I’ve heard several reports that cofounder, long time president and the driving force of Checkmate Boats, Bill Combs passed away on Friday at the age of 94. He was a leader in the fledgling performance marine industry starting in 1963 with the creation of Checkmate Boats in Bucyrus, Ohio. Along with boat building, Bill had many great wins on the race course in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Best wishes to his sons, Kip and Mike.
‘Cheers’ Bill!
