What it made and sold

1996 · Likely

Bombardier's 1996 Sea-Doo Racing Handbook, so dated by the Internet Archive's item title, lists Novi Performance Products of Fletcher, North Carolina, among the seven makers in its list of aftermarket manufacturers and services, a list it says Sea-Doo recommends; the text prints the services apart from the names, so no service can be matched to the company.

1998 · Likely

Bombardier's 1998 Sea-Doo Racing Handbook, so dated by the Internet Archive's item title, lists Novi Performance Products of Fletcher, North Carolina, for race parts and flame arresters, among the aftermarket manufacturers it says it recommends.

Likely

Group K's undated page on racing modifications for the Kawasaki 750 stand-up gives 46 mm and 48 mm Novi carburettors as the primary options for its race-gas inlet set-ups, says the KMC team, Kawasaki's racing team on the page's own preface, was using the 48 mm size at the time of writing, and says the Novi carburettors need aftermarket flame arrestors; its kit lists include 46 mm and 48 mm Novi carburettors. The archive reads these as this company's from the name, an inference.

On the race sheets

2004 · Likely

The International Jet Sports Boating Association's overall sheets for Pro Runabout and Pro Ski at the 2004 World Finals print Novi in the sponsors columns of entries in both classes, which the archive reads as this company from the name, an inference.

What the archive has not read (2)

• No held document dates the start or end of trading, says who owns the company, or gives a registry record (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-17).
• No US trademark is held in the company's name; the NOVI marks the register returns belong to other companies, for superchargers and satellites, and no document ties them to this one (USPTO name searches, 2026-10-17).

Documents cited on this page

• Sea-Doo Racing Handbook 1998 (archive.org): Sea-Doo Racing Handbook, 1998 edition (Bombardier Inc.; Internet Archive item manualzilla-id-6025632, OCR excerpts), Bombardier Inc., held by the Internet Archive, 1998; manufacturer primary, medium. The craft maker's racing handbook for Sea-Doo racers, dated 1998 by the Internet Archive's item title (its text lists 1996 IJSBA champions and paint codes to 1997). Read from the OCR text on 2026-10-16. Its Aftermarket Manufacturers section lists makers the craft maker says it recommends, each with a line of goods in brackets: Factory Pipe (Exhaust Systems), Hot Products (Racing Parts), Ocean Pro Engineering (Race Parts and Flame Arresters), Westcoast Performance Products (Racing Parts and Carbon Fiber Hulls) and others; its 787 engine section names a Factory Pipe exhaust; a page quotes the Westcoast Performance Products racing team manager. Medium: an independent maker's document, read as OCR, and the list is its recommendation, not a test. Held as excerpts with addresses and telephone numbers removed.
• Sea-Doo Racing Handbook 1996 (archive.org): Sea-Doo Racing Handbook, 1996 edition (Bombardier Inc.; Internet Archive item manualzilla-id-6034982, OCR excerpts), Bombardier Inc., held by the Internet Archive, 1996; manufacturer primary, medium. The craft maker's racing handbook, dated 1996 by the Internet Archive's item title (its paint and porting tables run to the 1996 models). A page quotes the "Pro Racing Team Manager, Westcoast Performance Products", and the Aftermarket Manufacturers and Services list names Westcoast Performance Products among seven makers; the OCR prints the services column apart from the names, so no service is matched to a maker. Factory Pipe, Hot Products and Ocean Pro are not in this edition's list. Medium: an independent maker's document read as OCR. (as Sea-Doo Racing Handbook 1998 above)
• Group K Kawasaki 750 racing page (groupk.com): Kawasaki SXI Pro 750, Racing Mods (Group K page), Group K; manufacturer primary, medium. The shop's page for its kits for the Kawasaki 750 stand-up, undated and listing a 2002 model: a preface on a 2001 relationship with Kawasaki's race team, the exhaust section that defines the shop's use of dry for a Factory Pipe pipe, and the kit lists. Medium as a seller's description of products it sells; its relationship claims are the shop's own and no Kawasaki document is held (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-09). The held copy omits the site menus.
• 2004 World Finals Pro Runabout overall (web.archive.org): 2004 World Finals, Pro Runabout overall points (PDF, Wayback capture), International Jet Sports Boating Association, 2004; sanctioning body, high. Pro Runabout overall points by boat, with three motos and the sum. The sheet prints no position column and its cells drift out of line partway down the list, so an overall position read from it is an inference.
• 2004 World Finals Pro Ski overall (web.archive.org): 2004 World Finals, Pro Ski overall points (PDF, Wayback capture), International Jet Sports Boating Association, 2004; sanctioning body, high. Pro Ski overall points by boat, name, hometown and sponsors, with three motos and the sum. One rider who rode all three motos is missing from this overall, so the sheet is read with the moto sheets.
