I would agree with Shep on not skimping on an antenna.

VHF is a line of sight communication system. The higher the tip of the antenna, the more range capability you have, given little obstruction between you and who you are contacting. Put a bunch of islands in between you and the other party, and range drops quite a bit.

Most fixed mount radios will be 25 watt, and honestly, if you stay with a known brand, you will be good to go.

Steve
