Sea-Doo Switch Pontoon Boat
When the Sea-Doo Switch family of pontoon boats debuted a few years ago, the vessels were revolutionary for their jet propulsion system, handlebar steering, and—most significantly—their inclusion of Sea-Doo’s Intelligent Brake and Reverse system, which made them the only pontoon boats with braking capability. The latest model, the 2024 Sea-Doo Switch Cruise Limited, continues that trend and features an upgraded 10.25-inch touchscreen, a premium JL Audio sound system, and Garmin GPS.
