Well, these ( http://tinyurl.com/692pp ) are the ones I got.

They'll be going on either side of the walkway to the open bow (at cruise
the two rears can't be heard at all, really.) I can climb under the dash on
either side with enough room to work, and water (though moisture might)
doesn't usually find it's way into that area..

So I finally found a set of speakers that seemed like a good enough deal
and
they came in last week. I'm wondering if anyone has any input/experience
installing speakers. They aren't flush mount which needs I'll need to be
cutting a few holes... some of my curiosity lies in wondering if there's
any
certain saw blades one should use for cutting fiberglass.... I was going
to
just drill a few holes to start a hand jig saw... maybe tape up the area
with duck tape to avoid scratching.. other than that I didn't really know
if
there was anything one should take precaution with.

Also, though they weigh a couple pounds each, should I worry much about
providing some of support to the backing... like a brace to dissipate
weight
on the fiberglass walls?

Where on the boat are you installing them? Most speakers I've seen are
inappropriate for use in the cockpit, if that is what you are planning.
Unless
they have a sturdy and solid enclosure, they are strictly for inside the
cabin,
or maybe up high in a flying bridge. Speakers without enclosures in the
cockpit,
instantly become large holes for water to enter if the boat gets pooped.
