BRP has announced an entirely new platform for select models in its 2018 Sea-Doo line-up of personal watercraft.
With BRP’s obsession to provide the best consumer experience possible, this innovative platform transforms the on-board experience and extends the possible activities for riders with a Sea-Doo personal watercraft. The new platform, which sets the industry benchmark for stability and control, is available on seven models across the Sea-Doo GTX, RXT and WAKE PRO families.
To ensure consumers’ maximum comfort, the new personal watercraft has a smart reconfigurable rear seat that transforms the watercraft into an on-board living room. It changes quickly from a three-seat configuration to a flat lounge area, where two people can face each other for a picnic lunch. When removed, the larger, flatter rear deck makes reboarding easier and more stable. Now people can enjoy more time on the water to relax and soak in the surroundings.
Adding to the on-board experience is the industry’s first manufacturer-installed, truly waterproof Bluetooth audio system. With a simple swipe of a finger, riders can now enjoy their favourite playlists on this powerful stereo while relaxing on their PWC’s rear deck for a full experience. There is also improved storage to allow people to enjoy longer periods on the water and have a full day of fun. The storage includes a waterproof, shockproof compartment for a phone with USB charger, as well as direct-access front storage with no standing required.
BRP Global Product Strategy senior vice president Bernard Guy said, “This new Sea-Doo platform brings the personal watercraft to the next level.” “Everything was ingeniously designed and built to enhance the consumer experience on water. Riding a Sea-Doo watercraft is fun, and with this new platform, we extend the exhilaration.”
Platform stability and control
The new platform’s stability and control starts with a lower centre of gravity, which provides more confidence in rough water, at high speed and with three passengers. It is also wider for easier reboarding and movement around the watercraft. Combined with a new, deep-V hull that increases performance in rough water and provides better control while cornering, you’ve got the best of all worlds. In addition to the new platform, BRP also unveiled a Sea-Doo SPARK TRIXX 3-UP with extended seat and rear platform.
It maintains the same level of fun as the hugely successful 2-UP model launched last year, but with an additional passenger and tow sports capability. Pulling off tricks is so easy and so much fun across the entire line-up, you’ll never want the day to end. Simply put, it’s the most versatile entry-level watercraft ever built. There are additional enhancements across the entire 2018 Sea-Doo family, including Performance, Luxury, Tow Sports and Recreation segments.
