For those who wish to build their own boat, Arrow Shark Hobby offers "hull only" versions of our factory-finished Ready-To-Run models. This approach gives you the benefit of a proven hull design and allows you to install your own engine, hardware and radio.

For 2010, all our hulls come fully factory-painted complete with signwriting and decals using the same graphics and hi-tech automotive paints as our RTR boats. This gives you a colorful, fully finished and gleaming boat that saves you time and money, allowing you to concentrate on the engineering installation of your favorite power plant, running hardware and radio system.

Our Octane 45 deep vee hull has a unique dual-recessed foredeck and ventilation slots whilst the central cockpit canopy leads back to an appealing aft deck with triple peaks atop the transom that subtly hint at the performance potential of the boat. Beneath the waterline, the Octane 45 uses the same high performance and superior handling lines as our Wind Rider, so there can be no doubt of the potent performance you will achieve. For 2010, we have increased the size of the Octane 45 for even better handling and it now measures 50inches long (1,270mm) with a beam of 14.7inches (373mm). Also for 2010, we have re-designed the hatch so that it runs full-width to the transom for excellent access inside when you are fitting your engine and radio system.

The Octane 45 comes with a factory-joined hull and deck that use top quality fiberglass and resins to give a lightweight yet strong boat. The hull-deck join is now reinforced with dual layers of fibreglass and the installed engine stringers are at the industry-standard 5inch spacing with cut-outs ready for your engine installation. There's also a plywood reinforcement for the transom, and a fully formed canopy hatch.
