I'd say get a mobile in the band of your choice (CB/GMRS) and a handheld in the other as a backup. (Or just be radio dork like me and have CB, 10M, 12M, GMRS, 2M and 70cM all in your truck...). 😉

Great video, can i use an base station antenna on my boat ? Would like a big antenna there. Not use what you mentioned about the length of the coax, if i need a specific length on it to tune right.

On a boat you should start with a VHF Marine Radio. Unless you are adding a CB /GMRS as a backup.
Boats usually have 6/7ft long vhf antennas.

Today CB radios are not CB radios that were popular in the 60s and 70s, The FCC has recently authorized Frequency Modulation on CB radio, which traditionally Amplitude Modulation. To me, I think using a CB radio on FM with PL tone, would have same distance as FRS/GMRS simplex channels. Of course, the FCC didn't authorize an increase output power, but with the proper antenna, any 4-watt CB will sound just as good as 5-watt GMRS or even MURS, which is restricted to only 2 watts
