    i have no desire to buy a boat, a seadoo or seadoo boat. but for some reason i watched this whole thing and i have to say it is one of the best reviews/how to's ive seen on here. so much was covered at a good pace, easy to follow along, excellent visuals and camera work. if i ever decide to get a boat it may be this one only becuase i know feel like an expert and could go to a showroom and know what was going on. i dont even know what happened with this last 38 minutes, but i aint mad.

Its a rare gift honestly. If I ever need a boat in this class I'm 100% looking at this one simply because of this review. I work in advertising & this review is just good, the sort of thing I wish my clients would give me as creative. Part of why I am geeked out about it when most are just like, meh, its a boat review lol just a lot of respect for a random company on the tubes for doing a great job.

    JBP, without a doubt the best initial overview of the boat. I own a 21’ cruise 230 (July 2022). While I love the boat and I’m a 4X SeaDoo owner I highly recommend an extended warranty for this boat. I’m in the process of SeaDoo replacing the engine (original engine had 12 hours) due to it making oil from the #2 cylinder. It has been beyond frustrating working with BRP during the testing, evaluation, and finally getting a new engine but I do still love the boat for the family. For any potential future buyers get that extended warranty!

      It's a boat. So you can expect to be shelling out a LOT of money to keep it running. I had a 28 foot cruiser for 5 years and looked at the cost of docking, insurance, upkeep, problems, ect and decided I could be taking some nice vacations every year for just what the annual cost was and I had NO payment on the boat. I can't even imagine what insurance will cost for a 28 foot boat now with all the hurricanes and especially with what happened in Florida last year. You know they will pass the cost on to everyone. We all know that saying, happy when you get it but happier when you get rid of it :)

      @@michaelruiz995 10 years ago docking was 4 grand a year, insurance was 700 bucks, a year, then if you had an engine problem, 500 bucks, gas who knows. I would highly suggest BEFORE you by, look at what boat you like then get insurance quotes. I hear boat insurance is now out of sight because of the hurricanes. Everyone pays, even if you aren't in a hurricane area. Look at what docking fees are unless you are going to trailer it, but make sure you can get to a boat launch that isn't full by 8am. It will all depend on where you live. Do your homework.

    Very nice overview. In regards to the strap holding down the bimini top while its lying flat....you don't need to rotate the strap. Instead, have the strap hanging freely before lying the bimini down and then run the strap through the outside hole. Now you can run the strap through the connector and have the velco connection on the inside of the boat.

    Your title was not click bait, this is the most in-depth review of the Switch I've seen and I learned about many features that I didn't even know existed. I've never heard your docking saying before but now that I have I'll neve forget it. I was concerned about the throttle controls and if maneuverability were going to be an issue but it appears this thing can do a complete 360 in it's own length, something no other boat that I've ever had could. Wish the video included a section about actually being on the water with it. Curious to see how it handles in a moderate chop and if you think the engine you selected is sufficent for pulling a tube or handling the weight of 6 or 7 people. Other than this, great video and thanks for taking the time to do it.

    • @JetBoatPilot
      @JetBoatPilot  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think its going to tow a tube very well. Also the outer pontoons take on water while in the water so they get heavier and provide stability and better ride quality. In the chop it feels like a much bigger heavier boat.

    This is a pretty in depth review on this model, showing the features and things that you may want to see before buying of your interested. I am a bit surprised to find that this doesn't come standard with a battery disconnect switch, its a "Switch" without the switch. This is a pretty important detail that I'm glad to see you mentioned. After sitting for only a few weeks, it would be pretty inconvenient and agitate me to finally get out back on open water and have to wait hours for a decent charge to get the thing started. To the manufacturer, why are you not putting a disconnect standard in these? Thanks for showing us all these features and options you have in this model!

    Excellent review and thanks for reminding people about venting the engine. It might sound obvious, but human error is a thing. Years ago, I was on a buddy's 27 foot boat. He normally filled up at the gas station about 30 mins from the boat slip. On this one particular day, he filled up at the dock and forgot to run the vent fan. The explosion and fire had the restaurant patrons fleeing. A huge 80lb cooler sitting over the engine hatch shot 30 feet straight up into the sky. There were 6 of us in the boat and luckily there were no injuries and the fire was quickly put out by the fire extinguishers that he kept on board. He had that boat for over 3 years before this happened. He knew about venting, but a simple change in habit and some other minor distractions was enough to cause several thousand dollars of damage.

    Yes I agree, the model I was referencing from the early 90's was more of a rescue/utility boat. As a side note the first sit on SeaDoo's came out in 1965 or 1966. The first ones I ever saw were on the cover of National Geographic magazine when they did an article on the new Lake Powell in Az. that had just opened up. I believe that SeaDoo was the first recreational "Jet Ski" that was ever made. I wanted one the minute I saw that magazine cover and about 15 years later in I believe 1987 they started making them again. I bought mine in 1988.

    I was at my SeaDoo dealer today, questioning where the sand and debris go that fall through all the crevices and slots in the deck. It all drains down to one or the other of the outers hulls. SeaDoo recommends flushing the outer hulls yearly. The center hull remains sealed from any debris. Also, the outer hulls are built to partially fill with water when the boat is at rest, and drain out as the boat accelerates. This supposedly increases stability at rest or slow speed. The outer hulls are composed of 3 independent sections, and any one of the can be replaced individually if damaged.

    I found this video eyery useful and fully informative. We owned a Seadoo Speedster 240 HP. We loved the boat. However, we soon learned the seat cushions were built to protect the knees while forgetting about the tailbone. The hard fiberglass seat was like a open clamshell and there was less than 2" of form under out tailbones. Whenever we hit a wave, we killed our tailbones and we still have trouble with them today. Eventually, I learned by removing the seat cushion and spinning it 180 degree we were able to drive in comfortably.. the end of pain! The knee area had 6" of foam and it was so comfortable after the mod. The seats on the switch appear to be similar. Is the ride painless when you hit waves?
    In general, I find all the details to be too much when trying to go out and have fun. If you forget or someone unsnaps anything, it could be end of potentially fun day. IMHO The the top can't be fully deployed while on the water traveling at speed i.e. it is useless!

    • @JetBoatPilot

    Cruise Control should work without regard to break-in.
    Straps can indeed be strapped with the buckle on the inside, you weren't going through the same path that you did when buckle was on outside. BUT I think that buckle on the outside is better because you can release the velcro before you get on the boat and then raise the bimini instead of crawling under it.

      SeaDoo tends to spend a great deal of time on aesthetics and form. They also make a really high performance PWC as well. There has been a decades long argument over who's got the more reliable tough dependable ski, the Sea-Doo or the Yamaha. In my experience Sea-Doo has been the more innovative forward thinking and even risk taking brand. The went for it big with this new Pontoon. Yamaha tends to be more conservative and don't innovate quite to the extreme like Sea-Doo. But don't think that Yamaha is not an innovative company. They too make some really cutting edge stuff. Check out their new Drive X technology on the flagship 275SDX. It's pretty impressive.
