A personal watercraft has a hull, a deck, a motor, a motor control unit operatively connected to the motor for controlling at least one parameter associated with the motor, a seat assembly including a seat portion selectively connected to the deck, and a raised seating system including a seat support selectively connected to the deck for selectively supporting the seat portion above the deck. A sensor is connected to at least one of the hull and the deck and is communicating with the motor control unit. In response to the seat support being connected to the deck, the sensor detects a presence of the seat support, and in response to the sensor detecting the presence of the seat support, the motor control unit limits at least one of the at least one parameter associated with the motor. A method for adjusting performance of a personal watercraft is also provided.
