POWER & PERFORMANCE

TRUSTED POWER OPTIONS

Release Boatworks is a semi-custom boatbuilder that is dedicated to building the exact boat that our discerning clientele expects, and therefore we offer a wide range of engine options in every new Release build. Historically, we’ve used Cummins common rail engines for their hard-to-beat combination of power, performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability, season after season. The electronically controlled common rail fuel system delivers precise injection timing and optimal combustion, resulting in better throttle response, quieter operation, and cleaner emissions. We feel confident in stating that Cummins engines are engineered to handle the demands of serious offshore fishing, and they prove it with robust torque curves and consistent performance across a wide RPM range,
However, Release owners have the option to specify equipment from other engine manufacturers. For instance, we’ve recently incorporated Volvo Penta engines—especially the D11—for their blend of advanced engineering, fuel efficiency, and intuitive control systems. Known for low-end torque, smooth acceleration, and integrated features like joystick docking and digital displays, Volvo diesels offer a refined experience without sacrificing offshore power.

PROVEN PERFORMANCE

With standard Cummins QSB 480 diesel engines, the Release 36 has a top speed of 32.5 knots but even more impressively, a cruise of 28 knots while burning 16 gallons per hour, giving her a 500-plus mile range. Our larger vessels, the 43- and 46-footers, will offer similar performance numbers—high top speeds but also exceptional cruising speeds with equally impressive fuel economy and efficiency.

Performance That Earns Its Stripes Offshore

When you’re 100 miles offshore, power, reliability and performance aren’t luxuries—they’re necessities. Every Release Boatworks is built to run fast, ride soft, and go the distance with confidence. Our vacuum-infused construction keeps weight down and strength high, while our proven hull designs ensure a stable, efficient ride in any sea. Pair that proven ride with your choice of the most advanced and reliable engine packages—Cummins, Volvo, and more—and you get a boat that’s ready to fish hard, run harder, and deliver unmatched comfort and control every step of the way.
