These new ones do offer so many ways to have them set up and also don't have the engines in the way at the back so you get even more space. The weight to power on them is great as well so you are right you are winning there as well. hey money always plays a factor so to cost less and get more options you are winning on the deal. Do let me know if you get one and what you think! Cheers!
Hey Jacob! thank you so much! I agree sadly we did not have much time for me to really get to poke around on them but I Hope to get more info and might even have one for next year so we can make these types of videos! Cheers!
Yes, there was a forward dock during this demo. I will say that all of us still boarded it from the side was no issue stepping over the rail. But Yes I do hope the production ones has that door near the back.
It’s just a cheap lighter weight shell around the steering column. The boat itself is super sturdy like a tank . Basically it’s a plastic shroud plus camera doubles the effect .
Yes I asked them about that and for the production models they will be even more secure but really its not that bad even now and yes the camera does not help. When Driving it I did not even notice. Thanks for checking out the video and for reaching out all the best Cheers!
That is right is is just a shell but they said they will be making it even better in the production run. But yes the rest of it is super strong and stable for sure!
That is right there were none. Now that was the demo unit and I am hearing that there might be a side door near the back but can not confirm that yet but I am checking out a production model tomorrow so will be able to see what they have done.
Hey thanks so much ya it has done crazy good! Checked your your page great stuff look way better on that RXT X 300 LOL We need to try and get out for a rip some time always great to meet other riders and even better ones that film!
Under extreme conditions I am sure it can just like any other boat but with the amount of foam and other design features It would have to be something crazy to send it to the bottom. Also as it is polytech and not fiberglass there is less weight so floats better. Thanks for checking out the video and for reaching out all the best Cheers!
So I now have the Switch Sport 13FT 170 HP unit and with 4 adults on it we were up around 60 KPH The top that I have hit was 70 KPH so not sure how much more there is past that but still not bad at all. Thanks for checking out the video and for reaching out if you have any other questions just let me know. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this video Mark because I was actually thinking about one of these for the cottage! It would be perfect I think. In your opinion would it go slow enough to troll for fishing?
Hey Joe! Ya happy you like the video and gave you some info on it. It would be perfect for the cottage for sure. Of yes you can troll for sure it even has the speed controls like the other sea doo's to set it from 1 km/h to like 15 kp/h and not have to hold the trigger. I am looking at getting one just so I can fish off of it with way more room that just sitting on my sea doo! Let me know if you look at getting one for sure and thanks for checking out the video Cheers!
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!
Hello Spencer! Nice that is the one that I have on order as well. I can tell you that you are going to have the same issue that I am looking at and that is the height. So the compact on the trailer is 16' long so good there and 7.8' wide so that will work. The height on the trailer is 8.2' and that's where it fails as my height is only 7' to get in. Now I am not sure if that is with the Bimini on or off. Even with it off might only get you a foot more room. So to be safe until I can see it on my driveway I just put the full cover for it in case I need to keep it outside for a bit. Hope that helps and I will try to update once I get it in person and see if it fits. Thanks again for checking out the video and for reaching out all the best and let me know when you get yours and what you think Cheers!
Hello Dan! This is the one I would get for what you are looking to do. SWITCH SPORT 18 - 230 HP I have been on it and it has the power and the comfort so it would do a great job.
To be honest I am not sitting on the floor of a boat. That is a stupid idea. I LOVE my RXT 300. LOVE it has been flawless. Wouldn't change anything on it. These pontoons I'm not so sold on. I don't want handle bars on a boat. The idea of a ski mated to a pontoon I like just not crazy about the plastic everything.
Hey Norman! I do agree with you on that not my favorite part for sure. Yes if you love the RXT then this definitely will not be for you at all in any way lol I will say if you are a family and want to get out there then these are great and the price point vs a normal pontoon is crazy good but the end it is a family boat not something to go ripping the lake with for sure. I get you about the handle bars but trust me as someone that rides a sea doo they are so great on these. The control and feel is so nice but do wish it had cruise control for sure. The said the way things are going it will soon all be plastic LOL Spark, All the GTI and next I bet will be the GTX lol any ways thanks for checking out the video and keep ripping on that RTX !! it is a crazy good unit Cheers!
They are great for sure and some people will not like them, and if you want to just rip on the water then these will just not be for you, and that's cool as long as we all out there having a great time right!
When I did this video there was some good chop on the water and it handled it great. I have heard from people in Florida that have been on them that it is good in bigger water as well. But I would say they are more for lakes and can handle a bit more if needed. But hope to do an more in depth video this year when they are up here and see what they really can do. Hope that helps and thanks for reaching out all the best Cheers!
Hey Christian that is great congrats on that I am sure you will have a great time with it! That was out on Lake Simcoe. Let me know when you get it and what you think Cheers!
What can you tell us about the passenger capacity? I'd like to be able to seat at least nine, but most of the time more like five. I'm leaning towards the mid sized for the agility and speed, but kind of like a dining room table, there are times when you'll need to seat more than normal. Thanks!
@@sanchogonzalez 5 compact . 7 18ft 9 on the 21ft . It’s not really a pontoon. . More is a hybrid. . Have to spend 100k to get a pontoon that rides like the switch .
The compact max 5 but best 3 to 4. The mid size 5 to 7 is good but get the 270. hp unit and then 9 is the max on the larger size but that only comes with the 270 hp so it works. For what you are looking to do I would go with the mid with the 270 hp and I think you can add the table after on that one. Hope that helps thanks for checking out the video and for reaching out all the best Cheers!
We were told at the time that the compact do not come with a swim platform but can be added on. But then I saw that on the 170 model on like it shows it so not fully sure but I will be looking into it as I would want it on mine for sure!
@@MarkForrestAdventures Confused even more today. So on seadoos website were you can build your boat it let me in the past add the swimdeck to the compact sport for 599.00 and it added it in 3d so you could actually see the platform on the boat. They removed that option from the online builder on the sport compact. Now it doesnt even have the swimplatform as an option to add for 599.00. Sea doo really does need to answer this question.. There are a ton of people who swear they added the platfrom to the compact sport when they ordered it . But now it not only says on page 32 in the switch catalog the swim deck only fits the 16 and 19ft boat. And now that they removed the option online as well its very concerning. I mean there has to be a reason and we deserve to no. My dealer put in a ticket asking several questions and no answer as of yet. I emailed seadoo and they tell me to call my dealer. If it cant be added for safety or boat operation or weight distribution etc I am going to be sad.
Ok so I have looked into this a bit more and I think I know why they have removed it on the compact. So the reasons that I am hearing has a few things to it. The first is with out the swim platform on the compact it would still fall under the definition as a PWC and as such would have different insurance needs and things needed by the coast guard and other Gov things. As soon as you add the back deck it adds 2 feet and puts it at 15 feet and as such is now considered a boat and has different laws and insurance and all the crap you then need to have on a boat. Also if you put it on, your docking fees change, your lock fees change as you are now 15 feet as well as other things they charge for a boat vs a PWC. I am sure that the dealer can still install it you just need to know it changes a lot of the paperwork for just a swim platform, so is that really worth it when you can still get in with the ladder. For me I would like it but like when I go to use a dock slip or go through a lock and they now charge me as a boat and not a PWC it adds up. Our locks up here it's like $11 for a PWC and then if the swim platform was on becomes $15 so that can really add up over a summer. Now these are just things that I have heard and what I believe the reason you don't see it on the compact any more as a standard option as they want one of the 3 to fall into that PWC category. But again I am sure you will be able to add on if you want. Hope that helps let me know what you think. Cheers!
@@MarkForrestAdventures makes sense . However the swim platform was never standard on the compact sport . It was an option the online configurator. You could add it for 599.00 . Yesterday they removed the ability to add the swim deck as an option for the compact sport on there online configurator . It’s gone . My guess is they realized if it was installed before you get it registered or insured it could cause an issue in some states that are picky and might break out the tape measure before registration. Not the case in Alabama . Unless it causes the boat to not perform safely I will add it after it’s registered. Great points . We might be closer to solving this mystery . I was about to get scooby doo involved. . The official dog of sea doo.
I think you are right with it being installed before registering it could cause some paper work issues and cost. I can tell you that no it does effect the boats performance or safety at all. I think I might add it to mine after the fact but will see if I really do need it first other wise that's $600 worth of gas right there LOL
Don't really know yet will be testing this out when I get mine But like I can get 170 to 180 KM so 105 to 110 Miles on the GTX and that has a 60 L or 16 Gallon tank and the Switch has a 102 L or 27 Gallon tank so I would guess around 260 KM so 161 Miles but again not fully sure about that will be testing it for sure! thanks for the question and for reaching out and checking out the video all the best Cheers!
Hey Donnie! thanks so much for checking the video out! They are 4 stroke engines and one of the best ones from Rotax. Let me know if you have any other questions all the best cheers!
Yes, I think you could I have seen video of them in some good waves but I am sure it is not smooth. Best to only use in light chop I would think. Cheers!
From What I am hearing this first run is completely sold out in North America for the start of next year. They may put more out in the spring if they can really get on top of this first order run but nothing confirmed.
Hiiii 👋🏽 We really employed your video on the new Seadoo Switch. Hoping I can ask you a question about it. We’re a small family of four and we are now really considering preordering one; we were previously looking into a hurricane 185 sundeck but this really grabbed our attention. We’re a little concerned about water coming over the bow on the 18… did you experience that while riding on it? We life in Florida and would predominantly be using it in local lakes and the gulf. Just wondering if we can get your input. Thank you so much 👋🏽
Hello Mireya! Thank you so much! So there is the 16 that with the swim platform makes it an 18 and that can ride 5 to 7 people. I can tell you there there was no issues with water coming over the front when we were out on it at both slow speed and full speed. We had some wind so the odd time the spray from a wave would come over the side but you would get that in any boat. This would be great for lake and what you are looking to do with it. Plus you get so much more deck space that that hurricane you were looking at and can set it up how ever you need. I was checking about that water over the front as well and can say saw nothing that put me off and I am ordering one now as they are very cool. Hope that helps and if you have any other questions just let me know. Thanks for watching and for reaching out Cheers!
Great video! Was this a dealer event or a public demo day? I would love to get out and try the new switch but had not heard of any demo opportunities for the public
Thank you so much Michael! This was a dealer event that I was able to join. I think the only other events they were doing was for people that had pre ordered them got to come out for a hour to see them and take them out. Maybe in the spring they might do more of a public event to get people ready to order the next drop of them as this drop is fully sold out. Hope that helps and again thanks for checking out the video and reaching out all the best Cheers!
That was the one thing I was really trying to see and in the video you can see I hit some wake and it did quite well I was very happy with it and even just normal chop it was nice. The chair is so nice to have I really enjoyed that made the ride very nice.
Don't really know yet will be testing this out when I get mine But like I can get 170 to 180 KM so 105 to 110 Miles on the GTX and that has a 60 L or 16 Gallon tank and the Switch has a 102 L or 27 Gallon tank so I would guess around 260 KM so 161 Miles but again not fully sure about that will be testing it for sure! thanks for the question and for reaching out and checking out the video all the best Cheers!
Truly I like the compact 170 the best! got both the sea doo feel and the extra space to be able to move around. The 18 was good but acted more like a boat and not the best on corners or to get on plan but was nice and stable once there. The 21 is just big and good to go slow with a lot of people but not sure about it unless it's for a big family. I liked the compact so much that I hope to be getting one next year to add the the fleet lol!
Hey Chris! I did not ask that question but I would say yes. It is the same hull as a GTI so has that polytech hull that is great for not scratching and with the anchor right there at the front real easy to put that out onto the beach. That would be my plan pull right up to a beach and step right off. Of course it is a jet boat so you have to be carful where you start and stop it so you dont suck stuff up but other wise should be all good. Thanks for checking out the video and reaching out hope this helps all the best Cheers!
Need to make a grill for the switch…that would be awesome!!!
Oh ya that would be nice for sure! I bet they will have something for next year lol
We have a 22 foot tritoon. I am thinking about selling it and getting this. It weighs 2500 pounds less and has all the benefits and it is cheaper.
These new ones do offer so many ways to have them set up and also don't have the engines in the way at the back so you get even more space. The weight to power on them is great as well so you are right you are winning there as well. hey money always plays a factor so to cost less and get more options you are winning on the deal. Do let me know if you get one and what you think! Cheers!
The twins on the boat at 4:18 ... everyone on the dock checking it out too!! 😂👍🏼👍🏼
LOL ya I saw that as well we were all joking about the timing of that one going past!
Great video! Would love to see more of them with the switch and all of the features and options.
Hey Jacob! thank you so much! I agree sadly we did not have much time for me to really get to poke around on them but I Hope to get more info and might even have one for next year so we can make these types of videos! Cheers!
And if you noticed they had a forward dock to board, thats very rare at most ramps.
Yes, there was a forward dock during this demo. I will say that all of us still boarded it from the side was no issue stepping over the rail. But Yes I do hope the production ones has that door near the back.
Awesome video, buddy! Great shots and that looks so enjoyable.
Thanks so much buddy! Ya that is what I hope to get you out on this year!
Love watching your videos. Can't wait for my special feature! haha
Thank you so much Sara! yes that is going to be a fun ride looking forward to it !!
That driver consul was shaking. Hope it holds up
It’s just a cheap lighter weight shell around the steering column. The boat itself is super sturdy like a tank . Basically it’s a plastic shroud plus camera doubles the effect .
Yes I asked them about that and for the production models they will be even more secure but really its not that bad even now and yes the camera does not help. When Driving it I did not even notice. Thanks for checking out the video and for reaching out all the best Cheers!
That is right is is just a shell but they said they will be making it even better in the production run. But yes the rest of it is super strong and stable for sure!
If you look real close there are no side doors for getting on this boat from a dock. Unless you jump over the side wallonto the deck.
That is right there were none. Now that was the demo unit and I am hearing that there might be a side door near the back but can not confirm that yet but I am checking out a production model tomorrow so will be able to see what they have done.
Wow, this video really got a lot of views quick! Well done, Mark!
Hey thanks so much ya it has done crazy good! Checked your your page great stuff look way better on that RXT X 300 LOL We need to try and get out for a rip some time always great to meet other riders and even better ones that film!
Can a SeaDoo Switch 13 sport compact sink under extreme condition?
Under extreme conditions I am sure it can just like any other boat but with the amount of foam and other design features It would have to be something crazy to send it to the bottom. Also as it is polytech and not fiberglass there is less weight so floats better. Thanks for checking out the video and for reaching out all the best Cheers!
What was your top speed and how many adults on the boat?
So I now have the Switch Sport 13FT 170 HP unit and with 4 adults on it we were up around 60 KPH The top that I have hit was 70 KPH so not sure how much more there is past that but still not bad at all. Thanks for checking out the video and for reaching out if you have any other questions just let me know. Cheers!

how many miles can you get just going cruising speed?
Don't really know yet will be testing this out when I get mine But like I can get 170 to 180 KM so 105 to 110 Miles on the GTX and that has a 60 L or 16 Gallon tank and the Switch has a 102 L or 27 Gallon tank so I would guess around 260 KM so 161 Miles but again not fully sure about that will be testing it for sure! thanks for the question and for reaching out and checking out the video all the best Cheers!
Thank you for posting this. I am sure you have answered this question before, so forgive me asking again. Are these 2-stroke or 4-stroke engines?
All modern Sea-Doo engines are 4-stroke.
Hey Donnie! thanks so much for checking the video out! They are 4 stroke engines and one of the best ones from Rotax. Let me know if you have any other questions all the best cheers!
Can I take it in the Gulf and not die?
Yes, I think you could I have seen video of them in some good waves but I am sure it is not smooth. Best to only use in light chop I would think. Cheers!
Anyone know of a dealer in Texas taking preorders? I can't seem to find anyone...
From What I am hearing this first run is completely sold out in North America for the start of next year. They may put more out in the spring if they can really get on top of this first order run but nothing confirmed.

How much water does it draw.
Hello Dutch here is the break down of what they draft. The Compact is 13.6" The 18 ft one is 18.7" and the 21 ft is 19.3" Hope that helps! Cheers!
Lots of wind in the face.
Like that stills get that feeling like on a sea doo of being out there and open to the water.
those look sweet, what lake is that
Oh ya I can not wait to get out and explore with one. That was filmed on Lake Simcoe just near Friday Harbor.
Great video! Was this a dealer event or a public demo day? I would love to get out and try the new switch but had not heard of any demo opportunities for the public
Thank you so much Michael! This was a dealer event that I was able to join. I think the only other events they were doing was for people that had pre ordered them got to come out for a hour to see them and take them out. Maybe in the spring they might do more of a public event to get people ready to order the next drop of them as this drop is fully sold out. Hope that helps and again thanks for checking out the video and reaching out all the best Cheers!
How was it in waves vs your gtx 155? Is it more comfortable?
That was the one thing I was really trying to see and in the video you can see I hit some wake and it did quite well I was very happy with it and even just normal chop it was nice. The chair is so nice to have I really enjoyed that made the ride very nice.
3 commercials in the first 1:27 minutes. Come on RUclips
Hey Tom, So sorry about that I hate when RUclips does that really messes up the video. But I do thank you for checking it out all the best Cheers!
What kind of average range on a full tank of gas?
Don't really know yet will be testing this out when I get mine But like I can get 170 to 180 KM so 105 to 110 Miles on the GTX and that has a 60 L or 16 Gallon tank and the Switch has a 102 L or 27 Gallon tank so I would guess around 260 KM so 161 Miles but again not fully sure about that will be testing it for sure! thanks for the question and for reaching out and checking out the video all the best Cheers!
Which one did you enjoy more the compact 170 or the 230 18 ft sport ?
Truly I like the compact 170 the best! got both the sea doo feel and the extra space to be able to move around. The 18 was good but acted more like a boat and not the best on corners or to get on plan but was nice and stable once there. The 21 is just big and good to go slow with a lot of people but not sure about it unless it's for a big family. I liked the compact so much that I hope to be getting one next year to add the the fleet lol!
what's the weight of these on the trailer?
Hello John, The dry weight of the compact one is 1783 LBS
And for the 18 foot it is 2193 LBS and the 21 foot is 2426 LBS
What the price range..???
from like 30K to 50K depending on what extras you would like to add to them. But way better than 90k to 140k for a normal boat for sure!
Can you safely beach these models
Hey Chris! I did not ask that question but I would say yes. It is the same hull as a GTI so has that polytech hull that is great for not scratching and with the anchor right there at the front real easy to put that out onto the beach. That would be my plan pull right up to a beach and step right off. Of course it is a jet boat so you have to be carful where you start and stop it so you dont suck stuff up but other wise should be all good. Thanks for checking out the video and reaching out hope this helps all the best Cheers!
@@MarkForrestAdventures Really appreciate you get back to me!
Anytime Chris Cheers!
What day was this?
This past Monday.
@@MarkForrestAdventures Thank you! Very cool video!
No problem Thank you for checking it out and reaching out all the best Cheers!
Sitting on the floor riding at 30 mph. No thanks
Hey Martin! have to agree but for kids it would be a blast for sure and I think that is what they are aiming for with that part.
