Looks like SeaDoo is toast, doesn't it?

Maybe they can get rid of those queer, crappy, Austrian 2-strokers

Bombardier sells recreational unit to investors

MONTREAL (AFP) - Canadian conglomerate Bombardier announced it was
selling its recreational products division to a group of investors
including members of the group's founding family.

The deal will raise 1.225 billion dollars (870 million US) for the
company, which is now concentrating on aircraft and railroad
equipment.

The family of company founder Armand Bombardier, who launched the
company and created the Ski-Doo snowmobile, will own 35 percent of the
recreational products group, with 50 percent owned by US-based Bain
Capital and Quebec's Caisse de depot the remaining 15 percent.
