Until then, BRP says it will work with the Marcott family to ensure a smooth transition.

The company launched a plan last year to sell its various marine businesses, excluding its Sea-Doo personal watercraft and related operations.

BRP has already finalized the sale of its Alumacraft business and signed an agreement for the sale of its Telwater business that is still subject to certain closing conditions.
