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.
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.
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~
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!!
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 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.
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
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!
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

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
5:41 Patrick still didn’t learn his lesson about the hooks

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.
That is a beautiful setup. I can’t wait to see more of this rig on the water.
Wow I had chills the first time you turned on the motor! It made such a beautiful sound
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.

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!
I love that you keep your wording mistakes/corrections in rather then re-shooting
Matt, nice motor! That will get you around for a long time.
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.
I always enjoy your videos Matts and I think I watched everyone of em. Great to see improvements. Keep moving forward! ☝
Congrats, Matt.
Sweet on new motor! 4 strokes rock! We Never turn them off when off shore and can barely hear them!
6:17 It's so quiet! So smoovvvveeeee! I'm so happy I upgraded! (AND... So expensive!) Congrats! that's an awesome buy!
heck ya! pumped for ya to use that new 90 yamaha! looks sweet. congrats brother
Nice outboard! I would love to upgrade, but my 1990 Evinrude 2 stroke still runs so damn good.
I fished out of an Arima 16' for 10 years. Great 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!
Most wholesome UA-camr by far

Motor in the ocean is really important. We’ve had our 21’ Arima for 25 years. DWongWay Videos
Nice upgrade!
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....
Man... I almost forgot how much I ove watching your new videos. I am stoked to see you catch a big ol tuna
Right on bro missing you producing videos off that boat. Yamaha are bulletproof. Can't wait to see you out the slaying it again.
I must say, you definitely chose the right motor
Your going to love that new motor.
Plus the new 4 strokes last three times as long as the older two strokes.
Don't forget to flush the salt water out of the motor .
Good choice on the yamaha congratulations
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!
Fish goes into the cooler, "Okay little Kelp Greenling, a new home" haha 😄
Great OB for that boat!
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.
Cant wait for those vids
Welcome to the four stroke world brother! Good pick btw
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.
Lol this guys humble as hell most people with a channel as big as his and the merch he sells they’d just buy a new boat
Man but dude live in one of the most expensive city’s in Cali
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.
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
CONGRATS ! CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR TUNA AND DORADO CATCHING VIDEO'S .THE BUTTER BOAT IS GOING TO BE JEALOUS ! LOVE THE BUTTERBOAT!
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!
Hell ya look forward to more video on Sunday . 🥰🥰 love your channel so much . Hope the video it’s longer

Great video and catchs👍🎥😎
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.
Great videos!! you, Taku and Daniel should get together a catch/clean/cook/camp video... I think that would be awesome!!!
Hell year that’s a nice boat right there manz
You deserve it bud! Thanks for sharing.
