One Millionth Sea-Doo
Assembled In Valcourt


BRP, Ski-Doo’s parent company, and its Valcourt, Quebec-based employees celebrated manufacture of the one millionth Sea-Doo® watercraft to leave the assembly line recently. The one-millionth vessel was a 2007 Sea-Doo RXP model powered by a Rotax® 4-TEC® engine. BRP/Sea-Doo has led the sit-down personal watercraft market with innovative features, striking design and unmatched performance. BRP’s Sea-Doo brand has been the industry leader for almost 20 years.

"BRP has always been at the forefront of the industry thanks to our employees' dedication to developing and manufacturing high quality products," said Yves Leduc, vice-president and general manager, Snowmobiles, Watercraft, All-terrain vehicles and Sport boats, BRP. "Over the years, the company has introduced new technologies to improve safety and decrease noise and emissions for its watercraft. These are just a few of the reasons more and more people are discovering the excitement of riding on the open water aboard a Sea-Doo watercraft."

According to Michel Hade, vice-president and general manager of BRP's International division, "today's Sea-Doo products are 90 percent cleaner and 70 percent quieter than models introduced before 1998. It says a lot about the company's commitment to this industry and to providing great fun on the water to both enthusiasts and newcomers."
