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?
