Hi there! Just kitting up the electronics for the new boat, just wondering if anyone has bought..or had any dealings with Fusion Marine stereos, speakers ect Look like a good option compared to the GMe stuff on the market. Thanks

Weve got a Fusion Ipod dock
Weve got a Fusion Ipod dock and 4 x 6 inch speakers in our rig. Only a bit over 2 years old now but never had any problem with it and produces more/ better sound than I want to listen to on the water . .

No idea Alfred, never occured
No idea Alfred, never occured to me to ask if ti could be done or get it done. Apparently we can play movies from the ipod through the plotter screen if we wanted to. . .Boats are for boating, I`d rather watch movies on the couch so I can fall asleep in comfort

I am trying to find a way to make the VHF radio louder so that we can hear it on the run. Hate having the little small extension speakers with the wire all over the place.
Videos on a center counsul? I'm with you - a couch is needed when watching videos!

Yep have just put in Fusion audio with our tub inc. Ipod dock, very happy with it Wade but would like to see better clarity (speakers are stock). I don't know what Steve231 has on his rig but that system pumps out serious sound, very tidy!

wrong rod! can't go wrong
wrong rod! can't go wrong with the fusion interface IMO but the speakers need upgrading from the trophy stock (don't know what Steve's running but they are off the hook for clarity & sound)

I also agree
Fusion rocks. Both boats I've owned had GME and they have shit themselves. My first boat, I replaced it with newer GME and it shit itself again within weeks. I then spent a little more on Fusion and LOVED it. The second boat I just ripped it out and put in 4 speakers on a IPod system straight away and love it. Don't go anything else. It just doesn't handle salt water environments quite as well IMO. Good sound and little if any issues.

Mate had the DVD player with a drop down screen from the hardtop. Used to use it a fair bit. The strikecam was good for seeing what was going on in the spread and travelling 100km on autopilot on a glassed off sea at night was made even better with a glass of wine, salami and cheese platter and a review of some of the days footage.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
