Smile Newbie to boating & Mariah

Hi,
Just bought my 1999 Z280 yesterday and took it for it's maiden voyage. Love the power of the 454 V8 and Bravo III drive. However the marina did not provide much of any documentation which is why I joined this forum.

    Thanks WetWilly, I'm already a contributing member after battling the PayPal website. I already downloaded the 1997 manual which I'm assuming would be close if not identical to the 1999 which would have been for my boat. The only manual that was supplied by the dealer was for the air conditioner so I have a lot of shopping to do! When I have more time to familiarize myself to both my new (old) boat and to boating in general, I will probably have a miriad of questions. I am really impressed with the site and am thankful that one exists to help new owners like myself for a boat that is no longer in production or even supported by the successor company.
