We bought a 9.80 with 2x Nanni 200 last year and have been living on it the last three months.
We are very happy with it so far, access round the engines is very good so getting to everything is easy.
Service parts cheap and readily available once cross references sorted. findings.
The rpm /speed table above concurs with our findings.

@dpb Good to know there is another 9.80 owner on here. I had toyed with starting a 9.80 thread but didn't think there would be a lot of interest.

We bought ours last October after a lot of researching and have to say it is a great boat for us.

Have you ever figured out what the "confort" breaker does or how to activate the engine room fans ? ??

Cheers

After living in France for a few years when I stared looking for a boat I was amazed at how many boats there were for sale. And I bought one and brought it back to the UK, I would certainly look on the French Websites to see how much they are compared to the UK Although the Euro is very high at the moment. "Announces" is a good French boating magazine to get.

Having been researching all the EU sales sites, the shortage of popular small to mid range boats is just as acute over there.
Many boats still listed for sale will be long gone.
A recent email to a french broker required 2 weeks to receive the reply t..........the boat was long gone.

One well known Essex boatyard still has a advert online advertising a very desirable and much sought after UK boat, needing some work, at an amazing Pre staycation/Covid price.
Sold ages ago ?

The 'comfort' breaker remains a mystery.
Our engine room fans come on when ignition switched on....and stay on all the while engines running.

Quite, I get that, but my point being that the same hull moving at the same speed through the water would need the same amount of force. The Nannis obviously produce that force more efficiently even though they are revving higher. Just interesting.
