Whatever you buy, get it from West Marine, that way you can take it back and get a replacement if it has a problem. Waterproof and floating if you can afford it. Maybe 6 watt transmit. Remembet with their short antenna it is effectively line of sight, so if you cant see them they might not hear you.
