Marty - do you mind sharing any mark up they charged or freight fee? My local dealer is adding the $500 commodity fee, which seems to be a SeaDoo add-on, plus a $500 dealer mark up (I’ll shop around), but for the 18’ Sport he said $4,000 freight fee? I know for boats there is such a high fee for transportation but that much or at all for SeaDoo?

That's definitely a huge freight fee for a boat, especially something as small an 18'. It really all comes down to supply and demand right now. I would shop around and see what other quotes you can get, but if you have to have it, but you might end up paying a lot more than the normal going rate.

I called a few more dealers around and so far the freight is ranging from $3,995 to $5,500. One dealer said there is little mark up on these so dealers are adding to the freight rather than an additional dealer mark up (ADM). I was also told the $500 commodity was to offset the additional freight charges paid by BRP during this time, but this came from a dealer so whatever that is worth.

Ordered 18’ Sport 230. Now what are the mods for this version of the 230?

I would be interested in mods as well. I hope to get mine in Dec. but dealer said Jan. I wish now I had gotten the 13 ft.

The 170 Compact Sport (13') is 23,999 plus $500 commodity and $1,500 Mandatory Freight.
So $26,000 plus?? I,m getting a 2022 spark 3 up and for the First time in 16 skies there is a mandatory $500 freight. I never paid freight or prep before but the demand for product is Greater because of covid.

[rx4pain]

Looking at my order and I see $4500 for freight and $500 dealer prep. I can't recall, but I think the $4500 includes the $500 commodity and the dealer prep is just that and not BRP's commodity. Total for my 18' 230 is $42,847 and that includes the above, $3,662 in sales tax, $3,237 in accessories and licensing fees.

$42k sounds fair for everything delivered to you.

Marty - did you get your Switch? I ended up passing on it this year and first in line at my local dealer for 2023. Curious which one you got, your thoughts about power and any mods.

[rx4pain]

Wow...I can't believe there is absolutely no worthy content on this forum or anywhere about this boat. Majority of YouTube vids are demos in controlled situations. Crickets when you ask about mods, yet it uses the same engine as all the newer PWC except Spark so what gives? I know there were production delays, but we're almost out of the '22 season and I know a boatload were delivered so where are these owners?

[K447]

- I know a boatload were delivered -

You have information regarding the volume of Switch boats actually delivered to customers?

[rx4pain]

I don’t have numbers but know in my state and the two bordering states none are available and all dealers contacted said their allocated 22’s were sold. Local dealer had one, was already sold, and picked up next day. So I know they’ve built some if not half or more. Or assume if this forum is one of the largest SeaDoo forums that you’d hear something either way; pissed postings because they haven’t got them yet or thumbs up or down after getting them. But nothing?
