2022 Boat Buyers Guide: Sea-Doo 21 Switch Cruise

Sea-Doo turned the pontoon market on its ear for 2022, building a pontoon boat that, in many ways, shares little in common with the rest of the market.

How do the LinQ components seem to hold up over repeated use? I'd be concerned with that little yellow tab snapping easily after some UV.

Just FYI, my father has owned the 13' model with the 170 HP motor for about 3 months now (around 35 hours of use). In our experience, everything about the boat is very cheaply made, plastic, breaks constantly and takes weeks to months to get replacemet parts. The boat takes on water into the hull and has to be drained and cleaned rigorously and the ride is atrocous due to the very wide and flat hull. Not to mention, the deck of the boat gets scalding hot in the sun, so no bare feet onboard. I suppose if it were on a flat, freshwater lake, it wouldn't be a big deal, but as this one is being used in Pensacola Bay, Pensacola, Florida, all of the above make it a very bad boat for the area. Oh yeah, with 4 people on board, at least two have to be sitting/standing up front or the boat will not reach plane. He is already trying to sell his.

Nice video but the double Bimini is NOT standard. The double is a add on.

I wish there was a nicer digital display

I just rented a Switch Cruise 21 with the 230 HP Rotax in Oregon. Slow, hard to get on plane, and slow turning with only two adults and five 8th graders, well below the 9-adult limit. There’s a reason SeaDoo and YouTube reviewers only show video with lightly-loaded Switch Cruises. They are sluggish even with a 60% load.

Will I need a second mortgage to keep gas in it?

[lanyburnett]

Just bought a 24 foot by 8.5 foot Tahoe tri-toon with a 200 horse Suzuki, and performance lifting fins, for 55K including the trailer, tax, and everything. I don't really see why people would by this for nearly 50K! That is crazy.

Is a great Sea-Doo but you're missing one accessory the fishing pole bracket which will be nice and bake well that you can move from place to place this is the great product that you should add to this Sea-Doo

[trammellstewart]

These are such a great fit to an untapped market

[williamgleaton]

A big miss, no side door when at dock can't see jumping over the wall to get on boat, and I've had several pontoon boats from 16' up to 24 ft.

[Digiphex]

I can see this craft evolving into two detachable Sea Doo PWC's that link with the Pontoon. Then it would have massive power and also be everything to everybody.

[wheelliving]

I live on a lake and one guy has one of these, but it's a little tiny thing, but I'm not sure of the length, maybe 14 or 15'? It's fast, but the deck is very high off the water and I'm not sure I would feel safe in it. I think Sea-Doo fixed a problem that didn't need fixing. I think I would rather just go with a 20-22' regular pontoon with a 40-60 horse on it. Not crazy about that steering and throttle setup either

[elimogenson]

I don't like the soft sides. And why is it so slow?

[Boatfisherz]

Like the floor panel idea, but don't like the inboard engine and no steering wheel/throttle. Innovative, I'll give them that.

[alpine_brine]

Looks cool..but there is a reason they dont make rough riding tri-hulls anymore.

[daniloaraujo]

This Switch just Works in USA. Here in Brazil, it very expansive, almost USD 100.000 😮

[loveoneanotherasihaveloved]

Any feedback on if the commodity fee of $2700.00 is negotiable with the dealer. I think that’s really high even with the high demand and shortage of boats.

[marcrenaud]

Is the motor noisy? I had a seadoo challenger 180 and it was very loud inside.

[bigchungus]

The switch is fast for a pontoon. 40+mph with the 230hp supercharged motor.

[andyviking]

The idea is great but the material is CHEAPLY made. I might consider it once sea doo makes it out more durable material and add fishing pole holders.
