:smt100We need to purchase a marine radio for our new boat, anyone have any suggestions on what kind to buy and best value for money? Thanks!
 
One of my buddies just installed a regular "auto" Sony system from Best Buy in his Sea Ray 175. Theoretically, if you're not keeping the boat in the water or using it in the ocean, you don't really "need" a Marine radio. Best Buy sold him a 4 year warranty for $25 and told him that if he had any trouble with it in his boat, to just bring it back for a new one!

For $200 you can get a nice Sony system Sirius ready with iPod connections and USB at Best Buy.
 
AM/FM or VHF Marine Radio? I'm not sure WHICH one you are looking for??
 
If you mean a vhf...I bought an icom from Jim at BOE Marine, who owns this site. Look at the very top of the screen. Ric
