While the basic hull did not change during the years, the layout, options, motors and accessories did. And changes were great even during the year. One example I could point to is my owners manual calls for two 11 gal. hot water heaters. However, I only have one and am only plumbed for one. Changes in layouts went from a two cabin to a three cabin layout. Light maple interior to dark oak and walnut. A couple years even had an optional hardtop. Engines included Cummins, Caterpillar and Volvo diesels as well as a Crusaders in gas for 1996 and 1997. All transmissions as best I can tell are ZF.
This manual is just part of a bigger blog missgnomie.blogspot.com that I am building in reference to my boat specifically. I have set a goal of 2014 to complete this blog and the associated blogs necessary to document Miss Gnomie. Feel free to comment or send me notes or suggestions. If your you have your owners manual and it appears to be more accurate to my boat please let me know. And vice verse of course.
Thanks for taking the time to look and read.
John
