Used boat market is SMOKIN' HOT right now. Yours is no exception. Thanks for the update bmccaabdceabbe592

Howdy—I know this is sold but you stated you had another you would never sell. Any chance you could tell me what the stock speaker sizes are? I’m three states away from my boat and can’t remember what they are! Thanks

He hasn't been on here since fall of 2023, and it wasn't uncommon back then to see smaller speakers than the standard 6 1/2" we see today.

Somehow 5 1/4" sticks in my mind. It's not uncommon to open up a speaker hole by 1 1/4" to accommodate a 6 1/2" though - I even had to make the speaker openings in my boat bigger to go from Kicker 6 1/2" to Roswell 6 1/2" speakers.
