The new boat came without a radio, so I decided to remedy the situation this weekend. Went with the Jensen MS30, since it was just about the only radio that would fit the space I had, the flush mount (3/4" thick) helped keep my knuckles from changing the station while steering. Clarion marine speakers.

There's a few different models and brands like that, added an auxiliary jack and USB port for bringing my satellite radio or sons Iphone for music in remote locations up north.
