So after only a few minutes, I felt comfortable driving it.<\/p>\n<p>The learning curve is short and it is very intuitive to drive. In addition to being simple, its handling is<strong> dynamic and very responsive<\/strong>, even at low speeds. The boat can turn on itself easily and quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever maneuvers you want to make, you can do them efficiently at low or high speed. In addition, you can benefit from <strong>the cruise control,<\/strong> which allows you to enjoy your ride to the fullest![\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;20149&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Its brake and reverse system really gave me confidence and with these features, <strong>parking a boat<\/strong> like this <strong>has never been easier.<\/strong> Mooring a boat is a concern for many people, myself included, so it&#8217;s a relief to know that it&#8217;s simple with the Switch. If you ever miss, since the hull is plastic, there&#8217;s less chance of breakage.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, these are the <strong>same Rotax engines<\/strong> as the personal watercrafts. Since the engine is not outboard, <strong>space is maximized<\/strong> and the draft is less important. Another stress less!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really the watercraft feeling, but on a pontoon.<\/p>\n<p>It must be said that it was really designed to free you from the stresses of driving a pontoon boat, especially when you are a beginner, like me![\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;20151&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anecdote_from_a_gaffer%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Anecdote from a gaffer&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During the event, we had the chance to be filmed and photographed and I have a little anecdote about that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am the queen of gaffes,<\/strong> while I was concentrated to follow the instructions for the camera, two big waves surprised me (the other people on board and me).
