God Speed...Mister Garbrecht
Sadly I must pass on that a true racing and performance boat icon, Gary Garbrecht, passed away of a heart attack. Gary was head of Mercury racing, and later OMC's Formula One Tunnel series. He also was a founding partner of Executioner Powerboats (Fountain). He was president of Aronow Powerboats and Mach Propellers...and most recently owner of the Hydro-Prop Champ boat and unlimited hydro series. His contributions to boat racing, including offshore, are too numerous to mention......
Personally, he was a great help to me in my tunnel boat career and in developing the Shadow Cats.
God Speed.......... Big Guy.

RIP, One great guy who really knew his stuff !!! He helped me out a lot back in the 70's when I raced w/ the then new 2.4 Merc out boards. Great loss. Pepe @ Pantera

Gary was a partner with Reggie when Fountain first started.
Gary was always there at the beginning of almost anything that had to do with high performance on the water.
A good guy who will be missed by many.
Rest in Peace
