Most places you're gonna mount a sub in a boat almost make it a sealed enclosure by default. You can build a truly sealed box to specs behind where-ever you mount the sub at, but your boat hull is pretty much a big fiberglass box as it is. Most subs if mounted solid, will sound good in a boat(hull).

Many marine stereos have an exact car stereo counterpart with the primary difference being a conformal coating on the circuit board(s) of the marine-rated offering . It's not potted and all devices/components above the board are essentially unprotected. It does offer some protection against corrosion.

DIN is a standard that was created by the German standards body Deutsches Institut für Normung ("DIN"). The standard specifies a height and width for car head units. When a unit is referred to as a single DIN car stereo, or a single DIN car radio, that means it is the height and width outlined in the DIN standard.
You are right you could put a car stereo in a boat and would generally be fine if you know that you would be careful to not get it wet (or touch it with wet hands/fingers).
