About the price: No model-year price list was found, so no base price is recorded. SMC's annual report for fiscal 1997 (filed in 1998) gave a retail price range of $208,000 to $300,000 for the Patriot, depending on options such as the 425-horsepower Thunder package, without naming a model year (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000932129/000089387798000267/0000893877-98-000267.txt).
These values describe this model year and configuration. An individual coach can differ, so check it against the coach’s own records. “Not documented” means the encyclopedia does not have that fact yet.

Notes
A club forum post says 1998 was the first Patriot year with a rear radiator and Hurricane hydronic heating (https://beaveramb.org/forum/index.php/topic,437.0/nowap.html); this was not checked against a factory document. Scans of Beaver's 1998 brochures are linked by year from the public Beaver Motorhome History brochure index (https://sites.google.com/site/beavermotorhomehistory/home/smc/brochures-smc); those photo albums cannot be read as text and were not used for this record.
