99% of boating is on the cheap.... If not, Searay, Bayliner, Regal and
the rest of the Freshwater boat brands would never sell a boat to the
coastal community and the only small boats would be whalers with twins
and the only cruisers would be Nordhaven.
Where safety is concerned though and you are out of swimming distance...
..redundancy is king... get them both.

are in your dinghy, headed to your boat at night, the motor dies and
you are being swept out to sea by a strong current? I can think of
many cases where I would find a handheld MUCH more useful. That's why
I have both.
