Buster's Magnum V MAX is the sport-focused edition of its 7.2-metre aluminium dayboat for the 2026 season. The Finnish builder combines the familiar Magnum hull with a Yamaha VF250 V MAX SHO outboard and distinctive dark trim.

A specific 2026 configuration

The edition pairs the 250hp outboard with a U-shaped aft sofa and special V MAX upholstery. A tilt steering wheel and second-generation 16-inch Buster Q screen provide the helm's main control and information points.

Buster presents the V MAX as an addition to the established Magnum family, not a wholly different hull platform. The enhanced graphics and deck finishes should be distinguished from hull engineering changes.

Carrying people and gear

The standard Magnum is 2.50 metres wide and listed for eight people, with an 884-kilogram maximum load in the current owner information. An aft social area makes it useful for a short outing, while the front deck can take alternative equipment for fishing.

The maximum load includes more than the people aboard. Fuel, fishing equipment, food and safety kit must be considered against the builder's plate and engine selection.

Screens and everyday handling

Buster's integrated display can present chart information, engine gauges and other selected functions, with a split-screen option for different chart scales. A chart display assists navigation but cannot replace keeping a lookout and understanding the local waterway.

The outboard and propulsion choices should be checked on the actual boat, particularly when comparing the V MAX edition with a standard Magnum carrying a different Yamaha engine.

Position within the range

The 7.2-metre hull sits below the larger SuperMagnum and alongside the weather-protected Magnum Cabin. Its layout is most relevant to owners who value an open cockpit and a direct connection to the water.
