Default RIP Galen of Speedmasters in Deland.
Galen Wiley of Speed Masters died yesterday SPEEDMASTERS. Seems way to many of these this year.

I know a couple of people on here knew him, he was one of the old school guys. Sucks to lose another.

A very close friend of Galen's told me he died yesterday at 11AM in the morning from a brain aneurysm. RIP Galen

Galen was my mentor, showed me the how to rig my Bertram correctly. He rebuilt my drives, transmissions , gimbles. 10 years now pounding his work with no problems. He was a true Grand Master certified Mercruiser technician.
RIP brother, I will miss you. Kurt
