2016 GTX Limited iS 260 - no power

Good day everyone. I have a technical problem and hopefully someone can help. I took my 2016 GTX out to the lake this weekend to dock for the season. As I went to take my inaugural ride, I found that my ski will only go at a top speed of about 30 mph at full throttle. my unit is super charged so I placed the ski in sport mode which should produce about a 70 mph ride. Same result. I changed the oil at the end of last season. I live in Ohio, Ohio, and I store the unit in a heated garage over the winter months with a full tank of premium gas and use fuel stabilizer. The ski has about 120 hours. The supercharger was inspected by the local Sea-Doo service provider in Pittsburgh before the start of last season and things were in good order. Not sure what the cause of this problem may be. I see no error codes. Checked key limit programming not an issue. I did not change plugs for a full season. I have seen some threads on this forum discussing similar issues, but not necessarily on my make and model ski. if you have some suggestions on what the problem may be would really appreciate it. We only have a few local dealers and I probably would not be able to get service until the end of the season. That obviously is a killer! Feedback appreciated. Thx again
 
Something bad happened when you changed the oil last fall. Overfilled the oil quantity, fouled the plugs? 95% of the time when something is working and then it doesn't its what was done to it in between.
 
I always start by changing spark plugs and making sure oil level is where it should be, between the marks on the stick. Fortunately, most of the time (I think every time) spark plugs correct any performance issue I have had.
