Husband bought the 17' Lund Mr. Pike boat last week. Need a marine
radio. Have no clue what to get. Plans to go out into Lake Michigan at
times, as well as smaller inland lakes.
Help - any recommendations appreciated!!


If you've got GPS -- you may want to spend the extra $10 or whatever ot get the
DSC version of the radio -- this is a great boost for emergencies & locating
you. If you don't have gps & don't plan on it, for a17' I'd get a handheld
that's water proof. I have a SH hx350s radio -- I like it. I keep it strapped
to my PFD so it's always close. In an open boat I'd rather have that as getting
tossed out in a swell is a possibility.
