Bombardier had initially offered a personal watercraft in 1968, but removed it from the market. That original craft was the one of the first sit-down personal watercrafts. It was designed and mentored by Clayton Jacobson II, the developer of the first successful personal watercraft, the Kawasaki Jet Ski. The man who promoted the idea of bringing the Ski-doo experience to the water was Bombardier's Laurent Beaudoin. The original trademark yellow Sea-Doo was an awkward 5 feet wide and 7 1/2 feet long, somewhat resembling a flying saucer. The ski-doo supplied stainless steel handle bars and minimally padded, flat seat combined for an uncomfortable ride.
