get it

Water resistant only... Still a nice unit and a great price (Ok, so it is VERY water resistant) Mine leaked...

" It meets rigid IPX8 submersibility standards and is backed by a comprehensive waterproof warranty so, while it doesn’t float, it’ll more than handle most onboard chores."

Just me.  I'd save my $$ for a floating model. I know somebody who found out the hard way.   
Great deal though!

good point...how do you make a warranty claim for a unit at the bottom of the ocean

I know a guy who lost a floating VHF...

Ok I've had this model for over a year and I'm on my 4th one, if that means anything. Good warranty

i'm conflicted...i've lost alot of gear, Del Valle, SPD, HMB...maybe I should get one that floats and put a leash on it!

Mine is lanyard-ed to the PFD... Hard to loose that way

Water resistant only... Still a nice unit and a great price (Ok, so it is VERY water resistant) Mine leaked...

They all leak.  IPX7 is the usual rating on most radios.  IPX8 is a higher rating and the one on this unit.   Still, don't trust any radio not to leak over the long haul.

So here is how I keep my non floating standard horizon VHF with me. I have a zip pocket on my PFD and leave a Mirror Signalling device, whistle, cliff bars, chap stick, Disposable gloves, jerky ect... in it. clip Radio to shoulder strap
