Headsets
 
Just wondering how many cat owners have headsets and use them, or are they just a waist in a sit down boat.?

I have a set. Magic's do not have a windshield, so at high speeds with the wind in our faces and the engine noise I cant hear the person next to me. The headsets help out a lot!!! :drink:

I have the Rugged Radio system that I used in my 28' Skater. It works great and was easy to install. You need the thick mic muff for open cockpit. We attached the iPhone and VHF. You can talk to each other listen to music take or make a phone call and monitor and use the VHF.

Customer service and support is great. I'm installing the system in my new build. They sent me a custom face plate and bezel to match my gauges.

Ask for Kevin if you call.

I have a David Clark system, and was wondering it I should install it in the MTI, I don't know if I would use them. I didn't when I had the 39 Nortech, one time and took the,system out.

Use mine a lot especially on poker runs. But with twin canopies and dry headers mine is loud with wind noise in the back and engine noise. It may not be very important with the new windshield designs and quieter engines. It is a very nice thing in my boat though. On poker runs it is very nice for my crew to be able to communicate what they are spotting to me. Also really cool to play music through them.

I was teaching my son how to drive during poker runs. It was a night mare because we were screaming. I bought the headset system and it was awesome. Spotter in back could clear us of the really fast boats closing on us.

Just be careful how many you headsets you "have". You may have to listen to someone in the back telling you to slow down or it's too rough:lolhit:

Yes there seems to be a big difference in "marine" and "off road" prices!

Funny thing they both are exposed to the elements.

I just bought a set of Peltor aviation headsets & radios I have not got to use them on the boat yet. After only having my cat out once last year there was a lot of wind noise & now with the blowers whining im not going to be able to hear anything this year. Probably only use them on poker runs & longer trips.
