Sold the Weiman today ,they guys (brothers) who bought it tell me they are the Grand sons of Wieman and have two sixteen footers already ! thier 83 year old Grammy is Weimans widow They are very stoked to buy it they have 2 others (one with a 428 fe) and claim there were only 6 made that year (70) who hoo! happy to see it go to a "collector" who really cares about the boat Tom

Not sure re Nephews, the one was telling me a story I couldn't quite follow about love affairs and rivalries between grandma and ?? and how Weiman and Roger intertwined but I didn't go into it very far! Alls I know is that the liittle boats going to a deserving group who want it They promise to provide pics of their other boats ,very cool people ! Tom btw that boat had been stored 10 years in San Berdo with out moving

Before I bought the Hondo I looked at a 68 or 69 Wieman with a 427bbc. It needed a little more TLC than I wanted to get into, but the more I learn, the more I think I should try to get find it again.
-
Thats pretty cool. That boat has gone full circle, and is back in the hands of the family that built it. I gotta admit I'm a little bummed I didn't buy it :'(
-
Funny stuff ,how these thing work huh I'm really excited to see thes folks get the boat Tom
-
Be real curious to find out who they are, maybe they're the sons of the woman Ray Weiman married after the divorce from his first wife, Rogers mom. That's the only thing I can think of, Roger has no brothers or sisters and both his parents have died.

Rich you are correct I belive, re Sons (not grandsons) One Brother ,Mike is a contractor in Washington state, the other ,Matt has a business in Cuer'delane (sp) Mom (80's?) still works for Matt .They mentioned something about a "relationship" between Weiman ,Roger and Mom but I couldn't/didn't follow. Alls I do know is They love these boats an are very excited They claim there were very few made in 16' with 428 power plants ?? Any input as always is appreciated Tom
FINALLY BTW got the dmv squared away ,this boat which came from the original owner ,was stored (never moved ) for 10 years in San Berdo
