Miami International Boat Show
®

MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Yamaha Marine’s powerful V8 XTO Offshore® outboard will be
available this summer in quintuplet configuration, controlled
exclusively by Helm Master®, Yamaha’s integrated boat control
system.

The XTO Offshore makes its South Florida in-water debut during the 2019
Miami International Boat Show®, February 14-18 at Miami
Marine Stadium Park and Basin on Virginia Key.

Yamaha’s 5.6L V8 XTO Offshore outboard is revolutionizing big
power for big boats, with extreme levels of power and thrust, toughness
and reliability, and system integration,” said Ben Speciale, President,
Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit. “As boats get bigger, so do the XTO’s
capabilities.”

Introduced to critical acclaim in May of 2018, the IBEX Innovation
Award-winning XTO Offshore is the industry’s first direct injection
four-stroke with electric steering. The outboard hit the market in
August 2018, and is now the outboard of choice for big offshore boats.

Qualified Miami International Boat Show® attendees can visit
Pier 2 just outside of the exhibit halls to experience the performance
of the XTO Offshore on a wide selection of boats driven by seasoned
Captains. During the demo rides, attendees will also learn more about
Yamaha’s Helm Master and how together, the XTO Offshore and Helm Master
take boating experiences to a new level of efficiency, power and
integrated control.

For those looking to see the quintuplet configuration, Scout Boats will
showcase its all-new 530LXF with five XTO Offshore outboards. In
addition, Captain Skip Dana will command a 53-foot HydraSport®
featuring Helm Master and powered by four Yamaha XTO Offshore outboards.
Dana is a full-time charter and professional tournament angler with a
U.S. Coast Guard 100 Ton Master’s License.

Captain Bill Platt will showcase Helm Master on a 39-foot Sea Hunter
powered by triple XTOs. Platt started fishing at five years old and has
competed in professional offshore tournaments since 1986, claiming
several first place and championship titles.

Captain Shannon Pickens will demo a 336 Grady White®
featuring Helm Master and powered by twin XTOs. Pickens is a U.S.
Coastal Guard 50 Ton Master’s License and works as a full-time guide in
the Chesapeake Bay region.

During this year’s show, Yamaha Marine will showcase more power options
available than ever before. Qualified boat show attendees interested in
Yamaha’s V6 Offshore power options can take a demo ride with Captain Bob
Wiggins on an Edgewater® 262 Center Console featuring Helm
Master, powered by twin Yamaha F250 outboards. Wiggins has a U.S. Coast
Guard 100 Ton Master’s License and has competed in offshore saltwater
