Just Getting Started With A VHF Radio - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I understand that a VHF radio is a must to have on the yak.
There are so many radios out there on the market place and there's also one listed at our site "Online Store".
I realize that it needs to be water proof and must float. It also needs to have a good, clear, legible sound with a loud volume control.

What else should I be looking for in a quality VHF radio? What makes a good one stand out from the rest besides it's $ price?

Can you recommend brands? Brand name(s) and model number(s)?

Any hands on shared knowledge or experience will be appreciated.
