I've had bad luck with the west marine brand radio. The seal that keeps the battery waterproof is not very good. But if you get their warranty, might be fine

Yeah, I want my radio to fail on the one day I have an on-the-water emergency because I was cheap, and saved $$$ buying a second rate radio with an extended warranty that fails due to the seal around the battery compartment (or whatever else.)
Sorry, but I find it amazing that guys will spend $200-$400 on each reel, and be cheap on a device that could save their life.
Not picking on you Brad, just thought I'd point out the obvious flaw for the novices out there that worship your posts...
