That wouldnt produce enough sound to hear. I used to carry a boom box in a gear bag on the tramp, but even at max volume it was hard to hear when going over 7 knots and impossible on the wire. I currently have waterproof ipod case and earplugs, but it is a bit of a hastle with the wires around my arms and face.. plus i worry about not hearing other boats...

my kids gave me an Ipod mini and one of these for fathers day
I put it on the handle bars of my Motor cycle and I can hear it just fine upto about 60MPH with a helmet. I am thinking that I can stick it in an AquaBag(I think is the brand) and stap it to the boom.
They got it at Target for about $20.00 search for sonic impact p5

That was actually on Team Accelerated Chaos' boat during the Tybee 500 - and I'm pretty sure that Trip Burd made most of it and is in some way associated with Full Wave Audio. It isn't a product the company is actively promoting but they'll make you one if you ask them too. I think they ran around $1000. It's pricey, but I can attest that the sound quality and volume capabilities are unbelievable. Heck, if it can survive a Tybee 500 from the trampoline, that's saying something.

For $1000, i will hire Van Halen to play on a raft and drag them around behind me.... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> thanks for the data Jake!

Just a thought as to a radio. Try Bed Bath and Beyond. Their cheap, but they make water proof radios for the shower. I used a splash dance for several years on the boat, before it died. I know their cheap, between $10-$30, but for us on a budget, just something to think about.

Thanks Mlcreek, i have looked at them before. i didnt think the little 1 speaker would fill my needs... but maybe worth looking at again.

Time for a new thread on this topic!
