Dad's Express Cruiser 3100

Postby LastCall1984 » Tue Mar 08, 2022 3:24 pm

Hi All,

New to the forum here. I just inherited my dad's old 1984 Express Cruiser 3100, as we unfortunately lost him this winter unexpectedly. I grew up on this boat and have fond memories of so many good times. I couldn't let it go!

Good news is it is in great shape, as my dad cared for it like a baby! But I have very limited info and looking for info like a owners manual, etc. online has brought little results. I'm having the boat hauled to me this spring and look forward to giving her another season on the water, especially since we know that dad wasn't done with her yet when he pulled her out last fall.

If anyone has a link to where I could find more info on her, owners manual, etc., I would be appreciative!

Thank you all. Looking forward to getting her on the water again in dad's honor!

Welcome Aboard, Sorry for your loss, As has been said many times for a 38 year old boat your most likely not going to find an owners manual and if you did find 1 it would cover multiple boats and be very general. Best thing to do is look up specific components if you need answers or have questions how something is wired or how it works. then put it on the forum if you still have questions, there's a wealth of knowledge here and I'm sure someone will be more than happy to help :-D

This owners manual for 1980's Wellcraft inboards will be very helpful. i suggest you take it Staples and have it printed out doulbe sided and bound using their GBC machine.

i read the manual that was uploaded and found it to be as good as the manual that came with my 2002 Martinique 3700. My boat came with the manual and it is very general and not really model specific. Thanks for your copy. I might fill in some blanks in my own.

Not bad for a 38 year old vessel!
