Visionary Designs

Jerry Gilbreath made a career out of designing, building, and racing speedboats that were faster than some supercars. Gilbreath, who was VP at Fountain Powerboats for five years and a consultant for Mercury for 25 years, now serves as an engineering consultant for Coeur Customs.

He is the owner and designer of Jefe, one of Coeur Customs most famous works. A nine-time world racing/offshore champion, holder of more than 25 speed records and a frequent driver over the 200-mph barrier, Gilbreath is an asset to the Coeur Customs team in creating works of art that offer both power and performance in a gentleman’s runabout. He assists in ensuring proper weight, balance, power options, and performance requirements on Coeur Customs builds.
