Ride Features

The Switch Cruise 18 230 combines a supercharged engine with modular lounge seating, making it suited to families that want more power for a loaded boat or towing while keeping an 18-foot platform. The exact tow-sport equipment, audio package, and passenger capacity should be verified against the specific boat’s build sheet and capacity plate.

iBR and iTC can help with controlled reverse, braking, and selected operating modes, but they cannot replace safe speed, careful docking, a lookout, or correct passenger positioning. Actual performance changes with load, water state, temperature, elevation, maintenance, and operating style.

Ownership Notes

Use fuel meeting BRP’s octane requirement, keep up with oil, coolant, battery, iDF, and jet-pump maintenance, and follow storage/winterization procedures. Inspect the intake, reverse gate, deck modules, tow point, reboarding hardware, and safety gear before each departure.

Use U.S. Coast Guard-approved PFDs, attach the engine shutoff lanyard, keep passengers clear of the jet-pump intake and thrust zone, obey local towing and boating regulations, and never operate under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Before Ordering

Confirm current U.S. availability, 230 hp package equipment, passenger and load limits, trailer requirements, listed dry weight, optional audio/tow-sport features, dealer charges, registration requirements, storage space, and warranty coverage before ordering.
