The Taylor family from Saint Augustine, Florida did not know what to expect ahead of their test of the Sea-Doo Switch on the Saint Johns River. But they found it to be “kinda perfect” as the pontoon power craft suited both exploring the river surrounds and having fun pulling a tube.

After boarding the craft they were initially unsure of the Switch’s stability and handling, but once under power the confidence inspiring machine put them at ease, and felt more safe and secure than a powerboat. Hitting waves was less stressful and the ride was smoother.

The review showcases the versatility and practicality of the Switch, which when compared to virtually any other watercraft has an incredible amount of space for the compact size of the deck.

Multiple configurations of the deck were a big hit with the Taylor family, the kids loved moving the seats around and quickly came to the conclusion that the lounge spot was the most popular of all. The moveable cooler and the neatly stowed ladder were seen as very functional additions, as was the front opening gate – a feature not found on powerboats.

The simplicity of the Switch enabled the Taylor family to easily turn it into what they found was a great fishing boat, and it is sure to find favour with many an angler. More than anything, it is the ability of this innovative watercraft from Sea-Doo to do all of the above with minimum fuss and maximum fun that puts it in a class all of its own.

Two 2021 Yamaha Super Jets face off in Wisconsin for a speed comparison test. One PWC is modded with a RIVA Stage 1 tune. The other PWC is mostly stock and owned by John Zigler, host, and owner of Watcon/Rock County Jet Ski (RCJS). His friend Sean owns the modified ski.

They meet on the water at a lake in Wisconsin. Zigler’s ski is outfitted with a few performance parts. It has a RIVA Free Flow Exhaust, Billet RCJS tri-scoop, Rick Roy Handle Pole, and over the pivot steering. He has the steering maxed out and short and tight, making it very responsive.

Sean’s ski is a 2021 Yamaha Super Jet with the RIVA Stage 1 Tune and a reflashed ECU. It has the cold air intake, RIVA Power Filter Kit, Free Flow Exhaust Tube, Solas 1217 Impeller, Kommander Scoop Grate, and the VK Composites Ride Plate.

The basis for this comparison is RIVA’s claim that the Stage 1 Tune gives a 5mph gain over the stock ski. RIVA has shown GPS readings of 63mph during some of their speed tests. During Zigler and Sean’s runs, the best that Sean’s SuperJet reached was a solid 58.9. and Ziglar’s SuperJet reached 54.9.

There were a few contributing factors for Sean’s ski not reaching the 5mph gain. First, the fact that his ski was nose heavy due the ride plate installed. It caused the ski to ride slower. Another factor was that the wind picked up and created some chop on the water when Sean made his run. Check out the clip for all the details.

It is informative and Zigler does well to explain the process and offers to answer any questions and to help you out.
