For some unexplainable reason I have a desire to "restore" my 2003 H210 to original factory condition. That being said, there are a number of small items I need to replace. One item that I can't seem to track down is the original SONY CD/Radio. The Four Winns Website shows a model that seems very different from the model shown in the sales brochure. If someone still has one instaled and can provide the model number I would be greatful. I would be even more greatful if anyone would be willing to sell theirs if they are planning an upgrade. Thanks for all the help.

Not sure what model is original to your boat. I do have my old Sony HU that came from our pre historic 2000 268 Vista. It still works fine, just does not play MP3 discs or have an integrated MP3 jack on the face plate. Let me know if you can use it .

Uhh, not to be taken as gosphel but I think FW started using the Sony head in 07 (?). I remember reading somewhere that when the CEO changed, he had a preferance to Sony much to the dismay of many at the time it seemed. Prior to that I think it was a Clarion.

They may have re-started using Sony about 07'. I have not seen a 1998 thru at least 2000 with anything but a Sony as standard equipment. Not sure when they started using the Crapion stereo's.

My '02 has a Sony. I think they used both for a while.

I think they use whatever they get a good deal on. Which happened to be Clarion at least from '04 through ~'06.

Thanks for everyones help. I am going to try and lift the picture form the Four Winns website to jog a few memories. I have searched ebay and even the Sony site (which is quite comprehensive) without any luck. I have a pretty poor Dual Stereo in ther now which works but sounds nothing short of awful. I'm not sure if the Sony will sound any better, but it will bring the boat back to original. BTW it appears to have the orignal Sony speakers and remote. As soon as the weather gets a little better I'll post some pictures. Once agin thanks everyone, this board is great.

If you open up the entertainment section it shows the Sony that should have been in there.

Thanks Boater,

I saw that one but it seems very different from the one shown here:

If you open the pdf, you can't make out the model #.

Thanks for your help though.

I apologize to everyone, after further magnification I beleive it is a SONY CDX 350.

Thanks everyone, I apologize for the goose chase.
