SEADOO SWITCH DRAG RACE | 21' 230hp vs 18' 170hp 

Great video ! Can't wait to see more switch vids

This is what I have been wanting to see for my decision on sizing and power. Great work.

2024 seadoo switch limited looks good, wished they put the 325 ace Rotax in the 21 foot. It really does need the higher HP with the bigger size an additional person capacity

More Switch videos my dude. Nice work!

Would love to see this same test but the 21` boat and the 170 vs. the 230 hp engine to see exactly what we gain by going up an engine with the same hull.

Ive always wanted one and watch a lot of your videos and finally bit the bullet on a 18' 2024 Sea Doo Switch Sport 230hp and cant wait pick it up next tuesday.

We have a 18-230, with 4 people, were able to get up to 43 MPH

Your comments about turning differences port to starboard are correct but i have found that adjusting the vts greatly affects turning to port. With vts set to lowest position it is possible to get the hull to bite more allowing for a tighter turn but no where near the crisp hard over to starboard.

More switch videos!! Maybe a video on the minor differences between the 22 23 and 24 models would be so helpful!

The solo pilot drag racing is interesting, but comes up short in depicting real world applications. Would love to see some performance vs gross weight vs load distribution runs for various models.

Thank You for doing this video! Noticed you have the premium audio on the 18 but not the 21, do you feel the helm speakers improved on your 21 foot vs the 18?

Awesome video! I'm planning on getting one next summer and have been trying to figure out what size and trim to get. This made it clear 18' with the 230hp engine! Ty 4 the vid and stay safe with Hurricane Idalia on it's way!

Love your videos. What are your feelings on devices to flash the ECU for increased hp from companies like Aftermarket Assassins?

Really appreciate the Switch videos. We've had our 18-230 Cruise about a month now. The info you provide is super helpful. Btw we love the bumpers! Could use your input on mounting a transducer though. I plan to mount on the starboard toon but not sure whether to screw directly into the polytec or adhere a plate. Thoughts? Thx.

Don't these boats have to come out of the water when not in use? I have a slip, but no lift.

I have the 2022 Switch Cruise 21 footer with 230hp supercharged motor and i got it up to 54 mph on the lake this past weekend with 5 adults on it!!! I luv it 💯

when I was first looking at the 13 ft switch, the dealer was putting a swim platform on it. was told the rear of the boat is the same for all three seizes. sea-doo says they don't make it for the 13 (on their website). I did some research on it and was told if the boat is over 13ft, it has to have a catalytic converter on it. the swim platform adds about 2 feet making it non-compliant with EPA laws. another dealer told me they do not install them on the compact sport because it could flip the boat over upon rear boarding (not buying that). I want to put one on mine just to keep swimmers from stepping on the jet drive trying to get in the boat, there is always that one person who doesn't listen to you or doesn't care.

We have a 21 230 cruise, if i did it again i would get the 18 230. There rarely more than 2 of us on the boat. And we have had 9 people on the boat, it was pretty slow.

Great video, thank you! Question about choppy waters. A rule of thumb is the bigger the boat, the better it handles rough waters. How noticeable is the choppy water ride comfort between the 18' and 21' Switch?

Do you have a video on the trim settings? Of the switch? Like when to adjust Compared to the water or speed that you're doing

Fun!!!

I live in Pensacola and I’m going to the dealership to put my eyes on one hopefully they are good business

Great content, I was wondering for either 18’ & 21’ loaded (8-10 passengers) with gear for a day outing what MPH loss would you see? Thanks for sharing Billy D

Since you have tried both 21 and 18 ft. Does it make a huge safety difference between the two sizes in case of a occasional choppy water? In your opinion what's the best switch setup ratio for 1. Safety, 2. Engine power for a family boat? I have 3 little boys. Thanks.

Hopefully this Spring my wife will let me get one. Speaking of which, can you make a video of how to add a head to the boat? 😊

Great video!!! I have a 21 foot 230hp. What RPM was the 21' getting? We are only seeing 7700 to 7800 rpm and about 37 to 38 mph, with 42 hours on the boat. Thanks for all the great information you share on here! As new boat owners you have helped greatly!

i cannot wait for you to do this with the new 24 yamahas 1.9s ... drag the 252 s !

Can you compare each towing a skier or tube? Wondering how the two different motors are affected by a load on it?

Yeah i need twin engines, or at least put the new see doo jet ski engine in it woth 325hp, personally i would get some work on mine ,i think it would need to be around the 350hp mark and top speed of 45 or 55 would be nice. But either way it doesnt seem to jave great power and that was just 1 person on it,when u get 8 more people on it i would imagine it would it getting up to speed really slow and top speed maybe 26-29 . With this price point give us more power please

I’d love to see a top speed run with max passenger capacity on one or both. It’s not like you’re trying to set records in these boats but I’m really curious to see what those motors can handle under weight!

Looked at the little 13 ft rig as a secondary family boat. Any thoughts on that model ?

I guessing you have to use 32 bit float with this guy! 🤣🤣

I need to see a 13' with a new 300hp in it...

I was looking ad a 13' compact but there is a place selling a 18' with a 230hp for just 2 grand more. I'm assuming the 18 with the 230 would roll.

The real question is when is a 310hp boat coming?

Has anyone shown how the 21-foot Switch handles the surf boat waves versus a high quality tri-toon?

Just got my 2023 21ft 230HP. 4 adults and 2 kids on board during 1st time in the water. Boat barely got to 23 mph. That makes me nervous. Any suggestions?

I would buy one of these if they made a 22 or 23 foot unit with twin 230hp engines, clean out ports, and different color seat/interior options than just Grey.

I have a 13 (compact) you can add a swim deck!!

I hear the motors last only a couple years and superchargers less in some cases. Any truth to that?

The 170 is plenty for this boat... most of the time you will want to cruise at about 25 mph.

Why no love for the compact 13'

Love your video, Unfortunately, My 2023 18' sea doo switch flooded with 1' of water inside, Because I kept both water plugs closed, now it won't start, Can you tell me what should I do first to minimize my damage? Thank you.

was the 18 ft in sport mode?

I would never SWITCH from yamaha to a seadont 😂 pun Intended 😂

I get 43 mph in a 115 vmax outboard

The bigger one looked nose down at top end. Much more than the smaller one.

18ft 230 is great.

Can you get the 18 with the 230hp?

Anybody waterski behind one of these?

The SeaDoo Switch looks like a floating Pack & Play for adults.
