New to Sea-Doo? I'm sharing my 𝙎𝙚𝙖-𝘿𝙤𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙨, 𝘼𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙯𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙠𝙞 & 𝘿𝙔𝙄'𝙨: 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙏𝙤 𝙑𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙤𝙨
Hoping to inspire you to do the same. Get off the couch! It's never too late.
My name is Deric. I have been a Sea-Doo Owner since February 2023. My first ever ride on a Sea-Doo was a 2020 GTI-170. I was instantly HOOKED! With NO experience and NO knowledge, I started researching to upgrade my Sea-Doo options.
Then BOOM! I found the 2023 Sea-Doo GTX-230. An amazing machine!

Seems like people would be sucking up the mooring lines into their jetskis all the time. How deep is the water there? Seems like it would not be ideal to have to swim to shore all the time.
The looked so much fun. Great video. The only scary thing was seeing the trump flag 😞
Thank you for watching. It was such a great trip.
Hey new subscriber here. Awesome content watched most of your videos so far, I'm new to the sea doo world so learning a lot from all your videos keep the content going thanks for filming your amazing rides. Cheers
Hi and thank you for supporting the channel! Welcome to the Seadoo world! Did you just purchase a ski? And by the way, where are you watching my channel from? Are you in the US? Find me on instagram the_oceansideguy
@TheOceansideGuy yes just got one last weekend. 2024 gti se 170 loving it so far. I'm from Kelowna B.C. in canada. We are surrounded by lakes here and our summers are scorching hot so our waters are nice and warm. Hoping to drive down south one day and ride to Catalina looks fun and breathtaking
@@David_Truck Congratulations! You’re gonna have a BLAST! Let me know how it goes from time to time.
@TheOceansideGuy will do ill be watching all your new videos as they come 🤙
Welcome back. Welcome back to the channel. Welcome back. Welcome back. *ADS*
Yup! Welcome Back!
well explained 🙌🤝🙏
Thank you my friend!
How do you keep the Jet skis from bumping into each other when tied to the same rope?
The harbor is really calm. So no worries. If they were side by side we would put the sea-doo bumpers on.
Hi Deric, like the video good job, are you going or thinking about putting a Bilge Pump in your Sea-Doo that's something I'm thinking about doing to my Sea-Doo let me know and if you do are you going to video it thank you God bless bro.
That's the plan! Not something I have lined up right away but soon.
From someone who rides only in Canada , why don’t you use the side attachment on the ski why the front one ? Would it really offset the line that much ?
Great question. It puts too much pressure with the swell/ current. And with a rising tide it could pull the ski under if you were to clip to the side of the ski. The bow eyelet is designed for, anchoring and towing a ski. The bow eyelet is strong enough for those purposes. And you might have seen when the sand line is attached to the bow eyelet. It runs through smoothly, even if there is a carabiner attached. Hope that helps. Thanks for the question.
Nice video Deric and P.J. It was clearly explained. 👍👍👍
Thank you, Gil! You got to make your way over to two harbors.
@@TheOceansideGuy I agree, hopefully soon.
Great video and information for those of us who never used a mooring before. Looking forward to meeting you guys next week!!!
Yes Sir. Thank you!
Thanks for the info. Never used a mooring.
Thank you. When I first had to tie up to a mooring, I had no idea. It was then I knew I needed to make a video.
Nice new graphic. 😃
Thank you
Hi haw much difference does it make do you get more top end thinking about doing it to my 2021 gti 170 wake
@@michaelgiddens3313 the intake grate is amazing. Really helps you stick to the water more. Better control.
How do you got that GoPro mounted to your vest
The GoPro stick is not mounted. I have it tucked into my vest, which is a perfect fit.
How do you have your GoPro mounted to your vest?
I took the GoPro stick into my straps.
Wow looks great my woman wants hers like this now
Thank you. So where are you watching the channel from?
You didn’t do a video how you change the colors on your GTX????
I don’t have a step-by-step video. But I did do a lot of KZread shorts on it.
How did you do that to your gtx? And how did you make the seats black?
I replaced the seat cover. Here is the video on how I did that. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y32B2sh7pdS2oNI.htmlsi=_LDHT1RNghpxEmO_
I can’t find no GTX dark stealth edition.
The GTX does not come in black on black
How did you get your gtx black?
I just changed out all of the decals and seat cover. Ordered the decals from the Seadoo that does come in black.
Do they have them in black?
They do not come in black. Just the metal. I am looking to get them powder coated.
Save your money that are absolute garbage
Thanks
Easiest boat you will ever drive...
Yes it was and is!
Learned something at the invasive species inspection about these. The way they are built they likely cannot pass inspection if they come from a known body if water with banned invasive species. The panel joints pose a serious threat for harboring invasive species and cannot be effectively inspected or treated.
Please explain. Not sure what you’re talking about.
Drink everytime he says " switch it up"
I gotta say, I was excited to switch it up.
@TheOceansideGuy ok I'm drunk

Best quality in a boat is reliability and these have that.
Nice. Thanks for the feedback. I could definitely see the quality. Seriously thinking about getting one.
Ive had mine for a month now and i love mine. Got mine to nearly 50 the other day. Handles the chop great, smooth at slower speeds and we got the boat off the water a few times at higher speed. Basically a family sized PWC.
Very nice! So where are you chiming in from? What state are you in? Thanks for supporting the channel!
@@TheOceansideGuy I'm up in North East Georgia.
@@TheOceansideGuy just got back from a day on the lake. Had a lot of fun.
@@jkosh2046very cool!
very easy to do by one person just got to get used to
Nice! Just like anything else, practice, practice, practice. Right?
Can't afford that or the truck to pull it. Plan on winning the lotto some day though. 😂
Plan to WIN!
I would like to take it to Bimini it’s a big sea doo jet boat lol
That would be a great ride!
@@TheOceansideGuy I live in fl on the west coast in Sarasota fl
You guys really were that inconsiderate and got on that pontoon without removing your shoes after stepping in all that sh*t that was on the dock?
Im not sure what you are trying to point out. We all got on the Switch the same way. Even the owners did. From the gravel to the docks and on the Switch.
You do realize that not everyone cares about shoes on a pontoon boat or boats for that matter. I know it’s a weird concept to think that people have different views than you.
@shakapiphawaii it's just ignorant is all I'm saying to wear your dirty shoes on someone else's boat. It's similar to someone wearing their shoes into your bedroom at home that has carpet or a family or living room that has carpet.
@@bravocompany1072 it’s not ignorant if the owner allows it. Making comments about situations you don’t understand makes you ignorant. You can’t always assume everyone does things your way.
@shakapiphawaii it is common courtesy when on someone else's craft. You shouldn't have to even ask if they want you to remove your shoes. Just do it and you will be invited out next time.
yea... launch mine by myself. Love it. My girlfriend rides PWCs so she can drive it without issues as well. 18" Sport 230hp
Very Cool! Thanks for sharing! What state are you in?
@@TheOceansideGuy 2 places actually... have a house in Encinitas and one in Yuma. Yuma has all my river/desert toys...😂
@@samcarnibucci9094 Very nice! Hope to see on the water soon.
I see someone mentioned anti-seize on the spark pug threads: 100% that. At least as important- your spark plug insertion method is vulnerable to cross threading and thread stripping. That spark plug socket is designed to retain a plug via friction. Insert plug into socket, insert extension into socket, then guide the plug into threaded hole and start insertion **by hand** before putting a wrench to it. 100% there's a torque setting for those plugs- use a torque wrench.
Thank you for the added wisdom. That was my very first oil and spark plug change. I have learned a lot since then.
There’s a seadoo switch limited they just came out with it’s a little more upscale from the other models
Yes. 21 footer Sea-Doo switch limited. Many more upgrades. I believe the whole design and the overall triune design is all the same.
I’d like to take one of these over to Catalina island
That is the goal. Just wanna make sure we have the right weather conditions.
Cool machine and I would have loved to see a bit more detailed workaround of the different features on it. Keep up the work.
@@patriklundgren1029 100% agreed! As this was our first time on their Sea-Doo switch. I didn’t want to overwhelm my stay but got a chance to go over just a couple of features. We will be welcomed back on the Sea-Doo Switch again. I’m sure I’ll be able to go over more features in detail. Thank you for your comment and thank you for supporting the channel!
Very slow boat 😂👍🏻
KOOL
Thx
We saw one of those capsized on my lake on Sunday.. The driver was surprised by a wave pitched over to the port side and just continued to roll over. The scary part is the lake was really calm on Sunday. So I’d hate to see what it would actually do in the rough.
Oh wow! That’s very scary. It’s not like you can flip it over like a JetSki. I’m wondering if the switch that you saw was the compact sport. I think those things are only 12 feet long so I could see that they could capitalize easily.
@@TheOceansideGuy It wasn’t the 21. It looked to be about 18 feet. They towed it in and used a marina sling crane to first roll it over then hoist it out of the river. The tried to right it out in the lake but there was just no way.
@@Twin-Kyle oh wow. Total loss
@@TheOceansideGuyDon’t think so. Said they already got the engine running. The Bimini cover was destroyed tho.
@@Twin-Kyleya I could see that
They are neat boats,and I love the price. Although they do have some downsides as well. I'm still on the fence with them.
Yes. Price point is good. Tell me your downsides. Im thinking about getting one.
@@TheOceansideGuy not to be overly negative, but since you asked. I think they look and feel cheap with way too much plastic and flimsy and short fencing. Also the accessories can be expensive. Finally, I love that it comes with a trailer, but I'm pretty sure it is a painted steel trailer. I'd rather have an aluminum one.
@@WeekendersontheWater I like your feedback. Some people give me feedback and are so rude. Thats why I asked you because I know you would be honest and still have a good attitude. So, thank you. And yes, accessories are VERY expensive. Well, its SeaDoo.
@@WeekendersontheWateryou have an option to get galvanized
You can actually camp on these things as well there’s a camp kit that seadoo makes that covers the whole boat! It would be great to camp out in Avalon!
Can we get a video of you trying the rxpx 325 lol
Sure. If somone wants to let me borrow their 325 or even RXT X 300
Hey Deric, you're not going to (Switch) on us. no pun intended LOL.
😂
Yes, It will be great to have these Gentlemen come to Catalina, with the PWC group next summer. Great video !!!
@@giljunior7494 Ya. We will have to test out the Switch first on some medium to rough ocean water first before we cross to Catalina. We might launch it from Davies Ramp in Long Beach and head to Two Harbors. Only 30 miles. The owners realy want to get the Switch out in the water and go to Catalina. We'll see.
Man I gotta join I think You guys are far tho.
Where are you?
Excellent video well done #wcwcc_pwc
Thank you Sir!
I live in Arizona and would like to join you on one of your next trips. Let me know if I can.
Where in AZ are you? I was just at Willow Beach, AZ.
@@TheOceansideGuy Safford, I have never rode salt water and would like to. Also would like to join on another AZ run if you come back
@@kleveshellhorn6436 I will be going back to Willow Beach Arizona or hit lake Mead in mid September. Would love to have you along! Find me on Instagram much easier to keep in touch. @the_oceansideguy
What seat is that on your 2023?
@@Bwatt5000 it’s the original seat. I put a new seat cover on it. Here is the video I did on installing the new seat cover. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y32B2sh7pdS2oNI.html
@@TheOceansideGuy wow, thanks. Looks great!
@@Bwatt5000 thank you!
Good idea. My back deck is definitely all marred from those bolts. I take mine off after every ride.
I also wonder if maybe it would be worth super gluing them to the deck. That way when you take the deck off you don't have to worry about losing them.
@@WeekendersontheWater agreed. One person had mentioned that it would be a good idea to use some silicone to attach the washer to the deck. And what you are saying is a great idea. Even a friend of mine had suggested that they be made with some type of sticky backing so they connect to the deck.
@@WeekendersontheWater my next step is to get them powder coated, black, then use the silicone idea and put them back on.
@@TheOceansideGuy yes, black would be nice. Especially after all the effort you have put in to go nearly all black on your ski.
