AND, you need a FCC license to operate one on water. (Or at least you did
when I had a boat several years ag0)

Marine handheld radios operate on VHF and are limited to line-of-sight  
communications--perhaps you might get 3-5 miles on open water from a 5 watt
set,  
less on land.  It is illegal to use Marine radios for land  communications.

You might want to consider Marine radios.  You can buy  hand held units for
around $100 a pop and are not restricted by line of  sight.
