Spot77, I too am looking to get a new system. The set up West Marine has for like $79.00 doesn't appear to be bad but watch the speakers. I pulled a speaker off my boat Sat. and found it to be 60 watts. So 60 watts X 4 speakers is 240 watts from the stereo itself. Doubt West Marine systems are that powerfull. Their speakers are only 25-30 watts each. My stereo is inside the cabin but two speakers are out in the open near the stern. They are the ones that go bad. I can't see why you need a "marine" type stereo but the exposed speakers should be water resistant/waterproof.
