Checkmate 242 for sale in California United States of America

Checkmate Boats Overview

Checkmate Boats are all about speed and performance! It’s been that way since the day Bill Combs set out to build the finest, fastest, best performing speed boat at his factory in Bucyrus, Ohio in 1963. Bill originally began feeding his racing obsession by modifying boats. Once he realized that it made more sense to design and build his own racing outboard, Checkmate was born. Bill and his sons hit the racing circuit in the late 60’s - early 70’s with their high performance speed boats in tow. With their great success, Checkmate boats and racing soon became synonymous. Throughout the following decades, Checkmate continued its domination of the racing circuits.

As their line of racing boats developed, Checkmate entered the performance boating market. It didn't take long for them to be recognized as one of the leading performance boat manufacturers in the country. Staying true to form, Checkmate continues to build quality performance boats using their well-proven methods and styling.

This 242 Checkmate is an incredible boat. It has the max rated engine from MerCruiser in 1999:
