I,ve heard that Johnson,s Sport Centre in Bottineau has given up their Ski Doo dealership.Can anybody shed some light on this?

Yep
100% done with doo.
I was personally in their shop & can verify this.

the reason was that ski doo wanted them to sell ski doo atv's and they already sell two other brands. screwed up the ski doo parts ardering from there too as ski doo wont renew , so they cant order ski doo parts

seems as though BRP gets kind of funny from time to time with their dealers. Similar situation happened several years ago (I was told it was something to do with the PWC's at that time) with the dealer in West Fargo. Lost a very very good dealer when that all went down.

It's definitely a bummer. I would have driven 80+ miles to go to Johnson's over the 5 miles to Vallely's.
