Ok Im in the market for one and I was looking at this it is great for what I want to use it for but my main concern was the flapping noise as soon as I saw those i was concerned but you cleared that right up THEY DONT FLAP!! Yay!! Thats great to hear
Excited to say I'm getting the sport 18ft for family fun and I personally can't wait to put to my fishing challenge and I have no doubt it's going to be an amazing machine point blank, have a Blessed day everyone
I have watched 5 reviews on this and no one mentions the Bimini top when not in use. I found out that the top down goes forward and you basically have to duck under it in the down position it's in the way. So you must have it up to get the most out of the deck space. That is a bad design in my opinion fix that and this thing is a big winner
Hey man thanks for all your videos on the switch very awesome! Can you tell me what the total length is with trailer? Do you think the swim deck will be optional for 13ft model?
I'm planning my first boat purchase. I really like these for price point and features. Is it made with salt water in mind ? I'm wondering if it needs any special treatment to prevent salt corrosion
Thanks for the video. Any idea if you can add a swim platform to the compact version? I know it comes on the larger models but would be great to have on the compact.
What size ball hitch does the trailer need? I ordered this same exact set up. Also do you know the level height of the coupler? Need to get my hitch set up before mine is delivered! Love all your videos!
will it fit, with the bimiini down, with my 6'8" garage clearance height? Or will the Bimini need to be removed completely? I saw this question posed before, but no answer.
Looks awesome! Do you need to hold the throttle down while using cruise control? Hand fatigue is thing on my seadoo especially when going long distances so grip free control would be nice like a normal pontoon boat say.
Thank you so much for the detailed video! I love that colour and shorter length! Do they make a camper enclosure for the compact length, or just the longer versions?
This is also the only video I've seen someone show it comes with a rear tow point ... before this I though you HAD to get the platform and add the pole .. I just want to tow tubes .. Great/Best video I've seen ... thank you ! Any idea on when these will start trickling out and available to buy ??
You can order at anytime, but units won't be delivered until summer of next year. My order confirmation says July 30 2022 but my dealer says he thinks it will be sooner
Looks like a very cool unit. The one thing I would be worried about is how UV resistant all that plastic is? Looks to be the same as the spark which looks like crap after 2 years. Time will tell.
I detail vehicles as a hobby and I’ve found that chemical guys new car trim dressing works fantastic as a conditioner and sunblock for all the black plastics. Really helps restore that wet dark shine. A little goes a long way. Id probably give it a quick wipe down with that stuff a few times a year.
Question about the speaker upgrade? How do you plug it in and does the required extra battery battery fit below deck or does it need to go to the swim platform?
Did you get in and out of the water at the rear of the boat? I saw the ladder but I didn't see an easy way to get back into the boat since there is no rear door. How did y'all do it?
Those shocks in the back are actually small trim tabs with shocks built in. I’m assuming they were engineered like that so they wouldn’t sheer off when you launch off 10’ wave . Also the jet has has a trim system . That "plastic stuff " is either 30 or 40 mil. clear vinyl . Again I am assuming that bombardier manufactures their own . Last but not least it’s not a pontoon , I would consider it a tri - hull configuration . I have owned quite a few can -am , sea -doos over the years and they build a great product . I bet no one knows they built m-x bikes in the 70’s .
How is this in tight shallow spots? I'm thinking for spearfishing and snorkeling this might be really good for getting off and on the boat. Looks like you could carry 3 divers and a spotter with ease, and with the range just from your two days of booting around should be more than sufficient for exploring nooks and crannies on small islands etc. Might even be decent for scuba diving if she'll handle swells okay, and cats, or tri-hulls are known for being stable, what was your experience like?
The should have put a gasoline proof fuel bib on that cap so gas doesn't spill on the cloth zipper piece. At first I wasn't sure about these as I have a speedster 150 255hp but the more I see them the more I like. I'll wait for a couple of years until they work out any bugs or offer more HP for this model.
OK so you answered one question I had with the IDR because lake I go to sometimes has a lot of debris when it goes up and down. So did you have to use it at all? Do you know if it is a stainless steel impeller? I had to replace my plastic one on a spark since it got damaged with debris. Are there any side gates to go on it? How about the stern? Since this looks like a fairly short so how did it handle chop? Did it nose dive at all going over other boat wakes? Did you have to hold the handlebars when on cruise?
Can I get one in Camo for duck hunting? Maybe NO bimini top. Just some Camo and cat tail netting over the rails. The lay down area looks like a very comfortable shooting position.
What are your true thoughts on the clear vinyl sides? Damage easy or have long term durability potential? Are the toons chambered or is it one open toon??? With 5 people on board does it sink down low in the water or is it buoyant???
OK finally a channel that allows comments about this I love the look of it I love the performance but my concern is what about boatlifts? My family has a lake place and I don’t believe this would work on the current boatlift we have I don’t think it work at all due to where the engines are or in this case engine so what’s the deal with that? What would somebody have to get which would be another five grand
Hey!! Just wanted to know. How high is it about with the trailer? Trying to get one and I’m wondering if it can fit in my garage. I know it fits length wise just need to know how high it is to see if it will clear the garage door
Just curious, I live on a lake that allows electric pontoon boats only. I’m considering this one for both lake use and ocean. Question, is there space or room to attach a trolling motor? Thank you and great video
I just Ordered my Switch Cruise 170 hp. Nothing at the dealerships yet so can not do walk around yet. Can you tell me if the unit I purchased has two gates or just the one on the front. Dealer was not sure either. By the way good job on the walk around video. Also I see the red and green nav lights, but does it come with the 360 white light?
We beached it a few times, it just depends where you’re beaching soft white beach sand or an area with tons of shells and rocks you have to be cautious when beaching any watercraft
Nice! Been waiting on this walk-through!
Honestly this this is amazing, starts at a obtainable price point as well.
After owning a dozen boats I believe the Switch series will be a hit!
Totally agree, honestly the steering was the best part, it was so fun having that type of steering on a boat
Awesome walk through! Can't wait to get one as well.
Love it!!! It was so much fun!😃😃
Ok Im in the market for one and I was looking at this it is great for what I want to use it for but my main concern was the flapping noise as soon as I saw those i was concerned but you cleared that right up THEY DONT FLAP!! Yay!! Thats great to hear
Awesome video very informative!!!
Excited to say I'm getting the sport 18ft for family fun and I personally can't wait to put to my fishing challenge and I have no doubt it's going to be an amazing machine point blank, have a Blessed day everyone
Be ready for a hood time!!!!

You can keep it up but collapsed/folded in place
Great pontoon sea doo switch sea doo has done it again folks great video !!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That thing is cool as hell love it
I am in LOVE this is the Jeep of Ponton Boats I am buying one next summer at any cost.
Looks like a super fun boat to have
Really incredible.. Great looking boat.
Wow. Really nice video. Thanks.
Hey man thanks for all your videos on the switch very awesome! Can you tell me what the total length is with trailer? Do you think the swim deck will be optional for 13ft model?
awesome review. thanks man
This is badass! Chris and I should get one!
Do it!!! It was such a fun ride
Mini pontoon boat with a jet drive...I can dig it.
Can you beach it like a regular pontoon or does the middle section keep you from it? Also is it that polytec plastic stuff?
Could a pedestal fishing seat be installed in the front? And a trolling motor?
I’m thinking could potentially be a perfect fish/tube family fun boat.
I ordered the 21 footer , my question is about a boat lifts , what kind of boat lift will this need given it is a tritoon.. any suggestions?
Do you know if they all come with an anchor, nav lights and a paddle?
I’m gunna get one of these for my kids when I have them
Looks great
Been checking your videos.. thanks 🙏 Really curious how this could hand semi open ocean or island groups in the northwest.
how stable on ocean, how fast and do you need to take some type of marine class to operate >??
It's about time the jetski grew up .
Do you know if you can add the swim deck to the compact.
How does it tow? Is there a cover while towing and how does the shade stow?
I'm planning my first boat purchase. I really like these for price point and features. Is it made with salt water in mind ? I'm wondering if it needs any special treatment to prevent salt corrosion
How's this stored for off-season? Is there a cover for it?
What are pontoons made out of. What's the draft in the water? Wondering how shallow of water it can safely go.
Thanks for the video. Any idea if you can add a swim platform to the compact version? I know it comes on the larger models but would be great to have on the compact.
Not sure, try looking on Sea-Doo website. We’ll try and find out as well
Is there any cabin lights or dc power besides the one shown on the helm?
Thanks for the video. Can this model pull a wakeboard? Does it have a rail above to tie a rope to?
What size ball hitch does the trailer need? I ordered this same exact set up. Also do you know the level height of the coupler? Need to get my hitch set up before mine is delivered! Love all your videos!
Is it available to buy now ? And if it is where in Miami …
Whats your thoughts and opinion of getting the ski pylon? Worth it or is the back attachment gunna be good enough?
Ski pylon is nice, we did not use it when we went tubing.
Do you know the trailer length to fit in a garage or how many feet the garage had to be?
What about fishing in the boat, is it good for that or only having fun on the water?
will it fit, with the bimiini down, with my 6'8" garage clearance height? Or will the Bimini need to be removed completely? I saw this question posed before, but no answer.
Looks awesome! Do you need to hold the throttle down while using cruise control? Hand fatigue is thing on my seadoo especially when going long distances so grip free control would be nice like a normal pontoon boat say.
Yes it does have true hands-free cruise control
Turn cruise on and hit the button...its that easy
Would you happen to know it's storage dimension.
can you do a review of how it handles on choppy water?
This loos sweet. I'll buy a used one in a couple years after depreciation sets in, as what tends to happen to pontoons.
I want this exact model soooooo bad !
It was a blast we had so much fun
I am not seeing the 170 compact available. Is that going to be available?
This is a cool little boat
So much fun we had a blast
Thank you so much for the detailed video! I love that colour and shorter length! Do they make a camper enclosure for the compact length, or just the longer versions?
Yes they have a full enclosure
No they don’t make the camper enclosure for the compact sport.
Unfortunately no camper enclosure for the compact.
When are they going to produce them? When they will deliver it to the customers?
Have they said anything about an aluminum option on the trailer?
What is the height on trailer? Will it fit inside standard garage?
Does the trailer come standard with the spare tire?
how did it handle rough water?
What’s the height with trailer with Bimini up and down? Thanks. Great video!!
Can it park in a garage? What is the towing weight with the trailer?
This is also the only video I've seen someone show it comes with a rear tow point ... before this I though you HAD to get the platform and add the pole .. I just want to tow tubes .. Great/Best video I've seen ... thank you !
Any idea on when these will start trickling out and available to buy ??
Very soon from what I hear
You can order at anytime, but units won't be delivered until summer of next year. My order confirmation says July 30 2022 but my dealer says he thinks it will be sooner

Question about the speaker upgrade? How do you plug it in and does the required extra battery battery fit below deck or does it need to go to the swim platform?
Great question, we’ll get the answers and create a video with installation
I never wanted a boat until i seen the switch.
is there a handle at the rear to use with ladder when climbing back in?
Can the swim platform be added to the compact model?
How is this switch holding up? I really want one but want to see how they are holding up after a year in the water
How fast does it go
Can i get one with the new mercury V12 on the back?
What’s the storage length on the trailer?
It is possible to carry more then 5 adults? Or is that a realistic limit?
What's the draft on these? Looks like the middle toon is much lower and the engine is pretty low.
How fast?
I used to have a 4 man jet boat and loved it. Also how many riders?
I notice a model that came with a mesh camp net to protect you against mosquitoes. Is that only for certain models?
Did you get in and out of the water at the rear of the boat? I saw the ladder but I didn't see an easy way to get back into the boat since there is no rear door. How did y'all do it?
Yes, easy to re board from rear.
Those shocks in the back are actually small trim tabs with shocks built in. I’m assuming they were engineered like that so they wouldn’t sheer off when you launch off 10’ wave .
Also the jet has has a trim system . That "plastic stuff " is either 30 or 40 mil. clear vinyl . Again I am assuming that bombardier manufactures their own .
Last but not least it’s not a pontoon , I would consider it a tri - hull configuration .

Does well we had in some tight areas and sandbars
The should have put a gasoline proof fuel bib on that cap so gas doesn't spill on the cloth zipper piece. At first I wasn't sure about these as I have a speedster 150 255hp but the more I see them the more I like. I'll wait for a couple of years until they work out any bugs or offer more HP for this model.
How about a video of using it around docks to show how it works in tight spaces.
It maneuver is excellent, it turns on a dime and very easy to maneuver in tight spaces
OK so you answered one question I had with the IDR because lake I go to sometimes has a lot of debris when it goes up and down. So did you have to use it at all? Do you know if it is a stainless steel impeller? I had to replace my plastic one on a spark since it got damaged with debris. Are there any side gates to go on it? How about the stern? Since this looks like a fairly short so how did it handle chop? Did it nose dive at all going over other boat wakes? Did you have to hold the handlebars when on cruise?
No nose diving at all, it handled great in chop and gets on plane fast! IDF is a must
would make a great fishing machine if you could add a trolling motor
damn now i want one!
Can I get one in Camo for duck hunting? Maybe NO bimini top. Just some Camo and cat tail netting over the rails. The lay down area looks like a very comfortable shooting position.
what is the length of trailer?
Could you put a trolling motor in the front ???
How is it pulling tuber(s)? and what kind of wake does it put out?(like good for jumping for wakeboards?
Thanks for like, but can you reply?
Have you used it for fishing and how was it? How did you clean the Switch afterwards please make a video for these. Thanks
Yes, was great!!!
How does it do on the golf? And on rough waters??? Plzzzzz do a video with it in the water!
Options to have a table on it?
Maybe a trolling motor up front?
Seat post for up front to fish?
Yes there is table option, not sure about trolling motor or seat post.
What are your true thoughts on the clear vinyl sides? Damage easy or have long term durability potential? Are the toons chambered or is it one open toon??? With 5 people on board does it sink down low in the water or is it buoyant???
Watercraft Journal said the toon are foam filled.
And in 3 sections
What are those two like shocks with flat pads on bottom on each side of the jet.
Trim tabs, they help stabilize the boat
I really want one of these lol
OK finally a channel that allows comments about this I love the look of it I love the performance but my concern is what about boatlifts? My family has a lake place and I don’t believe this would work on the current boatlift we have I don’t think it work at all due to where the engines are or in this case engine so what’s the deal with that? What would somebody have to get which would be another five grand
It looks like a regular ski lift would work as long as the main center toon in secure. The outer toons just rest.
Hey!! Just wanted to know. How high is it about with the trailer? Trying to get one and I’m wondering if it can fit in my garage. I know it fits length wise just need to know how high it is to see if it will clear the garage door
Something like 8 1/2 feet. Very tall.
Just curious, I live on a lake that allows electric pontoon boats only. I’m considering this one for both lake use and ocean. Question, is there space or room to attach a trolling motor? Thank you and great video
This isn’t electric
@@landenburrowes5844
I know it isn’t electric. Asking if there’s room to attach a trolling motor
I just Ordered my Switch Cruise 170 hp. Nothing at the dealerships yet so can not do walk around yet. Can you tell me if the unit I purchased has two gates or just the one on the front. Dealer was not sure either. By the way good job on the walk around video. Also I see the red and green nav lights, but does it come with the 360 white light?
One gate in front only
What does weigh boat and trailer.
Can it be wet docked?
I'm still wondering about beaching it. How much damage would be done.
We beached it a few times, it just depends where you’re beaching soft white beach sand or an area with tons of shells and rocks you have to be cautious when beaching any watercraft
Wow !!! ...
When do we get them in Australia as they just made my pontoon boat obsolete
2023 model year is the worldwide release
How are you currently storing your Switch Sport Compact? On a drive way, storage facility etc
Currently it’s at our warehouse but we will be posting a video of it sitting in a standard size garage very soon
How do you think this would handle on a river. What is the water depth sitting VS on plane?
This would perform perfect on rivers and we were able to take it in about 4 feet of water with no issue
