Your boat floats, so shouldn't your VHF radio float too?

Floating VHF radios are nothing new, but Cobra’s model MR HH475 FLT BT floats and has a ton of other features. It has Bluetooth so you can carry on cell phone conversations through the Cobra radio. That's perfect if you want to leave your cell phone in a protected area of your boat and talk outdoors in stormy weather. The strangely named "BURP" feature vibrates water out of the speaker grill if it gets wet. That feature is designed to help improve performance in extreme conditions. Tri-Watch allows monitoring of three channels at once (2 user selected & emergency channel 16). It receives all NOAA Weather Channels & Emergency Weather Alerts too. And finally, the Rewind-Say-Again feature lets you record and replay up to 20 seconds of a call. That could be a lifesaver if you need critical information and have no way to write it down. The Cobra ships with a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, charger and AC/DC adapters. MSRP is $179.95, but discounts are easy to find. It's here on Amazon for $135. I have not shopped at this e-tailor, but found it with a web search on Google:
