Did you hear about a possible Sea-Doo Boo-Boo?

Bombardier best-selling jet-boat, the CHALLENGER, was 
advertised to be suitable for the purpose of towing 
water-skiers.

However, some people swore that they got burned by 
salespeople's inflated claims.  I have also heard 
that at least one ski school couldn't get their 
students up on a Sea-Doo's jet boat.  One instructor 
said that Sea-Doo was underpowered for the job.

Consequently, a consumer group found indications that 
the Sea-Doo "Challenger" was incapable of towing 
skiers who weight over 220 lbs.

Boaters' complaints reached Consumer Action Group 
(416) 587-0070, who researched the subject, and found 
what they allege is a "smoking gun".

I have now heard that a class-action lawsuit claiming 
up to $50,000 per Challenger is being readied in this 
regard.
