Many have been wondering how far would they be able to go with a Sea-Doo Switch. I decided to put it to the test and see how far the 21ft 170hp Switch would go. Hopefully this can give you an idea for your future travels, always carry extra fuel if you are unsure about the range of any watercraft you will be driving.

Can you post a video of the switch hitting waves? It gets choppy in south Florida.

@danielduarte4609 Год назад

I was thinking precisely that. Biscayne bay gets choppy in the summer weekend afternoons. I don’t think this kind of boat would be ideal for those waves.

@rashick11 Год назад

@@danielduarte4609 there are several videos of these things in chop to large waves. They seem to do fine but we have never had ours in more than 1 ft chop so no real personal experience.

@matthewdeaton7961 Год назад

Literally bought a switch 230 because of your channel. After owning multiple bass boats, pontoons and a ski boat, the switch wins. It's big enough for friends, big enough for camping, small enough to tow with a cheap truck and powerful enough to tow tubes and be fun to drive. All for under 50k. Exactly what I needed. Thank you! Traded in three boats after watching your videos for this thing and could not be happier.

7600 RPMs at 30. Seems like the engine will always be taxed in the switch.

@garethb1968 2 года назад

That’s shocking 102ltr of fuel to go 67.4 miles a ski would do that on 50 ltr or a bit more , we do litres in the uk by the way , 102ltrs x £1.80p =£183.60p

I think it would be difficult to add gas while out on the water. The fuel inlet is located between the drivers console and side skirting (seen here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0mrAzm73Y80.html). Trying to get your portable tank to that inlet would be a challenge.

Looked like Alvean had trim in the middle and nice cruising speed of 30 with some slower speeds occasionally.

@AlveanAzurin 2 года назад

It’s kinda hard to calculate based on how many hours because some boaters just drop anchor on the lake or go to hang out on sandbars. So if that’s the case one full tank can last days to weeks.
