Checkmate is about speed. Speed is in our DNA. It’s been this way ever since the day in 1963 when Bill Combs set out to build the finest, fastest, best performing racing boat at his factory in Bucyrus, Ohio. Bill was obsessed with racing. He began by modifying boats and he thought it made sense to build his own racing outboard – and Checkmate was born. With his high performing outboards, and his sons, Bill hit the racing circuit in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Almost overnight, Checkmate and racing became synonymous. Throughout the ensuing decades, Checkmate has continued to dominate the racing circuits.
