Is Yamaha about to unveil a new 4S line?

Rumor is a new lightweight line of high RPM 4-strokes to replace the HPDI 2-strokes in the Yamaha lineup. Anyone know if it's true?

The rumour I heard was supercharged like the Verado.

Update. I've read that the first of the new four stroke Vmax lineup will be called SHO, (Super High Output), available in 200, 225, and 250 HP. Said to have plasma-fused sleeveless cylinders in a 4.2L V6 block with a weight of 505 lbs. Acceleration is "said" better than the E-TEC and the Merc Pro. Also new design lower units with low water pickups. Also slated is a 300hp offshore engine at 558 lbs based on the same block and a 70 horse at 260 lbs.
