Subject: SBT Announces Price Increase....the First in 10 Years!
SBT announced today that the company has increased the pricing of its remanufactured 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines and cylinders. The move was necessary in order to maintain its commitment to advance and improve the quality and performance of its engines, and to keep up with the ever-increasing costs of materials and labor. Cj Lammers, President of SBT, states, "Although it was a very hard decision to make, we're very proud of the fact that it's the first time in 10 years that SBT has raised its engine prices." He adds, "Our customers can still expect to receive the same great product at highly competitive prices, as well as unparalleled customer service and unmatched technical support they've come to know and expect. We appreciate and thank all the valued customers who continue to support us." Hard parts and pump parts are not affected by the increase.

Subject: SBT Offers New One-Year, Fault-Free Warranty on PWC Crankshafts
Effective today, SBT crankshafts will now come with an industry leading one-year fault-free warranty. This new warranty covers all types of failure including water intrusion, over-heating, lack of lubrication, and all other forms of abuse. This warranty policy applies retroactively to all crankshafts purchased after May 26th, 2003.

The mission of SBT since it was formed in 1997 has been to make owning, operating, and maintaining a PWC more affordable. We take great pride in the fact that the average retail price of a major PWC engine overall in the United States is half of what it was before SBT was created. Pressure from SBT has resulted in tremendous changes in the industry such as Bombardier lowering the dealer price on some of their factory engines by as much as 50% and extending their warranty from 90 days to one year. These changes have benefited PWC owners Worldwide.
