Recommend getting one with DSC which with one button push will send your exact coordinates correctly to the Coast Guard.

Waterproof and floating VHF that were on my short list were Standard Horizon HX851, Uniden MHS235, and the Icom M92D. Battery life varies considerably between these three radios as does the degree of waterproofing for the speaker.
