I have 2 icoms. But I venture offshore often. Wouldn't be a bad idea to get a handheld just incase. You never know.

I would get one installed in the new boat for sure. Only a couple of extra bucks and some piece of mind

There's a radio that works with your gps to send your coordinates to the coast gaurd if you hit the may day button.

I've got a waterproof hand held, but like Bob said a few extra bucks on a new rig wouldn't hurt. The also have those SPOT gps that require a yearly subscription. I just don't know much about them.

I also have a waterproof handheld. I would carry it along with my waterproof, floating handheld GPS in the ocrap bag when we went offshore
