Well at starting price of $199 a month I’m sure they will sell and be popular rentals. Seems like a niche like all the other attempts at reconfiguring a jet ski.

 

[Lotoguy]

Saw a couple on LOTO this weekend. For 30k I could buy a descent used tritoon.

 

[Ziggy]

Few of them cruising the channel Saturday. Albeit somewhat functional for what it is, it however to me looks like a giant baby playpen.

 

[Dirtbag]

i freakin love it....i think of my mom and pops who cant take the boat out without me....this would be so easy for them to launch and retrieve...i think it looks awesome on the water as well....i wish i could talk pops into one haha...could launch it with the Polaris General easy!

 

[RaceTec]

Saw a bunch in Parker on Memorial and I agree with @Ziggy looks like a baby playpen! Funny watching one try to dock at Fox's bow in on the outside!

 

[DLC]

I have a buddy that is a Rep for can am and he says they are selling the crap out of those!

very functional and easy, fairly cheap.


I think they look way to plastic

 

[outboard_256]

I hate the controls, but I wonder for someone that has never set foot on a boat or seadoo, would this be easier to learn that a steering wheel and throttle? Is this better for someone that has never been on water?

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Someone at Sea-Doo is pretty smart for this move. It's a nice entry level Toon that could work in the lower river. I think they'll sell a ton of them.

 

[QC22]

I cal them the "Swiss Army Boat". They almost look blow up.

Speaking of Polaris & easy launching, on Sunday one of those amphibious quad/waverunner vessels cruised by us then put wheels down to beach it. Looked very wide and stable.

 

[stephenkatsea]

Other than the handle bar controls, I like them. Great entry level package.

James and I said that EXACT same thing.

Not my cuppa tea, but to each their own. Could be a good setup if you have a litter of children and want to get out on a boat.

 

[Badchoices03]

I have seen 5 of these already on Canyon Lake....

shit i have to find the photo from memorial day but this one lady in the marina had 4 french bulldogs on the front of hers and it looked like kennel.

 

[monkeyswrench]

I think they're a great entry level pontoon(ish) boat you can finance. Probably easy to store as well too.

A litter of children...

 

[stephenkatsea]

They have a Tri Toon hull configuration.

 

[NicPaus]

A litter of children...

Hahaha. My boat on Saturday.

There was quite a few of the seadoo toons out. And a plethora of skis

 

[SOCALCRICKETT]

I see where they fill a need, just not my cup of tea

 

[HNL2LHC]

Speaking of Polaris & easy launching, on Sunday one of those amphibious quad/waverunner vessels cruised by us then put wheels down to beach it. Looked very wide and stable.

I saw one of those on Memorial Day weekend. I think it was the one called a Hippo. And as for the Seadoo. They are so different that you can spot them from a far distance.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Needs a wheel, not handlebars.

I hate the controls, but I wonder for someone that has never set foot on a boat or seadoo, would this be easier to learn that a steering wheel and throttle? Is this better for someone that has never been on water?

It would be super compelling if it had a wheel

 

[warpt71]

there are at least 2 down at LL already. I dont dig the looks, they are all plastic, but I think they function very well! I think they will be very popular on a small lake or for us on the lower river. I have no clue how they will handle rough water on a busy lake weekend.

My friends just got one and have owned just about everything pontoon. They actually are selling their Hurricane that this replaced.

 

[LhcBrad]

They had one at our Boat Show in Idaho last winter.

 

[FROGMAN524]

Saw one this weekend at Mohave. Had about 4 big guys sitting to one side and I thought it was going to flip over leaving the no wake zone.

Welcome back!! Vacation?

 

[Badchoices03]

Man seems like a lot of people standing around watching that guy struggle...nobody could give him a hand?

 

[FROGMAN524]

Welcome back!! Vacation?

Yes. A Mental vacation from this place

 

[Dan Lorenze]

I'm guessing you guys think it looks like a playpen because of the netting on the sides. I think that's actually a great idea for the wind, it would go right through the netting instead of acting like a sail, great idea. The modular interior is pretty sweet too. Lots of out of the box thinking going on here.

 

[DBMX]

I saw probably 10 memorial day weekend between Topoc and the Avi. Not my style, but the low barrier of entry cost is pretty cool for the average person.

I posted on the Switch 6 months ago.

Since then, I have been a member of a very large Switch Facebook group. I have learned a lot about the Switch.

In the future, it will be a great boat. Right now, Sea Doo has a lot of different items to address. Sure, there are a multitude of people having a great time. However, sadly, there have been a lot of problems. A LOT.

I think they will address these issues, making the next generation of Switch more reliable.

Also, it should be noted that videos are starting to appear of the Switch flipped over. 3 just this week. According to reports, it was because too many passenger were on one side, making it easy to flip when waked. Each case has been new boater ignorance. Which I don’t mean stupid, because it’s hard to fault someone who just doesn’t know anything, but is willing to learn. I guessing they won’t do that again. Lol

Anyways, I like the Switch, but waiting is probably the best thing to do. I predict in the future, the 1st generation will be avoided for future resale value. Something to consider.

Litter. Noted haha

On Memorial we saw one wide open in the heavy chop full loaded. Was pretty impressed with how it was handling the rough stuff.

 

[Tank]

Saw a lot of them Cruising around havasu last month. They look cool in the ads and online. On the water? Not so much. They look tiny and cheap. Guess you get what you pay for. Wouldn’t say it’s a good havasu or loto boat at all. Maybe like a nacimiento or pleasant or some other smaller spot. Or a sand bar keys runner. That’s about it.

Are there mechanical or electrical issues? Or is there something with the toon design causing problems? The concept of an entry level newer toon is pretty intriguing to me still.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

I would most likely have to swap out the stock handlebar for a pair of Pro Tapers and lock-on Emig grips....

 

[stonehenge]

These have been out for awhile now, but like the global supply issues, they were affected in early production.

Speaking of production they are truely modular, and differ very little from model to model and length to length.

The seats can be moved in about 10 seconds or less, all but the driver seat.

I think they look kinda ghay, but they certainly have a place in the market, and like all the lake lice we will see a shit ton more.

youtube has dozens of test video, some in florida in the waves, they seem to handle the chop relatively well, but not at any decent speed above 25.

Just like utv's in glamis, these will invade the water ways. But look at the bright side, they don't throw ridiculous waves behind them like the "moomba" crowds, lol

I was thinking some 20" ape hangers.

Now I have an image of a ratrod, "Water World" version...
Airbrushed up to look riveted and rusty, not bad
