When are we gonna see a 175hp SHO

DOES YAMAHA PLAN TO RELEASE A SHO IN A 175HP OR LOWER OUTBOARD.

Here's an article from BassFan.com: http://www.bassfan.com/news_article.asp?ID=3688

Here's a line from the story that I think is interesting:

"Yamaha looks forward to the opportunity to provide reliable and dependable four-stroke outboard power to all of Platinum's brands, and we wish Platinum well with its carefully considered acquisition."

Doesn't really answer the when question but the fact the statement stated 4 stroke power is telling. If seems to indicate that they will be shedding their entire 2 stroke line up. Don't know if they'll be SHO's but I would think they are going to be looking for their next "game changer" in the 150 - 175 class pretty soon.

I would LOVE to see Yamaha build a 135, 150, 175 V4 based off the 4.2 V6 SHO Platform.
