Scarab 195, do ramp choices really work?

I just purchased a 2023 195 Wake Edition and I’m frustrated with the Ramp settings. I’ve been skiing and wakeboarding for 30 yrs mostly with ski/wakeboard boats. I understood that this Jetboat wouldn’t perform like the other boats but…….the ramp settings are unusable. I wake at 21mph and have tried all 5 ramp settings. #1 setting is way to slow on the take off, as is #2, #3, and #4. However, #5 take off is good and strong up to around 11mph, then the rpm’s drop and getting from 11mph to 21mph takes forever(well maybe 10 sec which is a long time when your getting dragged in the water). I only wiegh 170lbs. If we use no ski mode and do it manually the boat gives me a good strong pull all the way to 21mph. Any idea what’s going on? Is my boat the only one that works this way? Is there a software update?
