Double Bow Locker
We are super proud of the extra roomy locker. Our demo boat has a 12 gallon tank, fuel water separator, and fits vests, backpacks and lots of shoes. The forward locker is for your anchor. It sports a cleat, room for anchor, rode, and more. There is even a special cutout for your bowline to cleanly store with lid shut.
-
Tow Bar
Yes, the tow bar is also standard. And its sweet. It toolless removal makes popping it in and out a breeze. Its the same diameter as wake board boat tow bars and fishing boat bars. This means a world of accessories can be attached.

FAQs
Short or long shaft outboard?
Long Shaft.
Where are the oars?
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.
Why aluminum?
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.
What is the bumper?
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!
Is my GoDu recyclable?
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!
Where is it made?
The GoDu 8.5 is made in North America! Welded in Ontario, Canada and assembled in Virginia, USA.
How much HP?
The GoDu 12.5 Tiller Model is rated for a 40 hp outboard.
The Side Console Model is rated for a 60hp outboard.
Does the aluminum get too hot to touch?
When in the water, the temperature of the aluminum stays quite reasonable. Aluminum dissipates heat well, so once underway, the boat cools considerably.
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.
Lifetime Warranty?!
We want the GoDu to be the last dinghy you’ll ever buy. Read the nitty gritty of our limited lifetime warranty here.
How should I care for my GoDu?
Great question! Check out our Owner’s User Manual here.
Keel Guard?
How do you know if you need a keel guard?
Keel guards protect the bow weld on the hull of the boat from impacts and abrasion. The drawback is that they tend to be heavy.
Sand, like sand-paper, will eventually (someday) wear through the hull of your boat if you drag the hull through the wet sand on a regular basis.
If you are someone who can carry the bow of the boat over the sand 98% of the time, you likely do not need a keel guard.
If you are not strong enough, or simply do not want to physically carry the boat, but instead need or prefer to drag the boat across the sand: you should get a keel guard.
Another reason to get a keel guard is if you cruise in an area where you are likely to bash into rocks on a regular basis.
