Bombardier Confirms a new Technological Alliance Between Sea-Doo(R) Sport Boats and Mercury Marine SEPTEMBER 22, 1999 SAINTE-ANNE-DE-BEAUPRE, QUEBEC--Bombardier Recreational Products confirmed today the technological alliance between Sea-Doo(R) sport boats and Mercury Marine, the world's leading manufacturer of boat engines. Mr. Roch Lambert, Vice President and General Manager, Sport Boats, made the announcement to Quebec Bombardier dealers gathered at Mont Sainte-Anne near Quebec City to attend Bombardier Recreational Products' first ever Canadian Marine Technology Conference. "As we are the reference for technological innovation, we're always searching for new products to offer our customers the most exciting experience possible on the water," said Mr. Lambert. It is in keeping with this vision that eight of the ten models of Sea-Doo 2000 sport boats will now be equipped with the Mercury Marine (M2) Jet Drive propulsion system. The 210 hp M2 Jet Drive and the 240 hp M2 EFI Jet Drive, both V6 engines, were developed in collaboration with Mercury and are now exclusive to Sea-Doo models of 16 feet and more. Rotax(R) engines, recognized for their reliability and efficiency, will continue to equip 14-footers and other Sea-Doo models. "Over the years, we have repeatedly proved with our Sea-Doo models that this technology is very safe and that it offers easy handling and precision." Mr. Lambert went on to add that "our experience as largest boat manufacturer combined with that of Mercury, the world's leading manufacturer of boat engines, will allow us to open up new horizons and bring Sea-Doo sport boats and jet propulsion technology to the forefront of the industry." Mercury Marine is an American company founded in 1939. Today, it is the most important division of Brunswick Corporation, a firm that has been in the business of recreation for 155 years. With total sales of US $1.5 billion, 6,000 employees and 7,000 dealerships, Mercury Marine is active on the North American Continent and all over the world.

For the Year 2000, Bombardier Announces a Technological Breakthrough for its Watercraft SEPTEMBER 22, 1999 SAINTE-ANNE-DE-BEAUPRE, QUEBEC--With the new millennium just around the corner, Bombardier Recreational Products top management today unveiled the new line of Sea-Doo(R) personal watercraft. These fun to drive, safe and even cleaner models are everything water sports enthusiasts have hoped for, and more! Indeed, users of Sea-Doo PWCs will now be able to benefit from the spectacular improvements brought about by the unmatched Orbital direct fuel injection system that is now installed on the 2000 RX and GTX models. "Thanks to this exclusive direct injection technology," explained Mr. Jose Boisjoli, President, Snowmobiles and Watercraft, "Sea-Doo 2000 watercraft offer remarkable quality, smooth and powerful acceleration, as well as a reduction in emissions of up to 75 percent(1) and fuel economy of up to 30 percent during a typical day of use!(2) A quieter ride is also offered this year thanks to the D-Sea-Bel(TM) sound attenuation system. All these improvements have been made without sacrificing the pleasure, easy handling and safety that have made our PWCs the industry standard." Direct injection improves fuel combustion by keeping unburned fuel in the exhaust system. The result is greater fuel efficiency and a significant reduction in emissions. In short, it's cleaner and cheaper to operate. Chokeless start and precise throttle control are additional advantages of this revolutionary new technology. Mr. Boisjoli took this opportunity to specify that the D-Sea-Bel(TM) sound reduction system that had been installed since 1998 on GTX models was now standard equipment on ALL Sea-Doo personal watercraft. "With Orbital technology, the GTX(i) DI and RX DI watercraft have clearly demonstrated in a most practical way the technological superiority of Bombardier Recreational Products," added Mr. Boisjoli. "We are determined to work proactively in order to ensure that our products not only meet environmental standards but that they go beyond them." Bombardier Recreational Products designs, develops, builds, distributes and markets Ski-Doo(R) and Lynx(R) snowmobiles, snowgrooming equipment and multi-purpose tracked vehicles, Sea-Doo(R)watercraft and sport boats, Bombardier all-terrain vehicles and Bombardier NV(TM) neighborhood vehicles.
