April 11–13, 2025 | Garson Arena, Sudbury, ON
Earlier this month, 4,700 people walked through the doors of the Great Outdoor Show, and BadRiverBoats was right there to meet them.
As a proud Gold Sponsor, we showcased two of our most in-demand models: the 18′ Cottager and 20′ Tiller. Built in Sudbury with marine-grade aluminum, these boats are designed to perform in real-world conditions, on the job, at the camp, or out on the lake.
Our booth highlighted what we do best: building aluminum boats that are as durable as they are dependable. Visitors got a close-up look at some of our most popular models.
Each boat is hand-welded in Sudbury using marine-grade aluminum and built to handle harsh conditions, heavy loads, and real work on the water. From rugged job sites to remote fishing spots, our boats are trusted to perform where it matters most.
Throughout the weekend, we connected with boaters, dealers, and outdoor lovers who appreciated the quality and custom options that set BadRiverBoats apart.
A huge thank you to RL Equipment Sales & Services Ltd. or standing with us throughout the event. Their on-site support and shared commitment to service helped drive interest and spark meaningful conversations. If you’re looking to take a closer look at our BadRiverBoats model that RL Equipment carries, visit their RL’s inventory.
Together, we made sure visitors left with answers, inspiration, and maybe even their next boat.
We were also proud to support the Junction Creek Stewardship Committee, who joined us at the show to raise funds through their Gear Up & Go Raffle. The grand prize? A custom-built aluminum ATV trailer crafted by our BRB Aluminum Specialty Products division right here in Sudbury.

From live music and fireworks to packed vendor halls and great conversations, the show was a true celebration of Northern spirit. It was a privilege to meet so many people who value Ontario Made and true Canadian-made products and local craftsmanship.
To everyone who visited our booth, asked questions, or simply stopped by to say hello, thank you. Your support means everything to our team.
We’ll see you next year, and until then, we’ll see you on the water.
