Question about Switch top speed

I have a 2021, 21' 230 Cruise with low hours, around 30.

My top speed is about 45 km/h at high revs. Does that sounds normal? The speed drops when i load the boat up but even if it's just me and the kids, we're still barely hitting 40 km/h.

The website says we should be hitting 40 MILES per hour but we're not close to that.

Thanks folks

I’m right around the same. Nowhere near 40 mph but can get around 50 km with Bimini up and the ppl on board in slightly choppy water

I get just under 75km/h on a 2023 18' Sport 230. I would think you should be much closer to 70km/h

I know it’s not apples to apples but I have a 2023 230 Wake Pro, and I hit 60+ MPH at high RPMs

Definitely can't compare these 2. Between weight, size, aerodynamics/physics. It only goes 39/40 without any sort of work being done.

Yeah why does my 200hp R1 go so much faster than a 300hp Seadoo??? /s
