If I was buying one, I'd go with a dash mount. The handhelds are pretty limited in range. The price difference isn't much. OK dash mounts run about 150 or so if you buy them on sale. Check Cabela's and BPS in the bargain caves and the sale fliers. The only extra cost you'd have over a handheld is the antenna/cable which should be about 60 or so if I remember right.
Cabela's Radios
Bass Pro Shops Radios
As far as mounting goes, if you don't want to permanent mount it look into making up a box for it. I know I've seen truck driver's that run local, or that use different trucks all the time, mount their CB's in something similar to a tackle box. Cut a hole in the front to mount the radio through and a couple through the back for antenna and power cables. That way you can take it from one boat to another and transfer it to your new boat later. The only thing you'll have to check on with that setup is the antenna mount. I don't know how those antenna's get grounded back. Might need to rig something extra up for that.
Just a couple ideas.
