Sea-Doo is known for their fun and innovative personal watercrafts. Their entry into the pontoon boat world is exciting. The jet-driven Sea-Doo Switch Sport is a hybrid PWC and pontoon boat, built for casual cruises and spirited water adventures.
The Switch Sport comes in three different versions: a very affordable compact version (13-feet) with 170 hp; an 18-foot version with 230 hp; and a 21-foot pontoon with 230 hp. The 21-footer will start around $35,000 including the trailer.
All three versions feature handlebar steering and come equipped with Sea-Doo’s iBR® System, which allows you to apply the breaks and go in reverse. The Switch comes with a 7″ touchscreen GPS to help with navigation and finding the right fishing holes. Ski Mode is designed for getting the right cranking power to lift skiers and wakeboarders up.
The Switch Sport has a BRP Audio System with 4x 100-watt speakers–perfect for pontoon parties!
All that said, the main highlight of this watercraft is its fully-configurable deck. Only the helm of the Switch Sport is stationary, so you can rearrange deck furniture as needed, or simply remove them if you need more space!
