Hey everyone.
We just purchased a brand new 2009 270 Select EX with a 496MAG 375HP engine.
We've had it out quite a few times in the month that we've had it so far. The mechanic at Sea Ray that gave us the demo on it when we bought it, said that he got it up to 59mph easily.
I was on flat calm water the other day and it seemed to max out at about 43mph.
I didn't have enough time to fiddle with the controls to see if I could get it going faster, but I don't imagine that the trim tabs lowering the bow a bit could achieve an extra 16mph. The engine was trimmed properly as well.
What could be the problem?
