Personally, I had a UNIDEN hand held that I used on lake Erie when I was on my 28' speed boat. I thought it did an OK job until I broke down and tried to use it to call a tow boat. It was capable of 6 watts TX but I still could not contact them. So I had to get help from another captain and have them relay the information for me. After that I installed a built in and a whip antenna. Nearly the same cost and much better performance. I ended up using that thing on every lake we went to. I did not know how handy they were until I got one.
Save your money and make the investment to get a good built in radio and antenna. It could save your life... Especially on LAKE ERIE as it can change in minutes or you could hit something and need it really quick.. Just my opinion.
