Hi PanchoCC,

Probably the best resource for some of the documentation you are looking for can be found at the Mariner's Museum in Virginia, check out this link, you can request information (if avaialble) but keep in mind that the Chris Craft Archive is being moved at this time and it be a be several weeks until it is available again:

Thanks for the email. Currently The Mariners Museum's Chris-Craft
collection is closed. We are moving the complete Research Library
including the Chris-Craft archives, about 1.3 million items. We
anticipate completing the first week of November 2008.

Also, please note that our collection of Chris-Craft materials starts at 1922 and runs through 1982. 

As far as manuals go, Chris Craft did not print specific manuals for each boat model, instead they would produce a generic manual that covers basic operations of a typical Chris-Craft boat.

Hey PanchoCC,

Which model do you have exactly?  I have a 1985 Chris Craft brochure of the full line of cruisers which lists a 336 Commander Mid Cabin and v-drive small blocks or big blocks.  I wonder if the 336 is the small block and 337 is the big block.

Specs are:

Sleeps 6

Length 33'

Beam 12' 1"

Draft 2' 9"

Dry Weight 12360 LBS

Fuel 250 GAL, Water 50 GAL

Power options: twin 260HP or 340HP Mercruiser, V-Drive
