Anyone know anything about these boats?
I picked one up for a decent price and of course it doesn't have an owner's manual.
It's a 1988, im the second owner, and it's it great shape for the age.

boats dont have owners manuals, however what ever is providing power generally came with an owners and maintenance manual.

service manuals need to be procured.

So what would be the best way to figure out fuel capacity? Just fill her up? Not too sure the gas guage is working at all.
looks like the p/o installed a guage on top of the tank, seen through the inspection hatch, which is reading less than a quarter tank.

Google the specs

Before you even think of using the boat, assume the PO did nothing for maintenance.

So plan on addressing cooling, fuel, ignition, trailer bearings, brakes, alignment, etc as needed

My 79 Crestliner, my 98 Glastron and 2002 Glastron all came with Owner Manuals for the boats, in addition to the engines
