Godfrey Marine, manufacturer of pontoons built with enduring quality and superior craftsmanship, announced today a series of innovative new Performance Tube Packages for its 2021 model year boats, the Innovative Marine Power and Control Technology (iMPACT+) system.

Increasing both passenger capacity and maximum engine power, the new surfaces deliver a substantially stronger platform and more efficient ride.

With its integrated system of continuous saddles, full tube length lifting strakes and full-length under-deck skin that curves at the top of the tubes, every iMPACT+ Performance Tube Package for model year 2021 provides increased rigidity that improves overall boat efficiency. The largest gains are most notable in higher horsepower offerings resulting in increased top speed and better fuel economy compared to the Performance Tube Packages from Godfrey model year 2020 - top industry performers in their own right.

"The application and integration of the iMPACT+ system technology into our other Performance Tube platforms is a true game changer," said Wally Ross, director of product management and marketing, Godfrey Marine. "It's not often that you see such a step-change improvement in efficiency from a technology that results in both higher top speed and better fuel economy. This innovation and forward thinking is what has established us as a recognized leader in an industry that we established in 1958."

2021 Godfrey Performance Tube Packages include:

  • The 27-inch Sport Tube Package with a ¾ length 27-inch diameter center tube in front of the standard motor pan in conjunction with 25-inch diameter outer tubes.
  • The 29-inch Sport Tube Package with a ¾ length 29-inch diameter center tube in front of the standard motor pan in conjunction with 27-inch diameter outer tubes.
  • The GTP (Godfrey Tri-Power) 27-inch Center Tube Package with a full length 27-inch diameter center tube with integrated motor pod and 45-gallon fuel tank in conjunction with 25-inch outer tubes.
  • The Innovative Marine Power and Control Technology (iMPACT+) 29-inch Center Tube Package has a full-length 29-inch diameter center tube with integrated motor pod and a 61-gallon fuel tank in conjunction with 27-inch diameter outer tubes.

New Godfrey Performance Tube Packages are available on the Sweetwater, Monaco, AquaPatio and Sanpan family of boats as optional or standard equipment, depending on the model. Godfrey 2021 model boats are available through Godfrey's network of dealers.
