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.

Arrow Shark's 45inch (1,143mm) Raptor hull has been bred for speed with its swept-back styling and aft-mounted sponsons either side of a center hull that projects far forward for longitudinal stability. The streamlined canopy of the Raptor flows back to form a cowl for the tuned pipe on your engine. This aft-sponson hydro delivers excellent handling and ultimate speeds.

The Raptor 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, a fully formed canopy hatch and pre-installed air scoop
