So why would Sea-Doo, who’s parent company owns Manitou Pontoon boats, make pontoon boats? They are looking for the market of around $20k to $29k for a family vessel, upgrading from a PWC. The pontoons that are grossly overpowered and attempting to go fast are just comedy, nothing remarkable. A simple pontoon is okay for putting around a lake and maybe doing some fishing or passing out in the sun on but they are not very seaworthy for much more. New pontoons are the equivalent of trying to make a flatbed truck into a luxury vehicle by fastening outdoor furniture to the bed. When the market grew, the size and features also grew, so did the price and power buyers wanted on them. Pontoon boats are popular but mostly because they were a way of having the whole family onboard a relatively affordable vessel that didn’t need much power. From an aesthetic point of view, it’s a nightmare. With PWC handlebars to steer, the Switch is basically a plastic floating dock with a Sea-Doo underneath and configurable outdoor furniture on the deck. Although jet drives are very inefficient they are safer in terms of not having an exposed propeller spinning where swimmers could make contact with it, so you can see why they went with it. The Switch is a very plasticky, modular looking tri-toon boat powered by a Rotax engine and jet drive.

When you look at the latest Sea-Doo creation, the Switch, you’ll understand why very quickly. How could a seemingly competent manufacturer fail so bad in adjacent markets like boat building and outboard engines? But, when BRP dabbled in boat building with Sea-Doo boats and later buying Evinrude outboards, they failed miserably. The original Sea Doo was a winner in the marketplace for its simple design and affordability. Both brands, Ski-Doo and Sea-Doo are synonymous with their respective markets. The PWC market is competitive and one of the advantages the parent company of Sea-Doo, BRP (formerly Bombardier) had was they were early to market with the sit down jet ski and really built off their snowmobile brand, Ski Doo.
