The design and speaker mounting which is meant to send the sound across the water is significantly different than a regular boat with a sound system designed for the people inside the boat to listen to it. Is is possible to ride a wake board without blaring music? How about a waterproof headset for the wake board enthusiast so that only they listen to the music?
I've mentioned the following event here years ago.

Early one morning, I heard a buzzing sound. About 30 minutes later, I heard it again. This happened again and again.

As the morning sun lighted the opposite shoreline, I could see the sound was coming from a wooden Cris-Craft "Laker", about a half-mile away.

It was then I realized I was hearing an automatic electric bailer!
