Marine Radios - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I like the west marine line of radios I have a west marine vhf160 floating 6 watt. Cost me $160. The reason I went with it:

6 watts
Floats
Not bulky
Ergonomic
One of the best waterproof-ratings
Comes with a rechargeable battery but also a seperate tray that takes AAA's
Affordable
Mic input

So far I love my radio I've taken it out 4-5 times and still has 4 bars on the battery, although that's not heavy use.
