Thinking the 4-c batteries can't sound very good or loud.
I actually have a portable sounddock by Bose that sounds awesome. It plays loud for about 4 hrs plus I have a 2nd battery just in case! Has a remote, bought a Bluetooth adapter so I don't have to leave my phone on it in the sun.
Set it on the deck or just behind windscreen.. Sounds great.. Lil pricy but it's bose :-)
Oh and engines start right up!
That boombox is pretty cool though.. Can float with ya!

Look at the new Infinity One. It plays pretty loud and has a super large rechargeable battery. Its in a ceramic coated aluminum case that will take a beating.
I am the one that makes the portable large speaker that runs for a couple days at crazy loud levels. It's too big to fit in your race boat. It's got a 15" woofer and compression driver for mids and highs.
I think the Infinity is what your looking for. Plus it has a USB port to charge your phone. And its Bluetooth.

What about a dewalt radio, or whoevers battery tools you use? Rechargeable batteries, water resistant, sounds decent, takes a beating, hookups for MP3 players. Kinda seems like it would fit your needs

Also charges phone, but I found $7 Bluetooth adapter and leave phone inside on counter out of sun. Bag was another $50 too.
Sounds awesome for size, it sounds really good inside!

I've got one of these http://www.kicker.com/AMPHITHEATER_Bluetooth and run it off a small $25.00 inverter. Plug the inverter into cig lighter or use battery clips The sound is amazing.

I built this a couple years back and works well. Speakers came off ebay, and most everything else I had. Small amp, an RCA input and a fire alarm battery is all it is. I added a sub, which helps the sound, but really you could go smaller and only run the 6's. I've also seen guys do this same setup, but in a small Igloo Cooler. Saves some weight over the MDF. To keep it from falling apart, I put a couple coats of epoxy on it follwed by some rattle can bedliner.
