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 Wind Rider hull was inspired by the renowned World Offshore Championship OuterLimits XXX monohull. It has a proven deep vee hull design beneath a streamlined deck featuring a sleek midships cockpit canopy and a power-implied raised gun'l line either side of the aft engine hatch. This boat has exceptional handling even in choppy waters, and the design's turning abilities exceed nearly every other monohull on the market. For 2010, we have increased the size of the Wind Rider for even better handling and it now measures 50inches long (1,270mm) with a beam of 14.7inches (373mm).
The Wind Rider 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.
