Here on the left coast, most if not all of the dinghy docks limit the size of the tender to 14'. Our little Achilles RIB does a great job of getting us to and from the Sea Ray, but it would be nice to have a larger boat, up to the 14' limit to use to explore Catalina and cruise around the harbor. Looking at all of the options out there, I ran across a new offering from Sea Doo. They now produce the 13' Sea Doo Switch Compact which is a Tri Toon hull using a PWC propulsion system. The Sport model comes standard with a nice bimini top and 170 hp engine. The beam is 7’8”so it looks like a little block to me. It's a little funky to say the least. The deck is different in that you can move the seats to various locations with a lock type system and they have other options such as a lounge chair. Price wise for the base is around 20k and the Sport is in the mid 20s. They all come with a trailer. I like it!
