![]() ![]() The Base Switch is offered with 100-170 hp, the Sport with 170-230 hp for more towing power, and the Cruise with the full range of 100-230 hp depending on how you outfit the boat and what you plan to do with it as a primary use. Engine(s) Power is provided by a Rotax 1630 ACE 3-cylinder engine with a horsepower range of 100 to 230. There’s even a cruise control feature so the driver doesn’t have to apply throttle pressure throughout a long cruise. (This award-winning breaking system uses a bucket to deflect thrust and therefore slow, stop or reverse the boat.) With the handlebars, you can spin the boat almost in its own length if the wind is cooperating. ![]() The throttle is on the right bar while Sea-Doo’s Intelligent Brake & Reverse (iBR) system is on the left. Instead of a wheel, you steer with PWC-like handlebars. Just push or pull the T-handle to secure or release various add-ons and go from a day of fishing, to an afternoon of watersports, to an evening of entertaining, all on one boat. The system can be changed out quickly by the boater so it’s very flexible. You can also opt to keep the deck clear for fishing or partying. It’s called Sea-Doo’s LinQ system and uses snap-in mounting hardware to add seats/couches, corner tables, and so on. The deck system is modular with 18-inch tiles making a grid to which you attach various features and furniture. There is no side gate so it may be tricky to board from a dock. A boarding gate is at the bow and one can be added aft in a rear corner in certain configurations. ![]() It also adds safety since the driver can see through the vinyl when approaching a dock or a skier in the water. Instead of aluminum fencing panels that most pontoons feature, it has clear vinyl sides attached to powder-coated aluminum rails. Onboard Layout And Cockpit Design The Switch looks different right at the dock. You may even be able to keep the Switch in your garage which is much cheaper than at a separate storage facility and that lowers the overall cost of ownership. Depending on size, engine and outfitting, the approximate weight is 2,500 pounds so you don’t need a monster tow vehicle to move your Switch from lake to river, and since the beam is under eight feet, you won’t need a special towing permit either. The Switch Cruise carries 7-9 passengers, can be 18-21 feet long (actually 20’ 5” for the largest), also has three color trim options and offers nice add-ons like a BRP sound system along with the Garmin touchscreen GPS multifunction display for navigation when you want to venture farther.
