Yes! We offer Powder Coating options on request.

We recommend a short shaft motor, but a long shaft would work too.

Like all flat back boats, the GoDu is not a rowing dinghy. We include a collapsing paddle for those rare occasions when you are operating in quarters too tight for outboard motor use.

Aluminum is strong, lightweight and durable. It is also the most prevalent and recyclable metal found on earth. Marine grade aluminum naturally oxidizes with exposure to oxygen, creating a self healing protective coating that requires no maintenance.

The bumper is made of a high density closed cell foam and covered with a heavy acrylic canvas cover, providing superb impact protection and abrasion resistance. Rest assured it will not scratch the mothership!

Welded aluminum boats are very easily repaired, but if your boat was ever damaged beyond repair it is 100% recyclable. A durable boat with sustainability in mind!

The GoDu 10.5 is made in North America! Welded in Ontario, Canada and assembled in Florida, USA.

We will be adding new models that will include a floor and a bow locker in the near future. Our mailing list will keep you updated on our newest model releases.

Due to the scale of recreational boat production in the U.S., the United States Coast Guard offers limited options for calculating power capacity and as such the GoDu 10.5 is currently limited to 20 hp in U.S. waters.

Non-U.S. residents can run a larger motor at their discretion.

When in the water, the temperature of the aluminum stays quite reasonable.
When out of the water- the aluminum can get hot to the touch.
We have carefully engineered our SeaDek to protect bare skin when using the boat.

If you are concerned about the temperature of the aluminum, consider our powder coating options.

We want the GoDu to be the last dinghy you’ll ever buy. Read the nitty gritty of our limited lifetime warranty here.
