Title: 1967 18' Weimans Jet Boat Project
Post by: 75rogers on April 07, 2009, 10:13:22 AM: Weimans 18" Hull on a single axle trailer in very good condition. Trailer needs a little work in the rear where it caught a chunk of asphalt in the road but nothing major. Boat has a Berkeley pump in great condition. Was setup with BBC but motor and mounts were removed. Needs TLC, upholstry but very strong foundation. Current trailer tags. $600 obo.

Your gonna have to move the front plate forward .
The rear plate should stay right where its at.

Post by: Rogers Hopeful on May 13, 2010, 08:21:51 AM: lol.. the guy selling it said its set up for a SBC. i would like to drop a 455 in. he said he was going to drop a 455 in but the angle would be off and require a custom drive shaft.

i thought i could just put the 455 mounts in and go. maybe the inset jet is causing problems??? ???

no, it wont require a custom drive shaft. you will have to realign the drive shaft so its straight when you put it in there with the 455 mounts.
