Godfrey Monaco 255 SBC: Split Bench Pontoon with Co-Captain's Chair and 450 hp

1. General Information

The Godfrey Monaco 255 SBC pairs the Split Bench layout with the Co-Captain's Chair configuration on the larger 255 platform of Godfrey's redesigned Monaco series, the family pontoon range named a 2026 Boating Industry Top Product. At 7.85 m overall with a 2.59 m beam, it carries up to 14 passengers and accepts outboards of up to 450 hp. The Split Bench layout is designed to maximise passenger space and storage, and the co-captain's seating gives a second guest a place up front beside the driver. As an open deck boat there are no cabins or galley; the deck is devoted to comfortable seating, storage and open-air enjoyment.

2. Construction and Design

The Monaco 255 SBC rides on 25-inch outer pontoon tubes with marine-grade decking and Godfrey's exclusive Slipstream motorpan. Four tube packages are available: a 25- or 27-inch two-tube set-up, a 27-inch Sport Tube, a 27-inch iMPACT triple tube, or a 29-inch iMPACT+ triple tube for bigger water. A dry weight of 1,179 kg and a standard 114 L fuel tank keep it practical, while the modern exterior styling and new rail system give it a contemporary look.
