Welcome. When I bought my F36, I got some great docs by calling Marine Tech, John Leeds, 717-684-4145. Give him your HIN number which you can find on a brass plate near the lower helm. He was able to provide me with several mechanical drawings and a full set of electrical prints.
Other than that, search here and ask questions. Someone here will know and reply.

well mainly just maintaining this boat so it last as long as posible it needs some work to the inside so I'm going to update with some modern stuff ad the engines have 500 hr on one and 388 on the other. This is my first time even having a yacht. I've been around boats and drove them but never really took the time to reasearch into themDanny Bailey wrote:Welcome to the forum. Any specific questions??

The yacht was put up for auction on eBay for some charity and I happen to win it at a stupid low price. So my buddy and I are going to update it clean it all up and travel around the US with it not sure if this Is posible but I'm sure gong for it. It does need work to the interior and what not also needs new batterys but the carbs were rebuilt last year and the guy stated it ran. And tips on getting these engines tuned up well would help out alot. There the 255 series. Like I said I know really nothing about this yacht. The hull is in decent shape no holes stress cracks nothing props look good shafts and what not. What's the first thing I should do?
