Marine Radios Review

I’m constantly amazed at just how far we’ve come in technology in the time span of just 50 years or so.  It wasn’t until the early 60′s that anyone had even heard of a transistor radio!  …and then when you had one with SIX transistors, you really thought you were hot stuff!  True – they could barely bring in the local stations, but they worked.  Yesterday I was looking at a Ford Model A that my friend had restored.  He had a piece of equipment that was supposed to be attachable to the dashboard in the car that was called a “brake gauge”.  Now, I’m sure many of you have never heard of such a thing either, but its theory of operation was simply from inertia of motion.  When you were moving, the gauge registered at “zero”.  But, when you braked, if you hit a “4″ on the guage as the counterweight was thrusting forward, it would indicate that you brakes were working properly!  How about that for technology?!  I love it!!  Likewise, the technological improvement made in marine speakers is equally astounding!  If the speakers you have on your deck, pontoon boat, speed boat, or other places are “crackling” or “distorting” the low notes, you need an upgrade.  These are now very affordable and are waterproof!  Enjoy top notch sound quality with very little invested.  Why not enjoy what you’re listening to?  Happy Boater.
