I have decided against removing the AM/FM/Cassette stereo from my boat
and will instead buy a 6GB Ipod Nano with an attachment to play it over
the stereo.

My son and daughter both use those radio signal attachments (wireless)
and say they sometimes lose signal strength. The other option for me is
to play it through the cassette player.

I can buy a hard wire connection for it but I don't want to spend $150
for it.

Does anyone here have any experience with the different types of methods
to play through the car/boat stereo and if so what is your
recommendation?

Jim, if you really like music and your ears are still good enough to hear
most of the notes, you won't like the FM broadcast iPOD hookups, in my
opinion. I've tried a couple to see how best to use my iPOD in my car, and
I have not come across one that I found aurally satisfactory.

If you are going to keep the boat for a while, get yourself a radio with a
direct iPOD jack.

I agree Harry but based on some information I read about on a new Gen5
wireless modulator I might give that a go. The boat, as you know is a small
runabout and obviously will not be the best environment for great sounding
music no matter how much money I throw at it. So I will go the cheap route
and see what happens. I can always buy a hardwire modulator ($25) later and
wire it in if this wireless set up does not pan out. The wireless will give
me the most options as I can play it in both cars and the boat.

Did you read any of the thread I posted here from the Ilounge forum?
Apparently Schosche manufactures a dynamite FM modulator and it blows away
all others.............$17 or $18 at Walmart. That sucker is my first
choice to try.
