Pretty solid that there will be a new version of the SC Rotax going in the X models. Many also think a new 3 seater hull is coming since the S3 is pretty old now.
No evidence but lots of clamoring and wishing for a hotrod Spark.
This article has been out for a LONG time but an update was recently added that further points to the motor upgrade.

[Update 9/6/15 – Recently, sources reemphasized the likelihood of an “all new” Rotax powerplant, very similar to our initial predictions of a larger displacement ACE-inspired engine. Aftermarket performance parts manufacturers have reported needing to make “extensive changes” to their current Rotax 1.5L parts to accommodate the new engine. Increased displacement and a minimum of over 300-horsepower are still expected, but the addition of a new dual overhead camshaft cylinder head radically improves the future Sea-Doo’s longevity as a performance leader. – Ed]
