Do You have any feedback on which is the best or better VHF radio to buy?

I was looking at the new Cobra?

I really can't tell you which hand held is best, but if ou are only going to be in the river or close by in Erie than a hand held may be OK. I had a Gramin hand held and it seemed like most times I was talking to myself? It didn't have much range at all. I ended up getting a Lowrance unit with the 8' antena and now I can't get the thing to shut up
