So after playing with my new 13 foot Switch sport I like the boat a lot. But the performance just isn't what I thought it would be. The acceleration is ok and the handling is superb. My main issue is with top speed. I can't get it over 35 mph. At 35mph I'm at 7500 rpm, so I don't think it has more to offer. I had read online that some of the Switch models have a break in period programmed into the ECU that limits power until it reaches a certain period of time. I have heard both 6 and 10 hours.
When I was buying the boat I asked the service department about the reduced power during break in that I had read about. The service guy told me that he was fairly sure that was only for the supercharged models, But he then said he wasn't 100% sure about that. So right now I have 8.5 hours on the clock. So I guess I'll see if it gets any faster after 10 hours. But the service guy has me worried that this is it. I was really hoping I could get at least 40-45mph out of it. And of course the salesman told me it would do that.
So anyone out there have any experience with a 170 hp switch? How fast is yours?
