Key Features
- Genuine OEM Component — This is an authentic UDI RC manufacturer part, not an aftermarket reproduction, ensuring it meets the exact specifications and quality standards set by the original engineering team and will perform identically to the original component on your Inkfish JetBoat.
- Dual Compatibility — Designed to fit both the UDI023 standard brushed jet boat and the UDI023PRO brushless high-performance variant, giving you flexibility whether you're running the entry-level or advanced model platform and allowing you to stock a single spare for either configuration.
- 362mm Inkfish Platform — Purpose-built for the full-sized 362mm Inkfish JetBoat chassis, ensuring precision fitment without gaps, movement, or alignment issues that could compromise hydrodynamic performance or cause water ingress during operation.
- High-Quality Construction — Manufactured using the same materials and processes as the original hull, providing excellent durability against the repeated impacts, abrasion and water exposure that jet boats experience during active use in lakes, ponds and river environments.
- Easy Installation — As a direct replacement part, installation requires no modifications or adapters; simply remove the damaged hull bottom and secure the new component using the original fastening points on your Inkfish frame.
- Essential Maintenance Component — Keeping a spare hull bottom on hand ensures you minimise downtime between water sessions, allowing you to quickly return to racing, cruising or freestyle flying your jet boat without waiting for delivery of replacement parts.
Technical Performance
The UDI RC INKFISH PRO HULL BOTTOM represents the engineering excellence that characterises the complete Inkfish JetBoat system. As a hull component for the 362mm jet boat platform, this part is designed to work seamlessly with either the brushed motor configuration of the standard UDI023 or the more powerful brushless turbo jet propulsion system found in the UDI023PRO model. The hull bottom serves critical functions in the Inkfish design: it houses the water intake channels that feed the turbo jet pump, provides structural support for the entire chassis, and maintains the hydrodynamic profile that gives the Inkfish its distinctive handling characteristics and speed in water. The material composition has been selected to withstand saltwater and freshwater environments, resist UV damage from extended outdoor use, and maintain structural integrity even after repeated impacts with obstacles or pool edges. Whether you're running 2S LiPo batteries in the standard model or stepping up to higher-performance power systems in the PRO variant, this hull component is engineered to handle the rigours of active jet boat operation across all UK water environments.
What's in the Box

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this hull bottom fit my UDI Inkfish JetBoat? — Yes, this component is designed specifically for both the UDI023 standard brushed Inkfish JetBoat and the UDI023PRO brushless high-performance variant, both featuring the 362mm chassis size. Simply confirm your model number and you're ready to install this genuine OEM replacement part.
- What is the difference between the UDI023 and UDI023PRO models, and does this hull work with both? — The primary difference between these models is the propulsion system: the UDI023 features a brushed electric motor setup, whilst the UDI023PRO offers a more powerful brushless turbo jet system for enhanced speed and performance. This hull bottom is compatible with both, as the hull dimensions and fitment points are identical across the Inkfish platform.
- Is this a genuine UDI RC part or a third-party replacement? — This is a genuine manufacturer part supplied by UDI RC, ensuring it meets exact factory specifications and will provide the same durability and performance as the original component that came with your jet boat when purchased.
- Do I need any special tools to install this hull bottom? — Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic hand tools such as a screwdriver or hex key to remove fasteners from your damaged hull bottom and secure the new component to your existing Inkfish frame. No specialist equipment or modifications are necessary.
- What causes hull bottoms to need replacement? — During active water operation, hull bottoms can sustain damage from impacts with rocks, logs or pool edges, abrasion against sand or gravel, UV degradation from prolonged outdoor exposure, or stress cracks developing from the repeated flexing and pressure cycles experienced during high-speed jet boat operation.
- Can I use this part as a spare to build a second Inkfish JetBoat? — Whilst this component is a hull bottom specifically, you would need a complete frame, chassis, and propulsion system to build a functioning jet boat. This part alone is designed as a replacement component for existing Inkfish platforms rather than as part of a build-from-scratch kit.
- Where should I buy genuine UDI RC spare parts in the UK? — RC Model Shop is an authorised retailer of UDI RC products and stocks genuine OEM spare parts for the Inkfish JetBoat platform, ensuring you receive authentic components with the backing of an established UK hobby retailer.
