I have a 1993 Horizon 190 LE, looking for a recommendation on a aftermarket radio for my factory Am/FM Cass. Don't need CD. Thanks

Ohhh boy, that's like asking what kinda oil should I use. :lol: Lots of different opinions, brand loyalties, etc here. I guess it all depends on what ya want out of the system. Do you want a stereo just for background music, or to blast the water, or somewhere in between? I had a Kenwood that I loved, but it got soaked in a monsoon and died. I currently have an Alpine that is just as good, but no remote. Also, are you upgrading speakers too? Amp? Subwoofer? Lots of variables, but others will be along shortly that are actual audiophiles and can make better recommendations than me.

Oh, and welcome to the forum! Post some pics of your boat... 8)

Fusion 700 Series - great radio. Make sure you add the BT200 bluetooth module, it works perfectly.

I have been using a USB drive. For me it seams to work better and it holds more.

Thanks for the replies.

I am looking just to replace the factory radio. No upgrades to speakers. Just something with Mp3 and maybe Bluetooth.

I hate to cut and splice, but it looks like what is going to have to happen. Thanks again for your consideration.

I recently installed a JBL Bluetooth unit. So far I love it. Works great. Sounds great with new Polk speakers. Overall, I am very pleased and I was able to install in a cup holder!
