So I searched for this before posting. Cant find a single thread on it, so I figured I would share.
We have multiple boats raft up every week end, and sometimes go to larger party areas. and one thing you will notice is peoples boats all playing different music at the same time.
for years people have complained about why marine radios don't Bluetooth sync up, and then company's started making head units with aux in/and out so you could run long aux cables at tie ups. and stuff.
Then finally someone started going wireless. and I am late to the show here, as a friend just turned me on to it, but I am a tech geek at times and think its cool.

You can buy it on amazon prime for 149.99. found a few places barley cheaper. (130 is the cheapest i have found)
But the kit comes with 2 boxes, about the size of a small pager (from back in the day). they are identical (both can send or receive), and 2 Aux cables, and a spliter , and charge cable (mini usb).
So you can have one boat playing music/ipod and sync other boats to it instantly. and wirelessly. They are stupid easy to use, rechargeable, water resistant, fairly cheap. You can sync mutiple boats to one sender. So you can pull up to a party and LINK your boat to the main guy playing and be done. Or you can be the sender/DJ and loan one to you buddy or what ever. Having 2-3-4 boats (or more) playing the same thing at a lower volume but all the way across the line we find way better the one boat jamming (noone on tha boat can talk) and nothing else playing on others alot better.
Just neat kinda newish stuff i thought i would share and I have found if you order a longer Aux cable, you can lay it on the radar arch and get ALOT of distance if needed.
