See full version: Every Vehicle Should Be Built Like The Weird Sea-Doo Switch
Right now, the deck accessories are largely limited to furniture, storage, coolers, fuel caddies and fishing accessories. However, BRP left the door wide open for expanding the concept further. The company will also offer the LinQ tiles separately so you turn your dock into a modular deck. No need for deck furniture when you can use the furniture straight from the boat. here
The Switch’s modularity is so neat and so easy that it makes me wish other vehicles were built like this. Forget about offering a million different layouts for an RV when you can offer one and let the customer decide how they want it. Automakers have played around with modularity to a degree. Cars like the Smart Fortwo offer body panels that can be easily switched out for different colors or patterns. [links]
(Full Disclosure: Bombardier Recreational Products and Backbone Media invited me out to Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota to play with some Sea-Doo Switch prototypes for a couple of days. They covered travel, lodging and dining for the duration of the event.)
“ Seriously, boaters actually turned their crafts around and chased down the Switch prototypes just to figure out what they just saw blow past them.” [links]
Nestled inside of the hull is a Rotax 1630 ACE jet propulsion system ranging from 100 HP to a supercharged 230 HP. The higher horsepower models are good for far more fun than you’d think a pontoon could deliver . And you pilot the thing from a helm with a handlebar instead of a wheel.

Sea-Doo’s Switch is a customizable hybrid between a jetski and a party boat.
The Switch all starts with the 1630 Rotax ACE engine. Depending on the spec, you’ll get anywhere from 100-230 horsepower. Unfortunately, Sea-Doo doesn’t drop the top-end 300 horsepower, 8,000 RPM Rotax into the Switch line. We’re not sure why, because it does sound fun; we assume that may either flip the boat over or push the legal limits of this particular recreational watercraft. more
Add the customizable deck that lets you swap seats and components to optimize performance or pleasure, and you’ve got a pontoon we’d like to board!
