agreed. I'm not a big fan of having the "best of the best" and the
latest of the latest" in my boat.

I have a good JBL am/fm cassette (casette doesn't work) , speakers and
140w amp that I pulled out of an 89 Lincoln Mrk 7 which is more than
plenty for my needs. plus where we go boating is about 40 mi from St
louis and I can get about any kind of broadcasting media I can stand,
with power and clairity.

I do have the advantage of storing ,my boats in the dry, too.


I kind of agree with this James & Tim. We've had a Pioneer automotive
am/fm/cassette mounted in the cabin, out of the weather and the spray,
and it still works fine after 13 years, so I'm not so concerned about
the water resistance aspect. Also, satellite is not so important to me,
especially with the costs of subscriptions. I really just want to
upgrade to something with a wired remote control for the helm, something
car units don't come with. Boss marine units come with the remote
standard, which is why I find them so appealing, but they seem to be
economy priced, so I'm wondering how they sound and hold up to normal
wear & tear.
