrade. I did not know the boat was 16', it handles like a 20' out there. I need to upgrade my little boat to something that can go out the Gate. Soon I hope....
Congrats on the new motor! Can't wait for some boat fishing vids!👍😄😄
Yamaha makes the best outboard on the water, nice choice man!
Congrats on the upgrades! Great video and I like how you are repping the local businesses! Bay Area!!!!! Hopefully I'll see you out salmon fishing this year. Tight lines.
Motor in the ocean is really important. We’ve had our 21’ Arima for 25 years. DWongWay Videos
A 16 with a cuddly! Brilliant! I love this boat! Gotta have the porti potty at my age for emergencies especially if the girlfriend is with me! A nice little fishing machine!

Nice!!! Mat that’s a major upgrade, congrats.
Great info and we still got to see some fishing, even though it wasn’t the focus👍🤙🏻
Careful with the weight on the back brace I know someone who upgraded engines and the brace broke from the weight.
I bought a second hand 18 ft runabout with a 115 -2 stroke evinrude. Man that thing guzzled fuel! Switched to a new 90 4 stroke, boy i wished I had did it earlier!
You will love your new 90. Had one on the G3....so dependable
Can't wait for your next upload on your new boat bro !
Much Love from Sydney Australia ♥️🇦🇺
Right on bro missing you producing videos off that boat. Yamaha are bulletproof. Can't wait to see you out the slaying it again.
Glad to see you with modern power! Go get some!
I went from a smoker to a new 90 Honda. Best investment ever.
I haven't had it long but love it Everytime I start it up
I always enjoy your videos Matts and I think I watched everyone of em. Great to see improvements. Keep moving forward! ☝
Fish on with a new motor, broke her in. Nice boat motor set up now. Now you just have to get over sea sickness. 👍
Glad to see you fishing with Philosophy D and doing some BIG upgrades to your boat. Hopefully you will catch one and do a collab with Taku Outdoor Chef for some delicious sushi or whatever he's gonna make.
You got a nice motor there. Here in Florida most guys go with a 150 or 200hp on that size of boat. But that looks like it scoots just fine.
Nice motor 👌 me and some friends looking to get a boat or something eventually by where I live to start fishing on the water instead of land.
Beautiful boat. I used to fish on this model for 6 years before my buddy upgraded to 19ft. With 90hp, you can get to the albacore ground fast. Arima 16ft is still my dream boat. I am still looking for one.
I got really lucky finding this boat. Love it. Wish I had room to add a pilot house!
@@FishermansLife I saw one 16 ft arima last month on the Berkerly Flat with a customed pilot house. Looks cute. You still could do it with a small 4ft long pilot house. 😀
@@Fishing247 Thats me! I built a pilot house on my 1511 Sea Chaser earlier this year. Would love to fish with you and matts. Arima buddy boat trip.
@@swu011 hahaha. Small world. I love your pilot house. If things work out, we can fish together. 🎣🐟🐟
You will avoid problems in the future with battery failure and corrosion, #1 cause of boat failure, by having those batteries in the v-berth. Important to put as much weight forward on short planing hulls.
Totally nice setup.
I remember the 1st video I'ved watch in this channel, it's you deep-frying sand fleas. Now you got a boat. 👍 Your channel grow a lot.
Hey ive been watching you're videos for a few years now and i really enjoy them amd learned a lot and im happy to see you grow keep it up... Fish on 🎣
Welcome to the four stroke world brother! Good pick btw
CONGRATS ! CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR TUNA AND DORADO CATCHING VIDEO'S .THE BUTTER BOAT IS GOING TO BE JEALOUS ! LOVE THE BUTTERBOAT!
Matt you deserve everything that the universe has in store for you you have an amazing spirit and a awesome love for fishing I’m so proud of you and happy for you keep following your dreams booboo!!
Congrats, Matt.
Kaplan’s is the best. Years ago when nobody had motors I went to him in San Rafael. He had a mountain stacked to the warehouse ceiling of new Yamahas.
Geez, I never knew motors are that expensive, but that's exciting!!! Congrats!!
Half the price is usually the motor, if not more!
Most of the cost of boats are wrapped up there now unless you're low HP.
I was Just watching the fisherman’s life!!
Cheers man! Love the videos!
Make sure to do your after break-in maintenance!!
You are excited to get out there and I am excited for the videos while I am not out there. Out there as in Lake Erie.
Very nice! Good call on the Yamaha, they are great motors!
yamaha are bullet proof great choice man. best of luck with the new setup!!!
Congrats!!! Well deserved my dude.
Wow! Nice man! Still waiting on that invite 😂 lol jk glad you're safe man! Hopefully you slay now that you're more secure in the ocean!
Hi Matt's, I have a 2000 Arima 16' SE. Going to SC tomorrow. Hopefully I see you out there.
I repowered my 16 skiff with a brand new 22 Tohatsu 50hp and got the new multifunction tiller it’s the bomb!!
Congrats on the upgrade. It's a really crappy feeling to lose power at critical times. Been there done that more than once. Can't wait to see how this possible business venture turned out. Good luck.
own a 90 yamy from the first year of fuel injection, still loven it and 45 miles per hour easy and still troll with it.
Fish goes into the cooler, "Okay little Kelp Greenling, a new home" haha 😄
Great videos!! you, Taku and Daniel should get together a catch/clean/cook/camp video... I think that would be awesome!!!
75 would work for me great vid stay safe
you reeled in Patrick so fast he lost his pants 😂
