While not a direct impact to Sea Doo or Rotax, it could have some big consequences.....

I've heard this thing sounds a lot worse than it actually is.
First, nothing happens till the Spring and regardless - this "decision" in reality is nothing more than an opening salvo to some serious negotiations.
I would not be too worried.

Separate organization from Bombardier Inc, something tells me the Canadian Government isn't subsidizing waverunners

Nevermind, thought BRP was still a subsidiary of Bombardier. Looks like the Bombardier family still has a piece of BRP, but no direct relation.

In the middle of negotiations on a Global (for my employer)....trying to see if they will heavily discount it.

While it is true BRP was spun off in 2003, this new tariff is looking like a potentially very big issue:

Although I dont see this as an issue to the BRP line, I will agree that if they want to sell these crafts in the US, they should build them here just as Yamaha does.

Aren't Yamaha JB engines manufactured in Japan? (and I wish they made entire boats over there, actually)
All of the Rotax (BRP) engines are still made in Austrian Wels Lands, I think. So, what's the difference?
