Do you have a radio?

[Anthony]

I've been having this debate in my head on whether I should buy a marine radio or not for my sit down. I don't go out in the ocean very far (still in cell range) and the rest of the time I'm in the inlet or bay.

I was looking at this: http://tinyurl.com/je7xw and thought it was pretty cool because of its size and the price wasn't too bad. I was pretty close to buying it but then just figured, I could always just use my cell.

Thoughts?

It really depends on how comfortable you are and where you do your riding....

Myself I hardly ever ride alone and if I do people know the general location I'll be in. Plus the area I ride there is always Cell signal, enough traffic that somebody is bound to stop and help out if need be and at worst case, it's not a far swim to safety.

If I was in bigger bodies of water, way off shore, or unfamiliar territory I'd have one.

on the ocean alone I'd think two radios (cell + vhf) woud be smart.

I have to agree.
