Sea-Doo ' s Explorer Pro offers features built for comfort in long distance hauls and pushes the limits of where a PWC can take riders . safer with pop-up cleats that safely store out of the way when not in use and a heavy-duty grab handle along the front of the PWC .
Sea-Doo also brought a fishing-focus to its Switch pontoon series with the Switch Fish . Available in 18- and 21-foot lengths , the Switch Fish takes the already popular pontoon platform and fully dresses it up for a day of non-stop fishing , with features such as factory-mounted helm and bow Garmin fish finders , a Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor , a 68L LinQ cooler and livewell , and storage for all of the tackle and rods once could need for a full day on the water .
A focus on fishing also came from Kawasaki ’ s MY 2025 Jet Ski launch in late January , with the debut of the builder ’ s new Ultra 160LX-S Angler .
Built on Kawasaki ’ s Ultra platform , the 160LX-S Angler features Kawasaki ’ s 1498cc inline four-cylinder marine engine , and 22.5-degree deep-v hull for rough water handling , a seven-inch Garmin Echomap navigation system with fish finder and chartplotter capabilities , rod holders in the front and rear , and a 14.5-gallon ORCA cooler .
With the hardcore angler in mind , Kawasaki also added axillary side floatation to the 160LX-S Angler for increased stability when drifting .
