Hi,

I was just curious to find out how many boats have a marine radio. The
reason I fly volunteer patrols for the Coast Guard auxilary and having a
marine radio makes it much easier to provide help.

I have a pontoon boat on 60,000 acre lake and use a handheld. A friend that
also has a pontoon on the same lake has a permanent mount marine radio. I'm
sure we're in the minority.
