1978 SN radio

Hey Jeremy,
I have a 76 SN and asked the same question on here less than a year ago. If your boat is set-up like mine, with a spotters bench seat, there isn't a lot of dash room to play with. I was close to purchasing a head unit with a remote controller than would fit into a small gauge size hole but didn't have the heart to drill or cut into the dash.

So, I ended up researching and purchasing a Bose Soundlink that hooks up with the Bluetooth on my smartphone. It works awesome. I don't bother using it while my engines running, because you cant beat the classic inboard exhaust sound. We use it when were swimming or hanging out at the sand bar. It says its good for an 8hr charge but I find it goes way longer. Just in case I installed a USB charging port under my dash to recharge the Bose if necessary. Just a thought....

Don't waste money or cut holes for a head unit if you're like the rest of the world and use a device or phone for music. Buy an amp and proper splitters to attach a 3.5mm mic to rca cord directly to the amp. Tune the amp and sub with your phone equalizer set where you want it to stay and never look back at a head unit. The amp gets hidden and other than speakers it all looks stock.
