Altitude can change your rpms and top speed. Comparing to someone else's boat is no bueno unless you're on the same lake. BRP supposedly makes a different pitch impeller for high altitude that should give you higher RPMs. But I think that is for like 3-4,000 feet above sea level. Where do you ride? What altitude?

Have you owned it since new? Low rpm can be caused by low power output, software limiting the rpm , too much impeller (if someone changed it), possibly the pump bearings going bad. Tell us a bit more of the history behind it. Does it go above 7200 rpm on the way to 62mph? I think US versions of the 260 were limited to 65mph.
I just bought it recently. The driveshaft stripped the first day I had it out. My luck. Runs perfect. No miss, no hesitation. 7200 is max at full throttle. Doesn’t go above it. Right at 62 on the speedo. I put new impellar, driveshaft , wear ring, carbon ring on it. It runs the same as it did before all that. 108 hrs on it. Changed nose cone grease. The pump spun smooth. I do have a water leak that I’m having a hell of a time tracking down. It’s not the carbon ring. Doesn’t leak much. A few inches in hull. Antifreeze level doesn’t drop.

Are you sure the water leak isn't from water leaking in the two rear hatches? I get a little water in the hull in choppy conditions and when beached if passing boats cause wash which splashes over the transom. I asked the service bloke about it and that's where he said they can leak and also under the seat as the seal is not compressed.
