I’m getting mine in a couple of months and I really appreciate this video. You have taken some of the anxiety of preparing well and being a first-time boat owner.
Thanks Bro. You just saved me $30,000. What a bunch of hassles, unique to this design. I’ll take an old wood diesel boat, a can of varnish and a bilge pump. Toilet and small frig. $12,000 no problem.
Buying a Switch 18-230 Cruise, thank you for this video, great job!!! Just a here's my boat, here's my walk around, before you purchase video. Not showing off or doing stupid stuff. Your verbiage and humor a couple of times cracked me up. Good job bud
Greetings from a Tiny Island in Maine, USA . Man sea doo should be paying you. Not exactly my style but you give a great, honest review. Also I dig visiting Fla….. mostly west coast. ✌️
thanks for the informative video. I have been searching for information as to why the outer pontoons are designed and built like they are, before we make a purchase of a SWITCH. Thanks for the explanation that they are designed to take in water for weight distribution. my local salesman at the dealer didn't even know this.
230 21 ft owner myself.... there is a lot better way to install battery tender on a switch...install a plug in port on the console next to the fuel filler...and run the cord under the floor tiles,,, hidden and out of the way
If you have the 5-pin converter, you don’t need to tape/magnet that pin in your trailer. You just need power to that 5th wire so that you don’t activate the solenoid when backing up. If you do tape it and you are driving with it and stop, the mechanical brake on the trailer will not activate. Only your vehicle brakes stop you and the trailer brake will not help you stop. Hope that makes sense.
Just got mine (21 foot Cruise with the 230 supercharged motor) and love it. Just an FYI on the 5 pin wiring, the 5th pin is for the breaks so you don't have to put the pin in when backing up. At least that is what the dealer told me, I went to Amazon and for a little over $10 I got an adaptor that goes form 7 pin to both 4 and 5 pin. Have not put the pin in once when backing up and have had no issues so it looks like the dealer was telling the truth. lol
Thank you so much for making this video! It was extremely helpful, informative, and useful! I plan to buy one of these soon, and need to know what I don't know.
Thanks for the video. I have a couple Sparks that I bought when they first came out and they use the same hull material. It was new concept at the time (a few Yamaha owners gave me crap) but after having them for 5 +years now I've grown to like it better than the fiberglass hull on my boat. I'm considering the exact same boat you have. Was hoping (as an owner) you would have commented on how it handles chop, top speed, etc.. I'll be using mine on a fairly large lake that can get a bit choppy if the wind kicks up.
Nice video. I have a the same boat but the cruise. Always interested in seeing how folks have configured things differently. Always good to see everyone complaining about the bumper connections. FWIW the rope you have connected at the back secured w the Velcro tie…..great idea until it isn’t….if that rope falls out and sucked into the intake you’re done. IDF won’t kick it out. I do the same thing but with a 6’ stretch cord that won’t reach the inlet if it falls into the water. Enjoy that FL wx!
Great video! I just got this exact boat and absolutely love it. So far my only complaint is that it does not like the wind although it’s been a consistent 15mph here in TN for the last few weeks so my opinion on that will probably change once the weather calms down.
Great video thanks. I solved the problem with the fender clip problem by simply taking a round file to the inside parting line left by the injection molding process. Careful - it doesn’t take much filing and these clips fit looser is some places on the tubular frame.
I love ours 21 ft got it late September. Got about 9 hours on it because we live in NC were it alot colder. Looking forward for warmer weather. Great video
Favorite vid on the Switch. Good Job explaining it without doing a sales pitch. Thinking strongly about a switch. Just moved to Crystal River & no props for the Manatees is appealing. Concerned about durability of the plastic everything, and longevity of the motor. Really like the maneuverability.
Great video. Lots of insight. I would like to see a video, after you get more time in the switch, specifically on the gripes or things you feel could have been done better. Also any wear and tear that may occur as you get more hours. Thanks again for the video.
You got it! its been a littler colder than we like here in FL with the kids and all so we havent really used it much but thats my plan over the next few weeks
Fantastic video dude. Curious as to how the motor and seats are holding up, and what type of water you are using it in. My last seadoo boat ran with little issues on the banana river which is brackish water. When i moved to north tampa i feel like tge salt content in the watee hammered the seat materials and motor.
Q: I noticed that you are a bigger guy. I’m interested in this as my son pushes 350. Is there a weight limit listed for the deck, not the overall carrying capacity, but a psi or psf limit? The two storage access points (storage and engine compartments) have a plastic bridge at the outer edges. It doesn’t look like there’s anything except the cover that spans the center of the panel.
Dude thanks for the heads up about getting on it. I’ll probably attack some kind of bottle Jack to the rear of the trailer so it won’t lean backwards lol
Since you have experience with both the Yamaha jet boat and Sea Doo switch, I'm curious what your thoughts were comparing the two, pros and cons. I'm considering one or the other as well!
The five pin trailer connection is for electrically activating a solenoid so the brakes do not lock up in Reverse, it's an easy way to do it then using that mechanical brake block you showed us
Thank you for the information. I have been looking into these and noticed to out fit ine it is very expensive. Then the added "commodity surcharge...1400. So I am just learning about them but it appears to get very expensive fast. Are you able add additional lights and such easily? Can wire be run as needed. Regular pontoon boat stupidly easy. Thanks again. Kind of like an expensive bobber, lol
Just bought a 24 foot by 8.5 foot Tahoe tri-toon with a 200 horse Suzuki, and performance lifting fins, for 55K including the trailer, tax, and everything. I don't really see why people would by this for nearly 50K! That is crazy.
Do those square soft floor tiles get hot in the sun? Actually, either the just plastic floor or the soft tile? Do either of them get toasty on bare feet?
I am a graphic installer and ypu cam use primer 94 on those vinyl lettering amd it will stick. Use a hair dryer or heat gun in you have one to post heat the vinyl after layer and it will shrink down into the texture of tje polytech and set the adhesive on the graphics and the primer.
I bought a switch and I am trying to get my boat lift reconfigured to fit. The Hewitt lift dealer is trying to help me get the right bunks and configuration for it but seems to be strugging a bit. Did your neighbor across the street with the lift have any trouble with this? Thanks
Great video. Looking into possibly purchasing one. Answered a bunch of questions I had. BUT, how much of a pain is the wash down? Being in the saltwater and kids getting in and out, I image the saltwater gets everywhere in all the nooks and crannies all over the deck. Doesn’t seem very wash down friendly as there would be standing water in the spaces on the deck. Am I missing something or is there an easy answer? I’m a clean freak when it comes to washing saltwater off my boats. Thanks in advance for any insight!
It is actually friendlier than conventional pontoons. Just wash away! you can pop up the soft tiles and almost every surface can be washed. The pontoons have plenty of space to allow dirt to wash out. I struggles with my older aluminum pontoon because everything was bolted or built in. That where debris and eventually mold took hold. Treat it like a watercraft "jet -ski" instead of a boat. Its made to get wet!
When Bimini is down what is the height from concrete to the top of the Bimini in the closed position. Could it be stored in a garage with 8’ high door? How easily could you remove the swim platform. My garage is 21’ deep with garage door closed. My thoughts were to purchase an 16’ + the 2’ swim deck. When store it at the house I would take off the swim platform and store it.
Great video, I’m thinking about getting the 18’ so it will fit in my garage. I too was looking at the Yamaha 21 but too expensive. Anything about the switch I should consider before purchasing?
Great video. My question, that has been a bit difficult to find the answer to, is how long is the engine life on the Rotax engine. Everything I read is around 500 hours. Seems like a very short life compared to other engines. Thanks!
That's a concern I had too. The answers vary wildly but it seems like model number and application make a huge difference. The 500-1,000 hours seems to be on Rotax motors in snow mobiles (which I imagine live harder lives than boats). One forum cited the marine application (not sure which output) typically lasts 2,500-3,000 following prescribed maintenance. That being said the switch has only been out a few years so time will tell if the heavier weight makes much of a difference.
Great video! How is the ladder and access into the boat from the water? Is it functional and comfortable? I only see one handle to get up out of water and was curious. Thanks!
Have you had wet kids coming in & out of the boat yet? Curious about how slick the flooring gets as well as where all that water drains to…does water end up in your engine compartment?
Switch owner in central Florida here. Curious how often you cross paths with other Switch boats? Personally know someone with one on the Winter Haven chain of Lakes nearby myself a few miles away. Met someone with this boat up at lake Minneola three or so months ago. One other occasion that escapes me. We have the 13 foot sport. We definitely have the same thoughts and opinions overall. Kind of conflicted because on one hand buying something this new you have to deal with the flaw designs that will probably be corrected. On the other hand I doubt my cost with price increases would make me all that happy had I waited for a better overall product. We have had some nice times with it . But I wish I knew beforehand how easily the jet boats will damage if you are not really cautious around shallow water. Hard lesson learned there.
if your switch yellow ? i think i came across you on lake minneola lol gotta watch the shallow waters for sure. i installed the garmin transducer for depth reading but sometimes its too late and your already in the shallow before the reading hits.
the first thing I thought of when seeing the switch is like Windows for your PC. It is a "platform" that will allow 3rd parties to create all sorts of cool add ons. Personally, I am working on a water cannon to lock into the deck!!!!!!
why tape reverse lockout in? You have a truck w/ 7 pin connector, this has a reverse lockout pin. When in reverse (with trailer harness connected), it triggers a solenoid on trailer to lockout surge brakes.
Nice video FrancoPhoto! Really appreciate learning about the boat from your perspective. A question for you, any regret putting the battery switch inside the engine bay? I’m contemplating getting one installed but think it might be more convenient to have the battery switch placed on the helm for better access. Thanks again for taking the time to film your thoughts.
Thank you Marco. As ed said you generally dont want starter wires to be long if you can avoid it plus the original battery switch was located there from the factory so i figured it was a good spot to keep it. also if you place it under the helm you expose it to the elements and id imagine that cant be good for it.
@@c.juneau410 I would call them but from I know it’s the same ACE 1630 motor that’s in the 100hp all the way up to the 300. Only difference is the way they are tuned and wether or not it has a supercharger on it or not.
Really impressed with this tritoon. Ease of operation, modular repair and attractive price. My one complaint, wish they would have come out with more aggressive colors. Not impressed with the pastel's
The connector for the trailer is not uncommon. My utility trailer has one. My dump trailer has the round large one because it has brakes and charges the trailer’s battery. My truck can accept both types.
If you want to see a big piece of plastic, take a look at the CanAm Spyders. I wanted to add a GPS in the factory location and had to disassemble at least 4 panels to get to the power location. More if I want to use the factory wiring path. It looks lance when it’s all buttoned up but it takes a lot of effort (knowing that I’ve only do this once) to get down to the frame and wiring.
The cost of the boat and amount maintenance compared to just getting a pontoon with a yamaha outboard makes no since. Youll be rebuilding a seadoo motor at 4-500hrs if you baby it. A yamaha outboard will go 5000hrs. These seadonts are a waste of money and time.
@@calephillips-pu4kq I've had a Sea-Doo Challenger 210 for over 10 years now and love it. Only starting to consider this because it's better for the family without giving up tubing.
@lightningrodofh8509 You definitely have the non-supercharged version with either low hours or you've spent an insane amount on maintenance. Why give up anything? Buy a pontoon with a yamaha of equal hp as the seadonts and you'll be able to do all the tubing you want.
@@calephillips-pu4kq Nope, it's the 430HP version. So dual 215HP with Superchargers. Over the winter we replaced the impellers and flipped the sleeves around (so that part was free). And now that we're hitting 200hrs we need to rebuild the Superchargers. So that will be $2k (CAD). We could probably do it ourselves, but it's easier with specialized tools. Over the 10+ years of having the thing, I would have spent more than that replacing propellers. With our old boat, someone used to always find a rock once a year. Both our previous inboard and the Challenger need an oil change and winterizing once a year. So that maintenance is the same. It's also amazingly quick and jumps out of the water faster than anything. A normal pontoon boat doesn't handle like the Switch. Even if they are faster. But we've decided to stick with our current Sea-Doo boat anyways. We'll see in a few years.

Great video would you still
Recommend it as a boat now you’ve had an almost a year?
Thanks in advance legend
Thanks! That was very helpful!
Have you looked into the engine gateway and NMEA 2000 in order to unlock all the engine data with the Echomap 72sv chart plotter?
Thanks good learning
Great video- how is the switch in shallow water? We're looking for something we can launch from the shore into a lake.
Great vid bro. Much obliged.
What part of Florida do you live in? Thx for the great video...
The last thing you want is to be stranded on the water.....ever. Classic.

I don't see the links you described.
Could your neighbor back into the lift? I guess it would just depend on the style of lift. It does suck that the top cant be folded back as well.
Lots of holes for spiders to live so I guess you need to spray it often.
So you strongly recommend a second battery eh?
Really impressed with this tritoon. Ease of operation, modular repair and attractive price. My one complaint, wish they would have come out with more aggressive colors. Not impressed with the pastel's

The connector for the trailer is not uncommon. My utility trailer has one. My dump trailer has the round large one because it has brakes and charges the trailer’s battery. My truck can accept both types.
that 5 pin plug is due to the fact the trailer has a brake.

Hey brother. you need to buy a wind screen. Hard to hear ya
Nice. However you did not include the links to the products.

Life jackets
I think it sweeps forward for strength
Yes, especially when underway with the bimini up. And
, also style!
It’s called a surge brake…
Man its a nice boat but to me it looks like its not made to last ....
spray paint the numbers with a stencil
thats a bit messy for my style. im gonna spend the money on getting the jetboat pilot seadeck numbers
That’s not true if your lights are connected it disengages the reverse brakes
You have to get in water to flush
Hate it when people say 'toons. If you call it 'za I won't eat it with you, call them 'toons and I'll fish from shore.
Basically it's a big piece of plastic with a engine but nice tho
youre not wrong
If you want to see a big piece of plastic, take a look at the CanAm Spyders. I wanted to add a GPS in the factory location and had to disassemble at least 4 panels to get to the power location. More if I want to use the factory wiring path. It looks lance when it’s all buttoned up but it takes a lot of effort (knowing that I’ve only do this once) to get down to the frame and wiring.
The cost of the boat and amount maintenance compared to just getting a pontoon with a yamaha outboard makes no since. Youll be rebuilding a seadoo motor at 4-500hrs if you baby it. A yamaha outboard will go 5000hrs. These seadonts are a waste of money and time.
Prices are equivalent...you just don't like Seadoo.
@@rikrmrtis1313 But you're correct, I don't like low quality unreliable junk
@@calephillips-pu4kq I've had a Sea-Doo Challenger 210 for over 10 years now and love it. Only starting to consider this because it's better for the family without giving up tubing.
@lightningrodofh8509 You definitely have the non-supercharged version with either low hours or you've spent an insane amount on maintenance. Why give up anything? Buy a pontoon with a yamaha of equal hp as the seadonts and you'll be able to do all the tubing you want.
@@calephillips-pu4kq Nope, it's the 430HP version. So dual 215HP with Superchargers. Over the winter we replaced the impellers and flipped the sleeves around (so that part was free).
And now that we're hitting 200hrs we need to rebuild the Superchargers. So that will be $2k (CAD). We could probably do it ourselves, but it's easier with specialized tools. Over the 10+ years of having the thing, I would have spent more than that replacing propellers. With our old boat, someone used to always find a rock once a year.
Both our previous inboard and the Challenger need an oil change and winterizing once a year. So that maintenance is the same.
It's also amazingly quick and jumps out of the water faster than anything.
A normal pontoon boat doesn't handle like the Switch. Even if they are faster. But we've decided to stick with our current Sea-Doo boat anyways. We'll see in a few years.
Q: Could this boat (The smallest version) be considered as a yacht tender? Replacing a dingy... Or are we talking only for the bigger size yacht's?
no clean boat... is the key.
