I have a 68 ceebee avenger 14' closed bow boat. I was wonder if anyone had a suggestion of how and were to mount a stereo and speakeras in such a small boat.

These must be your pics your trying to show.
Not much room on the dash but you might be able to cut a hole to the left of the gauges to put in a DIN mount chasis with a flip up splash cover? How much room is there under those seats, enough to put in some 6" speakers?

yeah there is some room under there but wouldn't that muffle the sound.

P.S. how'd you post the pics / I'm a rookie on this thing. I'd rather be on the lake then online

build a wedged shaped box under the center of the bow deck with the radio in the center and speakers on each side... just a thought

How about mounting an amp anywhere there is space. Provide the tunes from an iPod with an AM/FM tuner. No dash space needed and the iPOD can be used away from the boat.

For under the seats I was thinking of cutting a hole through the wooden base so the speaker faced outside the box but the box itself could act a bit like a speaker box, you may get better sound that way.

ps...for posting the pics, you almost had it with your second post but somehow lost the beginning of the url

left dash, under seat, use speaker backing cones to keep water out of the back of the speakers, and protect them, if you use the area for storage. use flexible antenna, not those stupid little wire antennas.
