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!

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...

Been watching your KZfaq 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.

Wow I had chills the first time you turned on the motor! It made such a beautiful sound

I love this channel. This guy's energy is so positive

That is a beautiful setup. I can’t wait to see more of this rig on the water.

Congratulations Matt! Looking forward to some more Fisherman’s Life Adventures!

I’m really happy that you’re back in the swing of things. Good luck this year!

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.

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

Congrats on everything new and updated!!! Looks great.

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.

Been watching you for years since before I was 18 now I’m 20 thank you for all your good content .

Omg I am so glad you got a new motor. Congratulations. Can't wait to see you use it.

Nice setup enjoy and remember every minute spent fishing is a minute added to your life!

SWEET! We just repowered out 19' Arima SR with a 90 Merc Command thrust. We love it!

I am excited too! Can't wait to see what you catch next, Enjoy!

Congrats! Been watching your content for years and decided finally to comment.

Nice engine!! Love the old man and the dogs still doing his thing.

Awesome motor Matt, good luck!!! Go get 'em!!!

Sweet on new motor! 4 strokes rock! We Never turn them off when off shore and can barely hear them!

I love that you keep your wording mistakes/corrections in rather then re-shooting

Heck yeah, looking forward to all that tuna you'll be getting

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.

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~

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!

Miss you from Canada!

Matt, nice motor! That will get you around for a long time.

I always enjoy your videos Matts and I think I watched everyone of em. Great to see improvements. Keep moving forward! ☝

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!

heck ya! pumped for ya to use that new 90 yamaha! looks sweet. congrats brother

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.

Nice upgrade, I plan on doing the same, I have a Merc 200 2 stroke and boy is it loud, good luck on your offshore trips.

Congrats, Matt.

I fished out of an Arima 16' for 10 years. Great boat!

Congrats on the new motor! Can't wait for some boat fishing vids!👍😄😄

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!

Great info and we still got to see some fishing, even though it wasn’t the focus👍🤙🏻

You will love your new 90. Had one on the G3....so dependable

Nice outboard! I would love to upgrade, but my 1990 Evinrude 2 stroke still runs so damn good.

Nice!!! Mat that’s a major upgrade, congrats.

Cheers man! Love the videos! Make sure to do your after break-in maintenance!!

6:17 It's so quiet! So smoovvvveeeee! I'm so happy I upgraded! (AND... So expensive!) Congrats! that's an awesome buy!

Great engine, that thing will serve you for years to come.

I remember how excited you were when u got that boat .. tha was super hype kinda sad to see it be replaced

Nice replacement. Im excited for you and your new videos with the new motor!

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 🎣

Great video. Congratulations on the new outboard very nice.

new motor looks awesome.. congrats!

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 that sounds amazing.

Can't wait for your next upload on your new boat bro ! Much Love from Sydney Australia ♥️🇦🇺

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.

Beautifull boat! Sweet outbard.

Very nice! Good call on the Yamaha, they are great motors!

Awesome Matts you are ready for them tunas.

Congrats!!! Well deserved my dude.

I'm here , late , but imade it , with my bulletproof coffee ☕ , things are going nice🤝 Always good to see you and Daniel.....

Nice upgrade Mats!!

Nice boat and new 90!

Man... I almost forgot how much I ove watching your new videos. I am stoked to see you catch a big ol tuna

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!!

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.

Right on, nice motor bro! Go get'em

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

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.

Glad to see you with modern power! Go get some!

Right on bro missing you producing videos off that boat. Yamaha are bulletproof. Can't wait to see you out the slaying it again.

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

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.

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.

Great OB for that boat!

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!

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.

Hell ya look forward to more video on Sunday . 🥰🥰 love your channel so much . Hope the video it’s longer

Love you videos! Thanks for the great content man.

Good choice on the yamaha congratulations

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

I can't wait!😍🐟🎣🚤

at work loving this channel hope you make it to westport soon

Nice upgrade!

Most wholesome KZfaqr by far

Fish goes into the cooler, "Okay little Kelp Greenling, a new home" haha 😄

CONGRATS ! CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR TUNA AND DORADO CATCHING VIDEO'S .THE BUTTER BOAT IS GOING TO BE JEALOUS ! LOVE THE BUTTERBOAT!

Welcome to the four stroke world brother! Good pick btw

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

Great videos!! you, Taku and Daniel should get together a catch/clean/cook/camp video... I think that would be awesome!!!

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!

You know it’s Gonna be a Great Day, when you got Philosophy D in the House !

Fish on with a new motor, broke her in. Nice boat motor set up now. Now you just have to get over sea sickness. 👍

I must say, you definitely chose the right motor

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.

Hi Matt's, I have a 2000 Arima 16' SE. Going to SC tomorrow. Hopefully I see you out there.

yamaha are bullet proof great choice man. best of luck with the new setup!!!

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!
