Bill really pulled through on a challenging job for me. I still get compliments on his work 18 years later. RIP, Bill.

Bill set the standard for race-styled interiors back in mid 80's with Saccenti's Apache Marine. He came from the custom car industry and brought with him some very cool touches that were missing in the marine industry. Then Mark McManus had him do a few 41/47's and the rest is history.

He was innovative and a stickler for details - and thats why he rarely delivered an interior on time. But when he was finished, it was flawless, and worth the wait.
R.I.P. :(

Bosco - how old was he?

John. Thank you for posting. Sad to hear the news of Bill's passing. Always looked forward to seeing and talking with Bill while visiting Powerplay. Bill installed the interiors in both of my boats. Always great to work with, and had great ideas for making ideas work. My thoughts & Prayers. Robbie

Powerplay boats would not be Powerplay boats without Bill!!!
