The 8.5-foot GoDu aluminum dinghy provides a stable, flat-bottomed alternative to traditional inflatable tenders for world cruising.0:57 Weighing approximately 164 pounds with an optional bow locker and flat floor, the vessel features C-Deck foam lining and a protective bumper cover that simplifies maintenance compared to complex dinghy chaps.1:13 The rigid hull design offers superior stability for boarding from the water and eliminates the need for balancing on inflatable tubes.4:37 However, the hard aluminum construction requires caution when maneuvering near other vessels to avoid hull damage.8:14 Performance with a 9.8-horsepower Tohatsu two-stroke outboard initially proved sluggish under load, failing to plane with minimal cargo.11:54 Replacing the stock propeller with an 8.5-inch by 7.5-inch pitch prop significantly improved hole-shot performance, allowing the dinghy to plane while carrying additional weight.13:15 Proper weight distribution and correct propeller pitch are essential for optimizing the performance of this aluminum tender when paired with a lightweight 9.8-horsepower motor.21:31
