Re: Anyone have Sirius Radio on the boat ?
Just got the SIRIUS Sporster,$70 after rebate,it comes with one docking station.I got an extra docking station for the boat for $40.I mounted it inside the cabin beside the stereo.It works great and makes it nice to just pop the main unit out of my dually when I get to the water and put it in the boat.You just pay one fee and can use it in any vehicle or at home with the home docking station.

I got XM in my boat (fixed) I wish I had a portable one. I chose to use the IPOD and with over 4,000 songs on it, the only time I use XM is when I'm too lazy to plug in the IPOD.
I'm thinking of turning off the XM!

I have the Xact unit on my boat and I put it in the car in the winter time. It is down to $19 at Circuit city and it works great. It has both the FM and mini 3.5mm output (much better in the car but FM works fine in the boat).
Never tried XM
