Well, It's a 13' 1986 Boston Whaler with a 25HP Johnson O/B I'm probably getting....<br />Anyhow, I need a CD player that can play music, a boombox, pretty loud if possible.....but if it gets wet, I'm guessing it's going to ruin right away, the saltwater will destroy it. <br />Something for around $75 I'm guessing, cheap as possible.....If I cant find one, what will I do? Put a regular one in a watertight case? I don't want to take up alot of space, the boat is 13'.....<br />Thanks everyone! This forum is a great place, lots of people, lots of replies and help, this is great!

Hi SeaMaster711, the easiest and cheapest way is to put your boombox in an oversized decent quality plastic bag and seal the end with a bread bag twist-tie, sea spray stays out, the sound isn't compromised and the extra size bag allows easy access to the controls, works fine.

A CD player? On a WHALER?<br /><br />CD players are for Bayliners, so they can listen to music while they wait to be towed in after the Force croaks (assuming that the B'liner is still afloat). :D <br /><br />Listen to the gulls and the sounds of the sea, Vic. Listen to a striper nail a surface plug, drags screaming, blues snapping their jaws if you get a finger too close.<br /><br />That is the symphony of the seaman. :) <br /><br />Save the recorded stuff for home or the car.
