GoDu 8.5 FlatDeck Model

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 6 or 8 hp outboard, the GoDu 8.5 is rated for a 10 hp motor. This means that even with three people + gear, the boat hops on plane and rides like its twice as big. Despite its smaller size, this boat is still stable enough to load on to 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 dinghy, this is the boat for you.

This model is called the FlatDeck because it has a welded in floor. The floor adds comfort and stability to standing and loading the boat at the cost of a few pounds of weight. It also keeps your feet your feet dry whenever there is a bit of water in the boat.

The FlatDeck floor is paired with our innovative Gear Storage Bulkhead for the ultimate in storage capacity when hauling equipment and supplies.

There is space under the FlatDeck floor to run your fuel hose in order to keep it out of the way of your feet and the sunshine, which greatly extends its lifespan.

At the back of the floor there is a nice large access for cleaning out the bilge of debris and using the transom plug.

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.
