BRP received the “Ski of the Year” award from watercraft industry forum PWCToday.com for its new high-performance Sea-Doo RXP-X* 260 watercraft featuring the all new T-shape (T3) hull design and Ergolock system that better connects the rider to the machine.

“PWCToday.com’s six-person selection committee awarded an amazing 9.14 average out of 10 to the 2012 Sea-Doo RXP-X* and nearly a perfect 10 in the fun factor category,” said John Salvatore of PWCToday.com and the Watercraft Superstore.  “From the looks to the handling, every rider had nothing but praise for this watercraft.”

This is BRP’s second Ski of the Year award with the 2011 Sea-Doo GTI SE 130 model taking the top spot last year. This year, the 2012 Sea-Doo RXP-X* was judged side-by-side with the best new watercraft from the industry by a variety of riders of varying skill and experience levels in multiple categories. With its improved rider ergonomics and new hull design, the ability of the new Sea-Doo RXP-X* to allow riders to fully realize their performance potential led to high marks in overall fun.

“BRP focuses on elevating the consumer experience for every product we build. For many riders, the Sea-Doo RXP-X* redefines the high-performance watercraft,” said Yves Leduc, vice-president and general manager for the North America division. “Winning the second straight PWCToday.com Ski of the Year award chosen by real riders is the result of BRP’s dedication to developing designs and technologies that focus on improving the riders’ experience.”

The new Sea-Doo RXP-X commands attention on any waterway with an ominous visual appeal, the distinctive new ErgoLock system and the tight-turning T3 hull. BRP’s ErgoLock system received high praise for its angled footwell wedges and a gradually narrowing seat designed to better connect the rider to the watercraft. It reduces upper body fatigue by allowing the rider to ride with more confidence and less effort. BRP’s ErgoLock system compliments the tight turning aspect of the new, lean-in style T3 hull that test riders noted as providing near effortless turning capabilities.

“BRP continues to be a trendsetter,” stated Chris Dawson, vice-president and general manager, International division. “With the introduction of the Sea-Doo RXP-X* 260 watercraft, state of-the-art technologies designed to increase product performance allow BRP to maintain its status as the recognized industry leader in innovation.”

BRP’s Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 watercraft also won a 2012 Red Dot award earlier this year for product design in the transportation category. The Red Dot Design Awards is a prestigious international design competition in which more than 1,800 manufacturers and designers from 58 countries submitted a total of 4,515 product designs.

SHE-DOO ON BOAT STORAGE: To Store or not to Store…That is the Question

26 Tuesday Jun 2012

As we inch closer to our boat purchase, I am in full-blown preparation mode for my new Sea-Doo boat!

We have decided on the model that we wish to purchase…it is the Sea-Doo Challenger 230 SE.  This is the top of the line Sea-Doo Challenger model that offers some additional perks such as a bow and cockpit cover, stainless steel cup holders, 4-speaker stereo system, ECO mode and more.

Our decision is also based on available space.  My family is only 5 people, but three of those 5 people are over 6 foot tall.  Add in a few teenage friends and the extra space in this boat will go to great use!  The storage is also a huge plus for me.  Most of our trips will be day trips on the river where we will head to Sebastian Inlet or up and down the Florida waterways, so I plan to pack food, clothes, etc., enough for all of us!

Now that we have the boat decision made, we have to figure out the other decisions, the first one is storage.

We have a few options to store our boat…at our house, an on-water slip in a local marina or in rack storage.  I have already ruled out an on-water slip.  This is a big investment for us and I do not want the salt water prevalent in all of our bodies of water in Florida to do any damage to the hull of the boat.  I also am concerned that water-born creatures will attempt to call my new Sea-Doo home and I have heard horror stories of miniscule animals damaging boats stored in the water. That leaves us with storing the boat at home, on the side of the house and towing it each time we want to use it, or in a local dry-dock storage facility.

I called a few local storage facilities that use high and dry fork lifts to pull the boat out of the water and store in their multi-level storage facility.  The beauty to this type of storage would be that we would just have to call ahead or show up at the dock and the boat would be waiting for us to load up and go. The closest facility is a family owned and operated full-service marina, so we wouldn’t have to worry about fueling or cleaning the boat afterwards. They are already set up to help us with everything we need to prepare for a day on the water and to get the boat ready for storage post boating.  The quotes I received came in around $250 per month for a 23-foot boat.  This price is much more affordable than I would have imagined.  This is very high on my consideration list as I see it as the easiest way for me to get out on the water, quickly and with little advance preparation.

The other option is to store the boat at our house.  We can store it on the side of the house, but we do not have a covered storage area appropriate for the boat.  We live in a mature housing development and there is no possibility for adding space to the house or adding on a garage to store the boat.  This option presents us with the least expensive option, but also a bit more work. We would tow the boat to our intended launch ramp, launch at the dock, clean it post boating near the ramp and then bring it back home.  For this option we will need to ensure we have adequate experience towing a boat (I don’t, but my husband does) and will have to allow advance time for boat preparation to get out on the water.  Less expensive yes….however, also more work.

The storage debate is still being waged in our household…I am advocating for the dry storage and my husband is advocating for the beside-the-house storage—I will let you know who wins this one!

Where do you store your boat? Are you a fan of one or the other options?  If you were in my shoes, what would you do? Would love to hear your ideas. Also, please let me know if there are other storage solutions that I have not researched.

SHE DOO is actually Mrs. JA and she is indeed a full-time, working mom of three and is quickly being immersed into the boating life. She will be taking an everyday consumer approach to the entire boat buying process. SHE DOO will be a ongoing segment at OnBoard taking you with her along the journey as she progresses through the process of looking for the right boat, purchasing the right boat, learning the proper boating procedures and operations, real life experiences on the water with her family and everything else there is to know about making the most out of the boating experience and the Sea-Doo LIFE. Her immediate thoughts are how to entertain her 17, 15 and 10 year olds and friends as she sees them being on the water as a much better alternative than them being on the streets.

Dangerous Waters, an adventure reality show, is gearing up for their second Sea-Doo adventure.  In season one, the crew travelled 4500 miles from the shores of Seattle Washington, across the Bering Strait, landing on the remote Russian coastline on Sea-Doo personal watercraft. During this 65-day long trip they experienced breathtaking scenery, wildlife encounters, foul weather, rough seas and much more.

The same brave adventurers are embarking on their next adventure, making their final plans, ensuring their gear is ready, and will be departing from Sacramento,Calif.  This next expedition will take them from the northernmost tip of the American continent to Taiwan.

The first leg of the journey will be via land and air, the crew and Sea-Doo will be flying via Northern Air Cargo and Era Alaska to Nome, Alaska, where the adventure truly begins.   The crew departs Nome on July 1and will travel to Wales, Alaska, the westernmost town on the American continent, from there they will cross the Bering Strait to Russia.  Once in Russia, they will travel the distance of the Russian coast and head to the Kuril Islands.  After the Kuril Islands chain they will head to Japan and travel the west coast of Japan including Okinawa, Iwo Jima and will finish up in Taiwan.

“We have allotted 65 days for this expedition,” said Steven Moll, adventurer and founder. “If everything goes smoothly, and weather in our side, there is a possibility that we could travel farther than expected.”

All of the original crew members returned for the second expedition and include:Steven Moll, adventurer and founder; Andrew Mozella, adventurer, cameraman; Charles Davis, adventurer, mechanic; Wesley Davis, adventurer, pilot, cameraman and Patrick McGregor, adventurer.  Full team bios can be found of the Dangerous Waters website.

Fans will be able to follow their adventure via a new iPhone application launching June 28 in the Apple App store.  This application will track the crew via GPS and contains direct links to their website, blog and social media pages.  For more information, and to keep up with the expedition, connect with Dangerous Waters in digital and social media: www.dangerouswaterstv.com,

PRO STOCK WINNER CHRIS MacCLUGAGE

The Sea-Doo X-TEAM sweeps the PRO STOCK podium at the third round of the IJSBA National watercraft racing tour with MACC Racing’s Chris MacClugage claiming another overall win in Racine, Wisconsin on his MONSTER ENERGY/RIVA Racing Sea-Doo RXP-X.

“The RXP-X is so much fun to race,” said MacClugage.  “It reminds me of racing sport (class) early in my career when I had the most fun racing. The fact they came in 1-2-3 shows how good this watercraft is.”

Racers aboard the new Sea-Doo RXP-X finished 1-2-3 in the highly competitive Pro Stock class as Snyder Built/Riva Racing Racing backed Troy Snyder and the RIVA Racing/Red Bull RXP-X of Erminio Iantosca filled the second and third spots on the podium behind MacClugage. All three racers are utilizing the same Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft* that musclecraft enthusiasts can purchase directly from an authorized BRP/Sea-Doo watercraft dealer today. MacClugage continues to show how the new RXP-X T3 hull’s tight-turning capabilities allow him to run tighter and faster lap times than ever before.

Further proving the off the floor racing capabilities of Sea-Doo watercraft, Georgia’s Jeff Dyckowski and Florida’s Brent Venderley won the Expert Stock and Novice Stock respectively.

Runner up Troy Snyder on RXP-X

X TEAM TUESDAY PROFILE: PWC Racer Erminio Iantosca

NAME: Erminio Iantosca

SPORT:  PWC Racing

AGE:  31 years old

PORT: Naples, Florida

 

 

 

 

Erminio Iantosca is only in the dawn of his 30s but he is a long time veteran of the sport of personal watercraft and chases his passion with the full support of his family. Iantosca has been racing watercraft for over half of his life and has ridden nearly every style and brand of watercraft before making the switch to Sea-Doo last year.  Erminio is well know for running one of the most professional teams among all North American efforts and now flies the Sea-Doo X-TEAM flag proudly.

Honing his riding skills on the gulf waters of South-West Florida, Iantosca is a perennial front runner in the PRO STOCK and PRO OPEN classes in a variety of bodies of water but the surf conditions are still his favorite. OnBoard caught up with Erminio after the first two rounds of the 2012 IJSBA National Tour to share what makes him tick and how he lives the Sea-Doo Life.

ONBOARD —Where did you grow up and how was your competitive spirit developed?

I grew up in Naples, Florida just north of the ten thousand island area, so there is a lot of water here.  Growing up, my dad always told me “If I was going to do anything, I better do it right,” and that gave me the drive and work ethic to pursue professional racing.

ONBOARD — What do you do away from the water to stay on the water? What’s your profession?

I try to mix up my athletic training by participating in everything from typical gym workouts to tennis. My family owns Mama Mia’s Pizzeria and my entire family grew up helping with the family business.

ONBOARD — How were you introduced to watersports?


When I was growing up my Dad got a stand- up (jet-ski) from one of his friends. I was too young to ride it, so he sold it to fellow Sea-Doo X-team racer Chris MacClugage’s dad, for Chris to ride. We knew Chris because my parents started Mama Mia’s Pizza next to a gas station that Chris’s dad owned. Our parents became and still are close friends. As a little kid I would always go to the races with Chris and that’s how I was initially introduced to Watercraft Racing.

ONBOARD — Since you began competing what are some of your accolades?


Two time Busch World Cup Champion, five time National Champion and one time World Champion.

ONBOARD — You have a family engrained in this sport, what are some of your family connections to the sport beyond yourself?


Well, besides me as the rider, I am blessed to have an enthusiastic family support system. First, my Dad, who is not only my mechanic, but the hardest working person I know. He is happy to put in endless hours working on my skis to make sure they perform at the highest level.
Then there is my brother, Joseph Iantosca, who is my “go-to” guy. He helps with everything from driving and traveling to races, getting the ski to the water, to holding my ski at the start. He also is responsible for filming all of my Go-Pro footage.
 Last but not least, my Mom and sister are always there for support and to cheer me on at all of the races. I couldn’t have done it all of these years without my mom who has been there through all of the highs and lows of racing. She also keeps us on time and well fed. My sister, Kristina Iantosca-Hodges, my family’s social butterfly, goes tent to tent keeping us updated on the lives of our tight-knit racing community. She is always there at the races to make sure we have everything that we need.
 Then there is my brother-in-law, Mike Hodges, with Riva Racing who helps me with any parts I need, any questions I may have, and even by being my second mechanic. He is always available to give me positive feedback and keep me focused on the end result.

ONBOARD — Your accomplishments riding watercraft have opened the doors for other action opportunities. What “extra” perks have you enjoyed from being a pro racer?


Because of the similarities between action sports I’ve been able to travel to amazing locations and meet other extraordinary athletes along the way. Thanks to Sea-Doo, I had the opportunity to teach NFL players how to ride watercraft in the Battle of the Gridiron competition. I had a minor part in a movie titled “Making Waves.” For the past few years, I have been invited to participate in a charity golf tournament benefitting Florida Gulf Coast University’s athletics with a variety of other athletes from various professional sports.

ONBOARD — Where is your favorite PWC race site?


Oceanside, California has the biggest surf conditions. I prefer to race in big surf conditions because it pushes all of the racers to compete at a higher level.

ONBOARD — What is it about PWC racing that keeps you coming back?

I enjoy the thrill of going fast on the water, pushing my body to its limits. I also appreciate the camaraderie that we all experience as the PWC racing family.

ONBOARD — What is your dream ride?


My dream ride would be to take a Sea-Doo watercraft around the islands of Fiji because of the beautiful water and scenic views.

ONBOARD — What is or has been YOUR favorite part of being part of the Sea-Doo X-TEAM?

My favorite part of being a Sea-Doo X-team rider is racing for a company as friendly, helpful and intelligent as BRP.

ONBOARD — What are you racing right now and what are looking forward to and who is supporting your 2012 efforts?

I am currently racing the new Sea-Doo RXP-X, and looking forward to racing to the best of my ability and representing Sea-Doo and BRP to the fullest. This couldn’t be achieved without Riva Racing, WRT, Hydro-turf, Jet Pilot, Craig Construction, Skat-Trak, Spy, DC Shoes, and Redbull.

BRP thanks Erminio for his time and passion for the sport.

New for 2012 on the 180 Challenger is the integration of BRP’s award winning iTC (intelligent Throttle Control) system that allows the captain to customize the power delivery electronically and be informed of nearly all engine operations through the easy to see, dashboard mounted Infocenter. The new iTC modes include ECO Mode, Cruise Control, and Docking Mode that provides smooth power delivery in loading/unloading and docking situations.

The 180 Challenger receives its power from the ROTAX 4-TEC 1.5l supercharged marine engine and efficient, Direct Drive Jet Propulsion system. The Sea-Doo Direct Drive Jet Propulsion system provides ultra responsive steering, flatter turning and minimal bow rise. Sea-Doo boats also offer greater shallow water capabilities and added safety for swimmers as they have no exposed propellers, rudders or fins compared to stern drive boats.

BRP’s NEW 2012 Sea-Doo 210 Challenger and 210 Challenger S make full-sized recreational boating fun more accessible to families two ROTAX 4-TEC marine engine packages featuring the award winning iTC system. The 210 Challenger model provides the space needed to live it up in a size that doesn’t go overboard. The new 210 Challenger and 210 Challenger S models’ single engine option gives boating families more power package choices to fit their boating needs and budgets. The new single engine package offers comparable performance to most similar sized stern drive offerings while the twin-engine 210 Challenger S model push it into the upper echelon of recreational boating performance. Both models benefit from direct drive jet propulsion while offering substantially more living space than its competitors with seating for 10†.

Both 2012 Challenger and Challenger S models are available in two color options, Riviera Blue and Scarlet Red. Both models feature iTC, satellite‑ready AM/FM radios with USB and auxiliary input, removable cooler, premium helm, anchor locker, ski pylon (on non tower configurations), large swim platform storage and tandem axle trailer. The 210 Challenger S package adds a three-position cockpit table, snap-in carpet, bimini top and clear bi-fold bow door.

The 210 Challenger SE package take this family runabout to a premium level by adding a third color option of black, double transat seat design, bow and cockpit covers, stainless steel pull-up cleats, rub-rails and cup holders, bow ladder, ski mode, depth finder, transom mounted LCD stereo system remote, two additional speakers and optional forward swept folding tower, and choice between ROTAX 4-TEC twin 1.5l injected of supercharged engine package. BRP’s new weedless system option is available for both the twin-engine 210 Challenger S and SE models.

2012 Sea-Doo 230 Challenger

BRP’s 2012 Sea-Doo 230 Challenger provides more horsepower, more room for passengers and long list of the features desired by boaters, standard and at a better value.  Cockpit and storage space are a premium on any boat and the Sea‑Doo 230 Challenger model over delivers in every category with comfortable seating for 12 and well thought out storage design to stow nearly everything you could need for a fun filled day on the water. The helm console design on the 230 Challenger ensures the captain can easily see information regarding the boats functions, making all controls easy to access while at the dock and under way. 

The Sea-Doo 230 Challenger is available in Scarlet Red, Riviera Blue and a third color, Black in the SE model. Three power options offer flexibility among boating families to find the right Sea-Doo 230 Challenger model to fit their boating needs. Each 230 Challenger is equipped with the standard benefits that come with Direct Drive Jet Propulsion providing unparalleled close quarter/docking maneuverability.  Additionally, the 230 Challenger rivals it’s nearest comparable stern drive boat in fuel economy and with clear performance advantages with less maintenance. For 2012 BRP offers the new weedless system for all Sea-Doo 230 Challenger models.

The 230 Challenger SE package adds; adjustable height drivers seat, bow and cockpit covers, bimini top, stainless steel pull-up cleats rub-rails and cup holders, snap-in carpet, cockpit table with two mount locations, see-thru cockpit door, depth finder, two additional speakers and optional forward swept wakeboard tower and choice of a ROTAX 4-TEC twin 1.5l injected, supercharged or a supercharged high output marine engine packages.
