Post Speaking of radios
Yall ever considered putting a cb radio in your rig? We do alot of frogging at night and running lines and I figured it would be a good idea.

VHF seems like it would reach further than a CB

Are you wanting one hard wired or hand held? Hand held is only good for short range because it lacks the antenna. I have a 8' antenna on the Robalo & have a hand held in my ditch bag.

I personally like my Raymarine VHF, I have a very expensive hand held VHF that emits a GPS signal & emergency broadcast feature. I have a cheaper version of that one for the Gator-Tail.

Any of these are good...
