looking for boat manual for 82 Ranger

[vintage_car]

I just bought an 82 Ranger 1750 Aztec... my first bass boat, has a Johnson 115HP motor, runs strong, and it has the motor manual. I was wondering if anyone knows of a source for the boat manual.

Welcome to iboats.

You probably aren't going to find one, boats are different than cars and because of the small production numbers don't have manuals as such.

Very expensive to make and they may have only made at most several hundred of your boat.

Mostly they come with the manual for the stereo and a ton of legal stuff.

Was there a specific question you had?

not really any specific question, just sort of was looking for the in's and out's of this boat... much like a car manual gives you. I know the boat is pretty simple.
I do have the manuals for the outboard with a nice coating of black mold all through it. gotta read it with my respirator on.

Welcome to iboats. I just bought an 83 ranger 330-v. Seems like you can't beat the quality of the early rangers.

I got one... can you pull a one man tube with this boat safely? If so is there a specific rigging that must be used?

I found the boat manual!!! it was sort of stuck to the back of the engine manual I hadn't full thumbed thru! What luck!

Well good, that is pretty rare and you are very luck someone put it there cause I don't think you would have found one anywhere else.
