Looks like SeaDoo is toast, doesn't it?

Considering that they sold it to the family that founded the company,
and invented the first snowmobile, its unlikely that they are gonna
change or dump the number one selling line of PWC's. As far as Rotex
engines go, its highly unlikely to change. These engines are
bulletproof, and have been used in ski-doo's for ever with great
results.
