I'm in the market for a used boat and came across a cheap Apelco Marine Radio Model VHF-5200. I am hoping to buy something in the 18-24 foot range and use it on Glendale Lake in west-central PA (near Altoona) for Muskie and Bass fishing and also Lake Erie and Lake Ontario within a few miles of shore for Steelhead, Salmon and Laketrout fishing. So I don't even have my boat bought yet, but was wondering if anyone has experience with this radio and if it would suit my needs. I've never owned a boat before but have had many CB radios. I would want it for safety reasons, emergencies, weather reports, and to communicate with other fishermen.
