1987 Cruisers, inc - Roque 287S

[Jeff&Juli]

My wife and I bought a cruisers Inc boat. It was well taken care of and we were impressed by its build quality. What we are finding out is there is very little information on it but there seems to be a number of them for sale around the country. We were mostly looking for a manual for it, specs, diagrams of the layout, where to get parts or any info really.
If anyone could point us in the right direction it would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Greetings and welcome to iBoats . . .

Owner's Manuals for boat were not really a thing until lately. Mostly stuff about navigation rules. There is a fairly active Owner's group on FB and you could reach out to Cruisers Customer Service for guidance. I do see that there is a 90-page manual for a Rogue 2780 that comes up on a Google search. (From one of those download sites)

The best documentation for older boats seems to be the engine manuals.

@Scott Danforth has a Cruisers Rogue of similar vintage and perhaps provide some input. I own a 2016 Cruisers 338 and it came with some decent documentation, as many boats are now coming with more info

There is no manual. The customer service at cruisers is top notch.

They can send you a PDF copy of the brochure

What information are you looking for

Thank you!
That is very helpful, I will look into the FB page. I do have the 2870 manual, that is the closest thing I have found but it is a different boat. I am in the process of writing out my own and it did at least come with a Clymer engine manual and I did find an actual phone number for Cruiser Yachts last night. I am hoping to get some capacities and such at least.
Thanks again for your reply!

throw the clymer manual out as there is more wrong information than correct in there. they make bad toilet paper and worse manuals.

do you have Volvo Penta motor and drive, or Mercruiser?

if Volvo Penta, go here for factory manuals.. https://www.volvopenta.com/en-us/service-and-support/your-engine/manuals-and-handbooks/
