46' Release Boat Works Walk-around sportfish Sport Fisherman

Note:

Release Boatworks created some beautiful vessels by combining classic sportfish styling with innovation of modern design and the latest marine technology.  This vessel's walk-around design is cherished by the sportsman and appreciated by anyone who enjoys their fishing with a lighter crew.

The maneuverability that is realized with the joystick control, plus ease of operation around the dock are huge benefits, not to mention the Skyhook feature providing dynamic positioning capability.  Cummins QSM11s are combined with Zeus drives and have been fully serviced this past summer.  Light tackle, live bait fisherman will appreciate the transom live well in addition to the two forward pitch well tanks.  Two generous under-deck fish boxes in the cockpit.  Comfortable mezzanine style cockpit seating benches with two large refrigerator/freezer boxes behind plus a cockpit sink.  An Eskimo crushed ice machine, auto-flush HRO water-maker, 3 aft and 2 below underwater lights, LED spreaders and under gunwale cockpit lights, Simrad Chirp sounder technology, plus a Furuno side scanning sonar.

Operate the boat with climate controlled comfort from the plush Release Helm Chair on the bridge deck or head up to the fully optioned tower helm.  On the walk-around deck there are no steps and a safe level of freeboard all around plus a full array of rod holders and a Release Battle Saddle rocket launcher in the cockpit as well as a generous transom door.

In addition, this girl is dressed up with proper teak coverboards, varnished toe rail, cap rail and custom helm pod.  Sharp light blue hull with recent blue bottom.  Polished Stainless Anchor with chute and windlass.  Pop up spring cleats.

GOLD FISH is in Florida to be sold, don't miss checking her out.  Recently completed fresh bottom job & all new zincs - see recent photos.

Walkthrough and Accommodation

GOLD FISH is a large walk-around style inboard express boat which has tremendous benefits to the light/standup tackle angler with 360 degree fish-ability.  This boat was designed by knowledgeable fisherman who thought about details and in combination with the Cummins/Zeus pod this vessel's maneuverability is a perfect compliment.

The bridge deck has a 4-sided enclosure with two aft facing mezzanine style lounges at the front of the cockpit.  Just ahead of this seating are two freezer compartments to the portside and a cockpit sink to the starboard side beneath gas shock lift assisted tackle center-styled lids.  Entering the bridge-deck centerline this area has A/C or reverse-cycle heat, with an L-shape bench to the portside and a smaller bench lounge to the starboard side.  A single teak ladderback Release Marine helm chair with footrest is just ahead to starboard at the helm.  All bridge & mezzanine seating cushions are tan vinyl with navy blue piping.  To the left of the helm is the cabin door with lift up top and bi-fold lower section accessing a three-step ladder down to the teak and holly sole below.  Just aft to starboard of the entry is a full height rod locker closet, carpeted & with LED accent lighting.  To the outboard side just forward is the head entry door with teak grate flooring, Avonite vanity top with stainless sink & mirror above, shower wand fixture, & Techma freshwater flush head.  Back to the cabin and along the starboard side is the galley area with teak door cabinet storage above including a microwave oven and countertop below with hideaway two burner electric stovetop and undermount sink.  Below are two drawer style refrigerators with small freezer compartments.  Across is a single day berth with huge rod storage area beneath.  Forward is a V-berth area with storage compartments around.  Interior cushions are a bold blue and white striped Sunbrella fabric.  On the forward bulkhead is a Samsung flat panel TV which has a Simrad controller pad allowing charting/navigation/bottom display.  A pair of flush mounted stereo speakers are to either side of the TV.  This is a very nice cabin considering that this boat is a walk-around style.
