From what I've heard it will replace the VMAX HPDI Series II. I do not expect there to be a regular and "salt water" edition as Yamaha hasn't done that in years. No word yet on the shaft length other than 20 inch which may limit the salt water applications. I've gotten my last 2 boats from Yamaha factory pros and have been intouch with them about it. I currently have a 2008 VMAX HPDI Series II 250 with around 165 hours, the waranty just started in June of this year, and may be swappping it out for this motor after they run it for their first few events. Both boats have been Ranger Intracoastals and use 20 inch shafts.
