2 way radio for boat?

[TENRMORE]

Does anybody recommend a good two way radio, I want one that is mounted in the boat? I also heard that a good antenna was more important than the radio? I'm trying to get my boat ready to go off-shore.

Thanks..

Hope this helps. Taller antenna the better. http://www.boat-project.com/tutorials/vhfant.htm

I highly recommend an E-Pirb for offshore also.
