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.

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
