I don’t know about wide open but I found it on sale for $32. It was definitely worth the money.

We have been using a Bose soundlink in the cockpit of the sailboat for years, until recently, when the battery stopped charging. Tried all the fixes on youtube, to no avail. My wife bought this JBL as a replacement a few weeks ago. JBL Flip 5 | Portable Waterproof Speaker

Sounds good at home. I am sure it will do it's job in the cockpit while under sail.

thing is great. My friend has that and her son constantly drops it in the sand and water and it keeps working like new.

Similar situation as @Marvin willis, wanted to add some tunes to the ski, but keep the cost manageable.

Two Rockville Bluetooth speakers on RAM mounts. Pair for stereo sound, and can still hear the tunes at 40+. As for run time, I have never exhausted the battery, but typically charge them after my 3rd outing (~1.5 hrs each outing). Was initially thinking of their larger speakers, “Rock Everywhere” but didn’t want anything too bulky or that would block the gauge cluster or side mirrors. Will look for a photo of them installed…

Found a photo. Having stereo sound is also a nice feature. I previously tried a single EcoBox speaker, and felt the Rockville provided a superior solution for this application.

The JBL most likely provides superior sound (I don’t have a flip, but have a Charge as well as a “Go”), and neither offer the universal mounting point for adding the Ram Ball.
