    Who built this boat? "Release"

    There is a boat out there called the "Release". I have seen it all over TV and sportfishing Mag and I definitely know that its out of Cabo or some other country in Mexico. I believe it is somewhere near 40 (I think it was a number like 37 but don't base your answer of my guess) something feet. Kinda shaped like a Liberty. I saw it constantly but now that I want to see a picture of it I can't find it anywhere!

    I believe it is an origional 37 Merritt.
    From Wikipedia...
    Tuna Teaser (USCG #286170, Hull #8) was built in 1961 for Art Appleton. She was later known as Born Free, Sachem, Seaquirt, and most recently Release. Presently the boat is in Guatemala.

    The "RELEASE"

    A 37-ft Merritt built in 1961 by Buddy Merritt himself. He called the 37 "The Perfect Fishing Boat" and built her with one purpose in mind...to raise and catch fish. Since hull number 8 was launched she was kept as a private yacht in Stuart, Florida.

    Couldn't agree more. Bucket list includes a couple days on this rig.

    I fished on the Northern Lights in Kona a few years ago. It was a 37 Merritt, a really super boat to fish from.
