A high-performance cruiser
At 9.8 metres in length overall (LOA) with a 3.6-metre beam when inflated, the JP CODE 9.8 is a substantial RIB (rigid inflatable boat) built for both comfort and performance. Its deep-V hull, boasting a 23-degree deadrise, ensures exceptional handling and stability in challenging conditions.
With a hull draft of just 0.7 metres, this craft is equally adept at navigating shallow coastal waters and tackling offshore journeys. Propelled by the powerful 600HP Mercury Verado 7.6L V12 outboard, the JP CODE 9.8 offers a thrilling maximum speed of over 50 knots. For those seeking a more leisurely experience, its cruising speed of 28 knots provides a balance of efficiency and comfort, with a range of 280 nautical miles on a single tank.
