Maxxum 281 - any archives/docs available?

I saw the ZT330 quest and thought I'd take a shot at it too!
I bought this '89 boat without power Sep/07, all else is in service from what I can tell so far. I'm stripping and refinishing the Bravo drives - quite corroded, but no leaks or signs of water penetration.

I found two Gen V 454's and currently have them torn apart. I'm building a pile of parts to fit them into the engine bay while the blocks will go in for machining (shortly).

I'd love to have some original documentation on wiring, tank, hull structure - unfortunately I've had no response from checkmate and the internet turns up nada other than a valuation from the marine insurance industry...I've found original Merc shop manuals for the drives and engines, but only have a 1990 Checkmate Brochure as reference for the hull.
Does anyone have any leads for Checkmate docs??? I'm stuck.
