A few questions you might want to consider first ....

1) Have you installed speakers, etc in a car before ? If not then you may want to pay someone else to do it. (or learn now)

2) Does your present boat system allow for another pair of speakers ? I'm assuming that you have 1 pair now (ie - rear) and the stereo has front and rear outputs with a built in fader and that you wish to install the other (ie - front) pair. If not then something more "special" needs to be done.

3) Lastly do you have a place already picked out for the new speakers ? Are they self contained boxes or will you need to cut fiberglass to install them ? Does the latter bother you ?

Personally, having done similar stuff with many cars in my youth, I'd do it myself. Just be careful the speaker magnet doesn't screw-up the compass and the speakers are poly not paper cones.
