I had the opportunity to test the ‪@Seadoo‬ switch when it first came out. Looking to purchase one? This might be a good video to watch.

The bigger picture...... This is a tremendously smart move for Sea Doo. Building customizable platforms that perform allows for near infinite options with the addition of 3rd party inventors/vendors. RVs, especially Sprinter types, should be looking into this.

I've never came across a product that I ended up really liking so much but having a single feature about it that became an absolute show stopper and it's those god dam handle bars. And this is coming from a guy who never liked pontoon style boats. It’s amazing how Sea Doo changed my mind about pontoons but with a single design feature toss me right back to how I viewed them. Such a let-down. Let’s hope that Sea Doo’s modular design philosophy here with the switch translates into offering optional helm styles in the future.

We hear this a lot. Have you driven one of these yet? If you drove it - it might make more sense to you as to why they did the bars.

@budo4 10 ай бұрын

@@midwestadventurelifeI've never driven one and I can see how well it maneuvers when docking it from videos I’ve watchged but I am a traditionalist at heart. I would think they'd be able to create a similar maneuvering experience with a wheeled helm and throttle stick(s) unless I am completely missing something here.

@midwestadventurelife Same as before. As long as there is a warranty there will have to be service. But as they get older parts and people willing to work on them will dwindle. I couldn't even get a new or factory rebuilt 1503sc from seadoo which was a gigantic seller for them. I am looking for long term. That is why I decided not to buy a switch.

Thx for sharing. Will these handle in a rough bay? What’s the maintenance like, say as wave runner? Lastly which one is best, family or sport? Thank you

@midwestadventurelife Жыл бұрын

Maintenance is very straightforward, same as a pwc would be. Winterize (if needed where you live) seasonal oil changes. I personally like the cruiser style for the layout, but there's really no right or wrong option, and toy can change the Floorplan as your needs change.

Just picked up our Sea Doo Switch 230 (close to $50,000) on Memorial Day weekend. Now 2 months later the "Check Engine Light" is going on and off. Now we have to take it out of the water (mid July), take it to the dealer (Pioneer Motor Sports, Chaffee, NY) so they can put it on the computer to see what's wrong. The "what it could be" information in the booklet provided in vague and useless. Just had family out for the weekend which was basically ruined!!! ADVICE: IF YOU WANT A PONTOON BOAT, BUY A PONTOON BOAT! AVOID THIS CRAFT....TOO NEW ON THE MARKET!

@midwestadventurelife 11 ай бұрын

TO be fair, it's no different than a vehicle theses days. A check engine light can be many things. Also keep in mind that the motor and drive system is proven from their PWC lineup already. Having said that, it's always frustrating to have it put a kink in your weekend plans!
