In fresh water only, can you use a car stereo amplifier in a boat safely?
This boat will never see saltwater, and the amp will be completely sheltered from splashes and the weather.

It should be fine. You might consider using silicone to seal the edges just to be sure no water can get in the amp in case of an accidental splash.
Be sure to get an amp that doesn’t have cooling fans or any other types of openings to the electronics.
Sure, if you can be certain it will reamin dry, no moisture what so ever.
You may want to invest in a marine amp. see link
