• OLD-----KEEPING UP FOR...
We all have so many questions about the SeaDoo Switch. We were curious how well it could handle some rough water, so we tested it out in the Gulf of Mexico on a day with high winds!

This is such a great demonstration!! We were worried about it handling rough water on the Hudson River and in New York harbor but I’m feeling more confident after watching this vid!
Thank you! We're glad you found it helpful!
If I get one I will try the Miami to Bimini.
That will be interesting!
Had my Switch out in rough water like this on Lake Washington in Seattle, it handled great. I did get some engine overheating warnings when the boat was completely air-born going over some big waves, probably because it wasn't sucking in any water, I have the 21-230. I came to the same conclusion you did, never felt like the boat was unsafe, and I hit those waves going 35mph, but you definitely want to hold on.
Yes, super stable. The go pros don't do those waves any justice. They were over my head at some points.
@@JetBoatPilot Good video . Not that I worry about survival but would
not want to put my 13 footer through that. And God forbid my wife being
with me if I dared to try.🤣🤣🤣
@@Harelston Its not so much that you go out looking for this stuff, but mother nature can change quickly and you could find yourself in it in a hurry. We wanted to encourage Switch owners that if you do, don't panic. You'll be fine. Maybe a little wet, but safe.
@@JetBoatPilot Gotcha...just wanted to add my two cents based on a smaller
Switch. I have been out in somewhat rough conditions and my wife pretty much
freaked. So it is going to vary a good bit on the perspective as to how safe it
is depending on boat size and overall boating experience by the individual.
But you proved your point well I think. Personally I would like to go three or
4 miles out in ideal conditions. But for sure I would check the weather thoroughly
first . Just speaking for myself I would not enjoy getting caught in a bad storm
in this type of boat. You can do a lot with them but they are really made best
for lake type conditions I assume most would agree.
@@Harelston yes for sure.
Great video! My Switch will never see chop like that, but it definitely demonstrates the capability of the Switch in rough water. Impressive! Are you all going to post a follow up with some context and your experience filming this? I think that would be some great insight for those that are on the fence about buying one or aren't sure if they should bring it out in rough water.
Maybe, tell me what you'd like to learn or hear?
@@JetBoatPilot more of your opinion of how the boat handled, is there anything you wouldn’t recommend or try again, what surprised you about the test, how fast were you going, how big were the swells, etc.
@@ZacColeman Let me see if we can do a follow on. It's really not feasible to take a video down and redo it but a follow on to the one shown could be done easily. We do really like the Switch and I think there is an audience out there for this type of discussion.
@@JetBoatPilot Oh yeah I completely understand. Just wanted to provide some feedback. I did see the shorter video that did touch on some great insights. Thanks for being open to recommendations. Love your content and products!
@@ZacColeman Honestly that is the secret sauce to our success. We love to get feedback and we use it when we get it.
Will once again risking his life for our entertainment. LoL. I'm sure the video doesn't do it justice, how big are those waves?
Some were over the top of my head but we did not feel we could safely shoot them. Several we did shoot were over the front gate. At least 3 feet maybe 4 foot.
Awesome thanks
I like those floor panels. Any info on them?
Yes beta trials start soon. They will be in the JetBoatPilot store.
Maybe it's the camera angle, but that doesn't look rough. I've been in rougher water on a kayak.
@sccolbert it was filmed on a go pro so looks calmer than it was
If water can seep down between the cracks of the decking when a wave crashes over, how does it escape the hull ? Or is it just there until you trailer it and pull
The plugs?
I believe it can run off the deck through Channel ways
Great demonstration. I know it's off topic, but can you tell me where the floor mats come from?
We make them.
@@JetBoatPilot are they available for the public yet?
@kahallsmallsful we're in beta trials at the moment. They will be available in May to the Public if all goes well.
I have a 2024 on order....I am am so excited!
Us too can't wait
Looks brutal and wet with a lot spray coming over the bow.
It was remarkably steady though the conditions were awful. I'd say better than any 19 foot jet boat we've ever tested in this sort of scenario.
This looks like bath water compared to the great lakes, I don't see any white caps
I wonder if the sport can handle same, difference size...
Switch comes in a Compact size at 13' long, a 16' with an optional swim platform (makes it 18') and a 19 ' footer with the option for the swim platform making it 21' long. The sport is essentially an option package which includes lower front rails and less furniture with more padded floor tiles. The 18' Sport should ride the same as the 18' Cruise. The big difference would be in the handling and ride quality of the Compact which is obiously lighter and shorter. My guess is that it would be a rougher ride and not as well able to handle bigger waves.
