I would like to see this blast out of Haulover Inlet and see how it responds.

I really like this thing, it is so versatile. Fishing, tubing, cruising, whatever. And considering what pontoon boats go for and the engine costs... this is a really nice price point.

The review I've been looking for. Hit all the points I was curious about. Great video.

We are picking up our 21' Cruise 230 this weekend. Super excited. Thanks for the full review.

Love your videos like this. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to do this

Excellent innovation by Sea Doo! Really looking after the recreation community with the jet propulsion system and the modular seating. Excited to try one out!

Sea Doo is the Apple iPhone of the water sports industry!

Excellent presentation. I looked out of curiosity but your voice, method of presentation and the enthusiasm in the tone of your voice has me interested. Well done.

Finally a great review!!!

I'm so getting it next year, it's so versatile it's like owning 3 boats.

love it. great maneuverability

First! Great video, with a the right vibe for this thing!

Great entry level fun for a young family.

Would love to see a duck hubting special edition. Make it camo with higher sides for attaching vegetation and some kind of flip back top cover with bench seats. Could make a cool duck boat.

The SxS verision of a Sea Doo, well done!

Great video!

This looks fun and versatile, I would hope the price simmers down a bit as supply increases. Everything has its pros and cons, it’s about finding what fits your style best. Sure plastic is more fragile, but can be formed for better manoeuvring than the traditional logs. I’d like to see under the deck how everything’s attached, and if there’s some strength/stress support. I would think with the higher HP and somewhat light weight that it planes quick and “hopefully” handles chop well. With the ability to move chairs and benches around the deck, I can understand the lack of flooring options that some are complaining about. I mean… carpet doesn’t belong on a boat anyways, it’s only good for catching sand, mold, and fishhooks… but I’m curious how “non slip” the current deck is. In due time I hope they catch up with other options like, pedestal tables and bbq’s, lighting, sound system, seating upgrades etc. And maybe even add a sport-fish version with livewell, rod holders, swivel pedestal seats etc. I can’t imagine these are great on fuel, but what boat with enough power is? Every boat costs to fuel and maintain… hell, that’s what BOAT stands for: Bring Out Another Thousand. I’m near a lot of wide open shallow salt water… and something like this definitely has my attention. Thanks for the review!

That's awesome!

To add a little regarding the 3 sizes, each one, adding on a 3' section. - the 13 has no swim platform. The 18 is really a 16 with a 2' swim platform, and the 21 is really a 19 with a 2' swim platform. A swim platform could be added to the 13, (making it a 15) by buying the parts and installing it yourself. SeaDoo, according to Watercraft Journal, won't sell it that way because if it is over 13' it requires more mandated features (emissions? I can't remember specifically what he said) and would jack the cost up.

Looking forward to it, have one ordered. 18' Cruise model. Wanted it last year, but they sold out SUPER quick, spent the summer on a Fish Pro Trophy instead, which was a complete hoot. My dog isn't a fan though, so the Switch should be an improvement there! Seems like it could be a ton of fun.

I took delivery of a 2024 switch exactly like this one. I only have 3 hours on it. It's still slow..😢😢 I can't wait to take it out tomorrow morning and break her in!!!! And part of the reason I bought this particular model is because of videos like this one...

I’d rock one

Awesome review, and very helpful on giving the basic overview!👍

Dude the versatility and ease of putting that thing into water for either cruising or fishing would be money

Great job guys..HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE ✌️

I have taken my 2022 Sea Doo Switch Cruise 21footer up to 53 mph on the lake with 3 adult males and 3 teenagers and also got it up to 50 mph with 5 adults and 2 teenagers and 2 dogs and we have a blast!!! 💯 Oh yah, it's the 230 supercharged motor tho 💨💨💨💨

good video thanks, going to go look at one 🤠

Awesome!!!!

I want a 400HP version.

45MPH! First time I’ve seen that. How many hours were on this boat? Great video, nice touch on adding the Canadian currency and km/h.

I remember when SUVs first came out and they were for people that needed the practicality of a larger vehicle but buying a Mom's Minivan was out of the question! I'm looking for a smaller fishing boat, I do mostly lakes but have properties on the FL coast too, so this seems like the cool toy! Seems like SeaDoo thought of everything and evolved with the times too. The only thing I could think of adding is a bait live well, and maybe spot lock but those can be added on from other manufacturers.

This looks good to me. You can probably take it up a river too - plastic hull / jet drive flat bottom looks like it planes really high too.. Thinking of buying one. looks great for a over all boat for everything. I wonder if I can tow it with my jeep (I do have a pickup also but just wondering on how it is to tow).

That would be the most badass fishing rig for real.

Awesome !

I like the jet idea for safety with kids and dogs swimming around. You handled getting that boat on the trailer really well for having some side current to deal with. If it were me I'd have sent the kids into the water to line it up.

Haulover!

If you could buy that boat as testsd for 30k. Id have one. But for 45k. There are a ton of other options especially in the used boat market. I thinknthe 13ft version will be a big seller. Cause its basically a big jet ski and i could see it being fun to jump around on. But tgese bigger models are priced up there with other quality boats that offer real comfort and utility

Awesome review Luke Combs.

As I read these comments I see people who rather than admire the Sea Doo Switch for having the speed &maneuverability of a pwc combined with the capacity and stability of a tritoon (or pontoon), criticize it because it doesn't also have the looks of a traditional boat, the durability of Old Ironsides, and the price of a bass boat.

Our 21/230 Switch Cruse tops out at 43. We posted a few runs at 42 on You tube.

Sea doo is so innovative

I love seeing all the ole timers complaining about it and stating they'd be embarrassed being seen on it 😅 meanwhile the rest of us see the potential for actual fun watersports at the lake! And people saying it's slow? 45mph in the water is not slow. Sure it'll be slower loaded up and with the average family of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids... But it'll be plenty fast. This is not in the same market as an antiquated pontoon. Many of us have never even considered a pontoon until THIS The smaller ones specifically are not huge party pontoons, so why the comparison from the nay sayers? Because they're haters hahahaha

Looks awesome! can you get a bigger shade canopy?

Dash from my defender hd5. Fast torqueee, fun factor is top of the line. Efficient 95 octane aircraft motor. Send more to panama, showroom is awsome, dealer comes to my house. Can am, BRP is taking over . Take that yamakuki

Great video. I am looking at the 13' model. Do you have an opinion on pro's and con's on the 13' model as opposed to the bigger ones?

Canada is nicer than I thought for February!!

I want one

Looks really easy to operate

Great video. First glance I thought Seth Rogen was testing it out.

This thing is so cool! Take my money! Now to find a Sea Doo dealer...

That is the coolest goddamn pontoon I've ever seen.

It sure looks like fun. I'm wondering about any downsides. Is there a danger of damaging the propulsion system by sucking up sand (as with a regular Sea-Doo)? Will the composite structure hold up as well as aluminum when striking a dock or shore? What will repairs cost? How noisy is it when trolling?

I didn’t know Luke Combs did boat reviews too

That is one slick pontoon, unfortunately not allowed at my local lakes they have a 15hp limit, they really gotta get with the times

I didn’t know they made them that small.

I like it but how does it work loaded and pulling.

I would get a 21ft and make it into the ultimate fishing boat

Is it easy to remove the swim platform? I like the size if 21ft, but to get into my garage i would need to remove the swim platform.

Any concerns about the clear plastic material yellowing?

Will thiseasy to flip on a rough wave when turning to the side of a big wave?

Is there throttle lock so you don't have to always squeeze the trigger? If not that takes away from the cruising around feeling a regular pontoon gives!

Had 2 BRPs had a lot of trouble out of them pretty early,could imagine paying 38k for one of these,and how long before it fades.I purchased a value model Bennington 10 k less than that piece of plastic, becareful.

Does it have 120v plug? Need to plug my blender in for margaritas!

If you watch your speedometer you actually cracked 46 twice. If there was little wind and less chop you probably would have run full put 46.

Got ours (the Sport Compact 13ft) in November, and spend time out most weekends in Port St. Lucie. This thing zips around nicely with the whole family of 4, and is very maneuverable. One thing I heard a lot on RU-vid when we were researching was the point about needing to provide input to steer. While this is true when going at speed, I would note that you can still steer in Neutral - the Switch will pivot like a top, which combined with the braking feature, makes it very easy to squeeze into tight spaces on the public docks. Also, if you get the bluetooth speaker add-on, save yourself the hassle, and unplug it as part of your launch/trailer routine. I found the below video showing how to. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-awfTw5QvBS0.html I found the video after I ended up with a dead battery after two weeks between trips.

looks like a giant jet ski

can this craft handle the ocean or is is strictly a protected bay or river boat ?

Is there any clean-out ports like the Yamaha have

Hi, we just bought a 2023 21-foot, 230HP Switch Sport. First time out, it maxed at 6000rpm and 30mph. I've been told it's in a "break in" period but I haven't found anything indicating how long that period lasts and when I'll be able to experience the 45mph you had in your video. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Can you attach a trolling motor to it?

The only thing that would make this better is to be able to move the drivers seat to a center console configuration.

It would be nice if you would be the 1st To do videos on other models such as 130hp models. All I see is sport model videos And no detailed performance videos on low horsepower models. For those with smaller bank accounts 😉

Max speed with max people on board?

Saya suka, sy akan tiap hari ke laut untuk memancing ikan buruan saya. 😁

Wish the steering can also move to the center or left just like the chairs.

Can you hook the jet pack accessory

Great for rescue boats.. should be used by all lifeguards/coastal guards

Can these be fitted with sea legs?

They should make a center console 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wow that price is crazy

Thanks from your Canadian cousins for CAD$ also :)

Starts at $27,000 for those who are wondering. The 18ft is $37,400 and the 21ft is $40,400. Says it comes with a trailer.

I actually really like these but my worry is servicing after awhile. I have a seadoo jet boat and I can not find a dealer that will service it. They won't touch the boats and after seeing the engine compartment the switch looks much harder to work on. Even independent mechanics are almost nonexistent within 100+ miles of me that will work on the boats. I'm afraid the switch will end up following suit like the boats.

now do a video w 6 people, 2 coolers and 1 🐶 🐶 in 1-2 ft waves and some wind.. perfect conditions, flat water and minimal load is like fake news

Trolling motor options?

Can you wakeboard/water ski with this? I understand you may have to modify from the model shown

Does anyone know how it is to troll with? I do a lot of fishing and i try to troll around 3mph. Is it constant steering and annoying or what?

For almost $40k 😮 Not my first choice but it is cool ngl.

Can you take your 21ft and convert it to a 18ft or 13ft yourself? Or buy the sections to extend a smaller one? Can you move the steering into the center? That is how I want mine to be customized. If all you can move are the seats...bleh

Looks neat in the Gulf with NO WAVES, so I wonder how it handles in the oceans and places with waves.

So you have to hold down the throttle the entire time? If that is the case, so much for a relaxing cruise...

So why the separation from TFL

Can this pontoon boat be left in the water on the dock for the boating season? Or does it need to be out of the water when not in use?

I think its cool and versatile but only for flat calm lakes i think.🙏

Does it have a live well?

We like to buy but guide us How we can buy, do you have branch in philippines?

Perahu yg bagus

This seems really cool but I honestly wonder who this is for. I've never been on my family pontoon and thought wow I wish this thing could carve corners.

That is genius i can make my own just put a jet ski in-between a catamaranand deck it all
