    1994 Sea Sprite 1900 ES BR

    I have a friend who just purchased a 1994 Sea Sprite 1900 ES BR and I was hoping I could help them in finding an owner's manual for the boat. So I thought I would ask the experts on here to see if they know of a place where I can find one since they aren't made anymore.
