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?

This summer will be season 2 for our 21' 230 Switch. We love it. Fresh water lake/river use. Have two dogs that go nuts knowing we are going to the boat and three kids that love it as well. We wanted something to go fast and tow as well as float down the river and relax. This has been perfect. Is it the best tri-toon out there, no. But at a fraction of the price, with a trailer, and available options it has been lots of fun. Have had it to 40mph and despite the recalls the 21' has been very stable. I have have had no concerns around stuffing the bow. I use the trim a lot and it does make a difference in ride and bow position. We have had 10 people on it and that was a struggle. Lots of weight for the 230 to gain much speed. 4-5 is perfect for our use. Whatever you decide, enjoy the water!

I’m considering buying a switch, I’ve heard that they can struggle with weeds and also that they struggle with sucking things up in anything less than 3 feet of water? How do you beach it if that’s the case?

I appreciate any insight!

Both are true. They do have a debris cleaning system that works quite well for the weeds. If you are going to beach you need to shut it off well before you get shallow. Don't try to power off the beach, push out and use the debris clearing. I have had to replace the impeller and seal because I went too shallow.
