You need to show the complete Bimini top put down. Where does it stow? It doesn’t look like you can use the boat with the top down. Any time any one is in the boat, the top needs to be up. Can the top be removed easily?
@@vetesnikpowersports1974 That seems kind of dumb. The main point of a bimini is that they can be used like a convertable. Maybe I don't want one after all.
I love the concept but they need me for the fisherman in mind, like a live well, bait tank, rod holder storage depth finder. A gate on the front with a platform outside the railing to run jugs,less furniture up front like one couch, and lights for night fishing. Or just take this technology and install it into a v Hull 21’ boat
You can cast a pole out of any boat. Doesnt need a live well to catch fish. Use to do it with old trihulls. Throw the fish in a cooler if you're gonna keep them.
@@rubbadroid Exactly, why buy a six figure boat when you can get a Switch that could potentially create a competition sized ski wake? Here's to hoping!
Holy cow! I was skeptical al best, but they will be a game changer. I want one to compliment my pontoon. they seem like a logical transition from kids on a jet ski to tweens on a switch.
I have learned through watching other videos that the minimum length you would want your boat to be to prevent 95% of nose diving in areas with large waves is 21 feet.
Nice video of the switch in action. In all the videos I’ve seen I’ve never seen anyone do a review on the swim ladder you use to get in the boat from the water. I don’t even know if it’s in the front or the back of the boat. Is the swim ladder easy or hard to use to get out of the water especially for bigger people?
All models have the swing gate in the front and in the back. The Cruise model can be configured to have seating back there instead of access to the gate, up to you. Yes it does!
@@vetesnikpowersports1974 I haven't seen any video showing that back gate open and in the detailed photos the post (frame) go down through the floor and no hinges... any chance you have pictures or video of the rear gate opening?
I have a sea doo boat that is very rough on the water, not to mention the ‘porpoising’ at faster speeds. I’ve been on one traditional pontoon and noticed a much smoother ride. I’m curious how the ride quality is on these. The videos made me think it might ride more like my challenger 180… Can anyone speak to that characteristic? Thanks!
John, I had a 2007 Challenger 180 (that I bought new) until last year. Great little boat with almost no issues over the years. Biggest issues I had was how much it got bounced around in even moderate chop. Sitting still and even the smallest of chop would make it move. I have a SeaDoo GTX PWC that is more stable based on the S1 hull. From what I can tell this will be much more stable based on the tri-toon design. From watching even the compact it appears much better with all of the same advantages. I put my deposit down so we shall see.
Do you always have to have your hand on the throttle in order to move the boat? That's different from other pontoons that have a throttle body that is separate from the steering wheel.
Look at the (Angler Qwest 824 Catfish Edition Pontoon) and make a 100% Fishing Model like that and you will sell 1000s of them around the world. It must have a trolling motor also. Get a Pro Fisherman to design it please. Skeet Reese would be a good one to design it for you.
I was interested until I realized there's no side door to get on/off from the dock. I guess for a lot of people you'd have to buy a section that goes in front. Also, I wonder if you have to set up a boat lift differently than you would a regular pontoon.
That is a lot of water in the engine bay at the 3:00 mark! Very concerning on a brand new boat! Hopefully they work out all the kinks before releasing models to the public. Looks like a cool option between a pontoon and a jet ski though.
That’s typical of Seadoo boats. They use a carbon seal ring on the driveshaft which must be aligned perfectly in order to work properly. The jet skis have bailers that auto-drain this water but the boats do not. Since this is a new model they probably haven’t dialed in the alignment from the factory for this ring yet. This also is probably due to running the boat on the trailer which can overheat the ring if done for too long and warp it.
I just think of the informative video I could have made if I had all the sizes available to me Like how the biggest one in the smallest one handle? What are the differences? I have no idea but what I do know are the same four beats to your favorite song on the planet
With all The Removable Floor Panels All Though a Novel Idea ! I See Future Problems With Water Getting Into The Storage Areas in Fact When He Opened Up The Engine Compartment I Could Already See Water in The Bottom of The Engine Bay ! .... ???
Thanks for making this video! I have a compact sport on order! Can you tell me if the boat on the trailer will fit in my garage with bimini down or taken off if that's possible? My garage at the entrance is 9' wide, 6' 2" high, and 20' long. This is a huge advantage to having this boat if it'll fit!
Come on sea doo make a fishing model big live well not a small one and swivel seats, rod holders, tackle/rod storage and I will be on the way to order me one. Please!!!!

3:35 short clip with Bimini top down.
It stows forward in cockpit. It needs to be up to use.

love the 21' Model, it is good for family.
I can't imagine anything smaller than the 21 footer. My sister had a 16 foot pontoon and you had to balance the load otherwise it would lean too much.
If you remove the seats and one ends up in the water, does it float?
What were your impressions of the 100hp models? Will a 16’ plane out and run 20mph with its rated capacity?
Anyone know if these come std with normal boat lighting, there is a reference to an accessory catolog, very unclear.
Definitely going to swap out my old ski boat for one of these
Mold on the bottom of those pads if you don’t dry them out????
What is the top speed for 21 cruise?
So you can’t ride with the Bimini down?
I’m curious to know if you can waterski (slalom) off the back of these, and to know if the wake is flat.
I'm looking for this info as well. Impossible to find!

It would be nice to a full cover like a tent I could see myself camping on the waters for days. 👍🏾
@@Skiridr22 I think there is an optional full enclosure. Check on the website under options.
Will it still nose dive like a traditional pontoon when going through larger waves/wake?
Depends on weight distribution.
I have learned through watching other videos that the minimum length you would want your boat to be to prevent 95% of nose diving in areas with large waves is 21 feet.
On the cruise models does the higher portion of the front come off to make it the same as the sport?

I don’t even know if it’s in the front or the back of the boat. Is the swim ladder easy or hard to use to get out of the water especially for bigger people?
It slides into the swim platform in back. Judging by looks it does not look like the most beefy ladder in the world but no idea about actual strength.
Do any of the models have a swing gate in the aft of the pontoon? (backend)
Do the thicker padding for the sunbed area have the same clip in system?
Look at 1:40

Can you mount a trolling motor on the front?
What kind of speeds do these reach?
The handle bars look like they will get in the way.
Do you always have to have your hand on the throttle in order to move the boat? That's different from other pontoons that have a throttle body that is separate from the steering wheel.
@@mcwilliamsda not on the production boats, they will have hands free cruise control
In Thailand, is there a model of this boat for sale?

How do you get on the boat from a side dock?
Trip.
Which one was quicker and more fun the 13ft sport 170hp or the 18ft sport 230hp ? Great video.
13 ft sport with the 170 with 2 people

Does it have power assist stearing where it throttles up automatically and music was aggravating get rid of it
Does the switch sport 18' come from factory with two Soft Armrest with Cup Holder (269003781) and Seat Corner Backrest (LH) (295101045)?
Does it have hard points so it can be used as a tender?
That music has to go!
My god
Terrible shit
Yea terrible
I'm jamming Lol
Roger that!
is the 170 more reliable than the 230 engine?
Same engine . One has supercharger one is not supercharged.
@@MR.TOYBOX thanks, than is the 230 supercharged any less reliable or possibly more maintinance?
Not really enough to talk about.
@@jeepc4x4 230hp has a supercharger. Less output than the 300hp and runs on 87 octane.
How does one get to go to a demo day?
Dealer Demo Day
a center console version on the 21 would get more fisherman on board
Those 13 fters look like a bucking bronco compared to the longer toons.
Yes
How much is the price If you think in Thai money

Glad I was not the only one who saw this. Was sort of worrying for someone new to boating looking for a simple solution for my family.
good eye! didnt notice that myself. Something that will need to be questioned

This also is probably due to running the boat on the trailer which can overheat the ring if done for too long and warp it.
It’s a sea doo totally normal for a jet…
Did you happen to ask seadoo why they didn't put the optional swimdeck on there demo compact sport ?
13 footer looks like it would be sketchy in the bigger waves/rollers on the big lakes where there would be a lot of boat traffic
Some other video I watched said its shouldn't be used anywhere where the waves and swells exceed 1 foot.
Would be nice to hear the engine without the horrid music. Such a waste of a review.
Can they be wet docked?
My dealer says no. You will need a lift.
Bummer that the 21' has seats for 12+ but is only rated for 9 passengers.
Agree. I wish it was rated for more passengers too. Park rangers here are strict about adhering to the rated passenger count.
The 10th person can go buy there own seadoo switch compact model. 😂
Rated on 160lb person. So realistically 7 or 8 people.
Is that 9 people at 250lbs each person.
@@chadwiersma1180 ^^
Where I live a lot of the areas to boat do not allow gas engines. Is there a electric motor option?
Eventually!! That is rumor! You heard it here first
No, we are several years away from electric boats under $30k that will achieve this speed and range. The batteries are just still too expensive.
@@dereknichols3571 and heavy!
I wish it had retractable foils 😉 Battery in marine just not quite there yet.. maybe with foils . At least these take 87 octane
Where do you live? U.k.?
Never put the anchor in first with the rope on top……that’s counter productive. Look at any auto anchor.
I just think of the informative video I could have made if I had all the sizes available to me Like how the biggest one in the smallest one handle? What are the differences? I have no idea but what I do know are the same four beats to your favorite song on the planet
Wow!!! Super impressed
these are sick! What lake is this?
Delavan Lake in Wisconsin!
... they need a foiling kit... 🤔😉
No one thought to bring a GPS or use their phone to get some speed runs??
Hi any one know 21’ Sea Doo switch on trailer hight and length. Top down did fit thru 8’ high Garage doors. To the 24’X24’ garage. Thanks
They are all 8.5 feet on the trailer, with Bimini top down.
With all The Removable Floor Panels All Though a Novel Idea ! I See Future Problems With Water Getting Into The Storage Areas in Fact When He Opened Up The Engine Compartment I Could Already See Water in The Bottom of The Engine Bay ! .... ???
That's what bilge pumps are for.
Music was cool for about ten seconds
Nice looking but good luck working on this boat if something breaks down and you know it will 🤦🏻
Jfc the music
UGH nix that annoying music and the demo would be better.
Thanks for making this video! I have a compact sport on order! Can you tell me if the boat on the trailer will fit in my garage with bimini down or taken off if that's possible? My garage at the entrance is 9' wide, 6' 2" high, and 20' long. This is a huge advantage to having this boat if it'll fit!
lots and lots of plastic! In 10 years is it going melt away from the uv rays?
I like find out price 13'
Around $26,500 for the compact sport
Nobody wants the music. Reupload the video without it please.
Impressed with the low speed maneuvering. Annoyed that on their website I can't get a bimini top on the base model.
Good for lake, don’t think I’d take it on ocean
Are you required to wear life vests while driving it?
Depends on your state
Looks like it was made with a 3d printer.
lol
Come on sea doo make a fishing model big live well not a small one and swivel seats, rod holders, tackle/rod storage and I will be on the way to order me one. Please!!!!
I did see rod holders in the options. Maybe swivel seats or a center console is coming soon??
Good video, but that music is UNBEARABLE.
Alot of videos are more into all the accessories you can buy but hardly demo the boat.
Turn the music off!!!
Great video. Music Aweful…
Kill the music
haha
HORRIBLE MUSIC!
Please remove music
Another video destroyed by guitar noise
Remove this horrible music please.
these guys are in socks? really?
Didn't wanna wear our dirty shoes on the new boats ;)
Why all the horrible music?
amateur your a amateur its not called rope...its called line
Turn down the music
Do they use a carbon seal in these?
