I would stay with the ICOM brand

A close friend is buying a skiff for inshore fishing and I
can't talk
him into installing a "permanent" VHF radio with antenna. So
for XMAS, I
plan on buying him a portable VHF as a gift.
But there are so many of them out there. I have a ICOM
portableI use
(rarely) as a backup on my boats, but it is a few years old
and probably
no longer in production.
Any suggestions? Since it is for a small boat, ruggedized
and
water-resistance are important characteristics.
What should I buy for a good-quality VHF portable for a
gift?
