FWIW, the ICOM's have long been favored among sailors, or at least that has been my impression for some years. The newsletter "Practical Sailor" (no advertisements, contains product reviews, is a bit pricey and has become repetetive) has many times reviewed handheld VHF's; I believe they tend to come out in favor of the ICOM. I have owned a couple of ICOMs and found them quite good, but haven't yet had to worry about being so close to the water. . . never submerged one.
