Excellent video. Just wondering what you paid out the door? I am seriously considering buying one and I am trying to find out what other people are paying. Thanks

[@ZacharyKrepps]

Really appreciate the garage review component. I was interested because of the small size but also live in an HOA. Looks like I’ll have to look at something else. Thanks!

[@MikeBarnett1776]

Great video... I stumbled across it researching the Switch. I'd love to know how the rental thing is working out, and possibly the site you chose to list with - if I could cover even half of my monthly payment, I could afford the boat!

[@beauswindow8654]

That thing is pretty sweet! Thanks for the review 👍🏻

[@TRDJon]

More to come if you enjoyed

[@pastorquangful]

Do you have a video of maintenance when using on saltwater? We live in Fairhope, AL and are thinking about getting a Switch. Thanks in advance.

[@bobb.7899]

so cool I saw one in an ad and was interested in it. They were the 19 and 21 foot versions. Nice overview. Looking forward to seeing water review.

[@TRDJon]

Nice Bob! Hopefully we have a warm day soon so I can get it out

Looking to buy a 21’ 230 hp this year for my lake home. Great overview

[@kevinmeagher139]

Good video! I'm in Fort Walton Beach and will pick my 21' Cruise up tomorrow hopefully. Getting ready to sell my Yamaha 242 now. I keep my boats in the Marina at Eglin. Will be nice to see these boats around the Bay, Crab Island and the Sound this spring and summer!

[@TRDJon]

Hey that's where I put mine. They will need to make a custom craddle for you but they do a great job!

[@rpiedra74]

What app are you using to rent out your switch?

[@pigproductions7705]

Do you have the dimensions of the boat on the trailer with HxWxL? Trying to see if it would fit in my garage

[@coldfire2812]

[@TRDJon]

Thanks!!! Congratulations! Enjoy!

nice compact boat.show a video of it in the water, like to see the ride for a small boat..looked at the 18. maybe the 13, might be enough.

I have the 2022 Sea Doo Switch Cruise 21 footer with Supercharged 230hp and luv it!!! I did 54mph a few weeks ago on the lake with 5 adults on board 💥✋️ Good Times.

Thanks for a great Sea-Doo Switch tour! Did you get the boat to fit in your 7' garage entrance? Spec sheet says Sport Compact height is 6' 9" with bimini down. How did it go for you?

[@TRDJon]

That doesn’t include the trailer. I didn’t get it in

@@TRDJon Would it work with an 8’ garage door?

[@TheRspct2all]

Thanks Jon!

[@TRDJon]

Of course

[@CarnutMM]

40mph is fas for a boat especially of that size. I have a 16ft Boston Whaler that just fits in my garage. My HOA doesn’t allow me to have it in the back yard. My 4Runner tows it no problems. Are you able to unbolt the Bimini top to fit in the garage? Thanks for this video.

[@TRDJon]

I was not. The center console is to high still.

[@jacekplewa6686]

This is beautiful little boat.

[@TRDJon]

Its great

[@ITRLOVER]

Did you ever get it in the garage?

[@finnabinnaconna9836]

[@chickenwhisperer1745]

I never seen you take it out to the lake

[@Cbegnaud]

Let the air out of your tires and mount wheel on rollers Nd you can fit it in garage

@@TRDJon seriously looking in to the compact sport. It's just for me and my son. Love the look of them.

[@nightcrawleroriginal]

Great looking boat, as for the fitting in the garage Jon, have you thought about removing the top canopy from the boat itself? Maybe remove the tire wheels and set it down on castors (more maneuverable) that would give it more clearance, everything would have to be measured out first before going through all that trouble but it "could" work. As for renting it out Jon, I'm not a fan of that (personally), unless you started a Rental Company for them (licensed and Insured), way to much personal liability against you, your house, your property, your vehicles, simply not worth the risk JON. My personal views. Great looking boat otherwise, thanks for the share. :)

[@TRDJon]

That’s way to much work and a hassle to try to fit imo. Especially if pulling out 2 or more a week. The site I’m looking at is like Airbnb when their is all of that wrapped into the rental. I’ll also have private insurance on the side too. Thanks!

[@MH-fp6nv]

@@TRDJon Not sure how much clearance you need on your garage, but you can look into converting your trailer to a drop trailer. Should be able to get a new axle and drop it up to 4".

[@josedebernard9737]

Good video thanks

[@TRDJon]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nsvaluto48328]

Actually I saw a compact one with the swim platform

[@Rooster_king]

I looked into these and they are cool. However, they draft deeper than other pontoons, and I needed one that can handle shallow water.

[@TRDJon]

They do a bit more for sure with the center toon.

[@ecachuh]

We just bought the exact one that you have, even same color. Taking it out tomorrow morning can't wait! Did your trailer come with the cotter pin for the coupler or did you purchase it separately? We asked about ours and the dealer told us they don't come with pins on the compact. Just wondering we thought it was odd. Also thanks for the awesome video, it played a part in our decision!

[@kennediwyman9844]

How do you like it? I’m thinking about buying one!

[@ecachuh]

@@kennediwyman9844 We absolutely love it! It's a nice ride, easily maneuverable, It's very comfortable to sit in, fish in etc. Lots of storage! We're very happy with it!

cost on this model??

[@BrayanElias]

Will you do a video about renting? I just bought the 2023 18 230HP with $600/month payment 😢

[@TRDJon]

Yes I will do an update. Congrats!

[@russellwillocks4529]

Hoe much was it? How many months on the payments?

[@stormhill7959]

Make sure u have some type of insurance due to death or injury when renting out and or have them sign paper of no fault

[@TRDJon]

100%

Holy Crow. An Old Town canoe is longer. That's crazy.

[@TRDJon]

Right?

[@j.thomas7128]

@@TRDJon I'd much rather fish and hangout on the Switch! All 13' of her. haha. luv this thing! Nice! Although I'm generally not a fan of e-vehicles, this would be great as e-powered if it could allow access to lakes/reservoirs that have gas-powered bans.

[@jamesmuro9286]

How many on the compact Sport? I think Sea Doo says 5? Do you wish you had a bit bigger model? Have you tried fishing from it?

[@TRDJon]

5 correct or the max load capacity. I have not yet. I love the smaller boat.

[@v.j713]

We have been taking our sport compact out each weekend when weather allows, to fish in opened ocean in southern cal..we love it, handles the swells pretty good,with 4 adults and sometimes 5 dogs…we wish we had gotten the 18 feet now…it s good for us but extra footage will be better to fish…we don’t have kids but love to take our nephews

[@greggodfrey5387]

Do you have to keep your finger on trigger even with cruise like their skis? If so no go for me

[@TRDJon]

No it has a cruise control set

[@glennwatson3313]

I want one.

[@jimmyspencer4019]

As someone who used to work for a resort when I was kid that rented jet skis and boats make sure u get a credit card for damage deposits. People will destroy that bad boy. My friend now owns the boats side of the buisness and he is continuously fixing his pontoons and replacing them because how hard people are on them.

[@TRDJon]

That’s why I like that this is modular. And I definitely will. Probably $1K deposit for sure

[@jimmyspencer4019]

@@TRDJon good idea cause people don't care especially if there alcohol involved and they won't tell u if the hit something. Also don't let them grille on the boat they will burn holes all over it.

Well that's the thing, I was super keen for these boats but then found out what the servicing requirements are for these engines and it's shocking to realize they only go like 150-200 hours before a major service and after 400 the choice of a rebuild? That is a deal-breaker, I don't make that much money

[@jeffbryner5355]

Awwwww that thing is cute 🤣🤣 I can't way to see these and the spark after 10 years when seadoo stops making parts for them and how weathered and dry rotted the plastics will get. Especially your plastic clear paneling around the hull. I bet they turn yellow and get dry rotted as well.

[@briancollard8738]

Seadoo does great at part availability. Their parts aren't cheap, but this is a significant profit source for the company and I have had no problems getting parts for my 2007 Seadoo GTI SE 155 ski. And it runs like new...300+ hours.

[@jeffbryner5355]

@briancollard8738 my aunt has 2 gtx limited they went in last spring to fix electrical issues on both. One needed a wire harness and the other a instrument gauge. A year later they still don't have either of them back. The summer before last one of them went down and had no reverse. Not a issue unless you have to pull up to a dock witch they do. These seadoos are junk. My buddy's 03 xp di went down due to a bullshit design a cheap plastic part that connects the oil pump to tje crank. Guess what it failed and now he is putting a engine in it. U can't pre mix the oil either like a typical 2 stroke. It will mess it up. The 951 di engines are the worse designed pwc engine out there. Local mechanics in my state won't even touch them because they are so bad. This is just 2 issues I could go on trust me. Seadoo is junk. I only ride yamaha or kawi

[@briancollard8738]

@@jeffbryner5355 Yikes!! That sounds horrible. Fortunately, I have had no issues at all, even with some body parts. The jet pump housing was on backorder for a couple weeks and made me nervous, but got it OK. I will see how it goes when I get to the 20+ year old range.
