Default Weismann WMD drives, any pairs around?

Does anyone on here know of anybody who is running them, selling a pair, or just know of a pair laying around somewhere????

I know, I've talked to Vern, but he only wants to sell the whole package of stuff. I just need a pair to swap from my dry sixes.

Seems like a good concept, but the one I'm looking for bolts right in place of a #6, No fiberglass work, no moving engines, etc..... Even has the same bolt pattern....

WMD is rated for higher hp, and was designed for military use, meaning anyone with a snap on box and half a brain can work on it. No special tooling, gears, etc... It splits vertically, not horizontally like a six. Meaning it has a foreword and a rear, not an upper and lower...

There's some of them kicking around also. Jaws ran some but other than that does anyone know if any boats ran them successfully??
