So yes I have seen a few post about stereo systems. After looking at the expensive one people were talking about and browsing rocktheboataudio.com I determined that buying a stereo system cheaper and with certain specifications, would work just fine. So Yes I understand it they advertise waterproof and may or may not be waterproof, the inside of my jet ski stays pretty dry, I ride a Yamaha Deluxe.
What I bought was...
STEREO: Jensen MSR2007 AM/FM/iPod® Controller Sirius®, Satellite Ready 160 Watts Marine Stereo, http://www.rocktheboataudio.com/html/35285.html
SPEAKERS: Kenwood KFC1653MRG Gray 6 1/2" Coaxial 150 Watts

Also a waterproof remote for use up to 100 feet.
I plan on having a separate power loop, where I will trickle charge it in my house, and have a few spare batteries depending on how much use I want, speakers will be placed in the sides of the jet ski and the battery in the very open spot next to my other battery. Any parts inside that are metal exposed and wiring will be caulked or sealed for further protection from possible splashes inside the hull, My concern is mounting the amp so that it is shock resistant and that would probably be the most harmful thing to it, the amp housing is rated ipx66 so it will be ok inside the hull, but I need some ideas to prevent shock damage.
I will take pictures and such I plan to install the system in a few months, I have the system sitting at home.
