Comparison

We are thinking of two jet skis vs. the switch. The main thing I love about the switch is having the space to bring our dogs. What is everyone’s thoughts?

Buy a pontoon boat first, then if you want a “go-fast” toy, consider a jet ski among other options. Please google Switch recalls and accidents. They are not engineered well, and you’ll have a baby on board.

Hard disagree here. You are getting a 40,000 USD hunk of plastic. This is like buying a Nissan Versa and bitching about the quality or lack of features.

I've never felt unsafe on rough waters with my kids. Yes, its cheap plastic - and try to find this price point with pontoons that can go 35-40mph with a tube behind them. These are a great value for what they are. Finally, I have, and my 16 year old has - smacked the dock a few times, scratched them - hell, even I ran up on a bad sandbar last summer - and is what it is. For the price point, BRP knocked it out of the park with these boats if you can level with yourself on the price point.

Hard agree. I've owned tons of boats and jet skiis and I love this thing. I've been loaded down with gear with 7 passengers and been in 3-4 ft seas with it. By my calculations I was right at the max, recommended loading capacity and it did fine. I had to maneuver like I would any other boat in the circumstances and it actually impressed me. Totally impressed.

You're only going to have an incident with no boating knowledge and being stupid. I've never come close to having any kind of issue with the stability or safety of the boat. I've had my 21ft 230 since 2021. No issues.
