We call the GoDu 8.5: The Biggest Little Boat In Its Class.
While most boats 8.5 feet in length are only rated for a 4 or 6 hp outboard, the GoDu 8.5 is rated for a 10 hp motor and planes with two people aboard. Take it further by adding a hydrofoil fin and adjusting your prop pitch, and the performance will keep coming to life. Despite its smaller size, this boat is still stable enough to load onto the toons, just like its bigger sister, the GoDu 10.5
If your mothership only has room for a smaller dinghy, but you desire the performance and comfort of a full-size one, this is the boat for you.
The raw aluminum is specially selected to stand the test of time. The more scars it gains, the more character it maintains. Beat it, beach it, or bash it. May every well earned scratch, ding, and scar be a testament to your adventures.
