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 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 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 Expedition (EXP) because it is the most versatile and capable boat we offer. Our lightest model and equipped with our innovative Gear Storage Bulkhead, this boat carries more equipment and supplies than any other boat in our line-up.
Perfect for a myriad of tasks and good times from SCUBA to free-diving, fishing to spearing, the EXP is set-up to aid you in your adventures. The Gear Storage Bulkhead keeps everything in the bow where it belongs and out of the way of your feet and walking space.
Unlike our FlatDeck and MAX models, the EXP does not have a flat floor nor a bow locker. This allows for ample space and extra pounds available for all the stuff your adventure demands. Due to the flat toons, loading in and out of the boat, even without the FlatDeck, is simple and convenient.
The EXP is the GoDu founders favorite model due to its simplicity and equipment capacity. Pile it sky high in the bow and keep your feet clear of clutter while out on the water.
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.
