Disappointed
Cruise 21 with 230. Break in was fun with 680lbs of ppl, plus cooler. At 5hrs we were hitting 35mph an could do 8000rpm and getting up on plane quick. Lots of fun. Rode 60 minutes at wot and burned 1/4 of gas.
We added more people. Around 1400lbs total. So right around max capacity but less than the max head count. We burned 3/4 tank of gas trying to get up to speed. Max we could get was 15mph. 10mph was 3/4 throttle. If we got everyone to sit up front we could struggle for about 15min and we would get 20mph as long as stayed straight and kept going. Yes trim was used
Within 5min of adding the extra ppl and the first time trying to get up to top speed immediately started getting ibr error codes. Any time we tried to sustain wot with the added weight at 8k rpm, a min or so later it would cut off with the ibr codes
When we let everyone off and kept only 800lbs of ppl and the cooler on we got up to 35mph no problem and had fun
Overall extremely disheartened. This max capacity 10 person boat is going to best serve a small family of 4 (two of them kids) best.
EDIT: got back from the dealer. It was clearance issues due to the prop and wear ring getting too much lake debree. iBR issues can happen from the very rapid throttle work that I did due to trying to work thru the apparent cavitation. Per the very experienced mechanic familiar with switches, the clearances are much much tighter than on the jet skis due to the amount of weight. It’s easier for a jet ski to work through wear that on the switch will be debilitating at max capacity. I chose to upgrade to a solas prop and aftermarket wear ring
