posts asking about boat manuals

Rather than answer each of the posts, I thought I could have a new thread or sticky if the moderator can do that. This is meant for those new to boating !

When you buy a boat, new or used, there generally isn't ONE all-inclusive manual. There will be several booklets, one for the boat, one for the motor, one for the trailer. They are all made by seperate manufacturers. In addition, if you are lucky, there will be paperwork on boat systems such as radio, steering, controls, canvas & vinyl. My Godfrey dealer had all of that for me in a nice canvas bag, as the boat was new. It may be easier to research on the internet, or contact specific manufacturers. If you do post on here, please list the brand names, sizes, and hp.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Just purchased a gently used 2003 Sanpan 2500 LE, Yamaha 115 4 stroke (F115TLRB) from a dealer with no manuals.
    I can get info on the trailer and Outboard, it's the vessel itself that I need info on.
    Not new to boating (have had bowriders, cruisers, but NEW to Pontoon. Any help appreciated!
