Old name new product - a pontoon

[sirbob]

Looks like Sea-Doo can't resist the market. Only $18K?

Sea-Doo Switch Pontoon

Jet skis are fun to drive. Pontoons are great for groups. The Sea-Doo Switch combines the two. This new watercraft is powered by Rotax jet propulsion and has handlebar steering that makes it far more maneuverable than a typical pontoon....

Vin has one

Are there any markets Sea-Doo hasnt tapped into yet?

Humor aside: Those of us that are experienced out on Havasu when a sudden super wind shit storm hits,,,, have to think in the not to distant back of their mind,,, these Sea Doo Pontoons are going to be in a bigger world of shit than even a normal pontoon that'll be in enough world of shit out...

From that thread They get a little pricey, but its a neat idea.

Was kinda into it until I saw this lol. FYI I owned a seadoo jet boat on 03 Utopia. Fun little jet boat but unreliable as hell, and not many shops would touch it.

Someone is going to dumbshit this thing

I think we’re going to give one a shot, I personally can’t handle wrestling the big one’s anymore. Was going to buy a couple of sea doos to play with but this might work out better.

The functionality seems be there. I just don't understand the handle bars lol

Hmmm... maybe I should make an aftermarket steering wheel setup for these, bet there will be a strong market if these sell.

Honestly I would consider getting one if there was a wheel.

Those pontoons give the appearance of being injected molded plastic

I would think they probably are mostly plastic.

Would probably suit the intended light duty recreational purpose, but wouldn't want to due much beaching. Although it seems other than in Ca and Fl, it's more about anchoring than beaching.

People beach jet skis all the time…what’s the difference?

My question is more what materials the pontoons are constructed of ? Fiberglass, or some other type of composite ? Not a clue.
Seems one of the attractions of pontoons or tri-toons is their ability to hold up to regular beaching.

We've never just beached our PWCs just anywhere, we usually seek out more sheltered, softer sand and we pull them up pretty far to avoid undue bottom wear.

You are one of those people who care…you can’t apply that logic across the board.

No doubts, I'm not who they're marketing target these to I think that motorcycle / pwc handlebar setup would get really old for that style of boat. But the kids will dig it and beat these like they stole em.
Will probably be big in the rental fleets.
