Question battery problem

Took the boat to the water on Wed. Tried to start it once then twice, then nothing. Everything was dead, and when I say everything I mean not an ounce of juice was getting to my electronics, dash, trim, or starter. When I got back home I hooked up the battery charger(it was completely drained), it did take a charge rather quickly. It seems ever since I installed my Sony radio back around Christmas my battery drains fairly often. The only thing I can think of is, I have a habit of listening the the boat radio when I'm doing yard work(usually my wife's idea), washing my vehicles, or just sitting on my front porch enjoying the Fl. weather. Would that be enough to drain the battery w/o running the motor, or do I have a problem? The only electronics I have is the radio and a depth/fish finder. The boat is only 1 year old, bought it new.
Thanx
Brian
