That model should be on sale for $99 this July 4th. I have also had good luck with it.

Thanks again everyone for more info. Looking at getting a standard horizon I think. They got a 20$ rebate going on a lot of their models thru July 31st

And if you don't buy one that floats or wager proof... buy the radio dry bag and lanyard it to the kaYak.

Radio works fine talking and hearing through plastic. I bought one on Craigslist 3 years ago. Still works great. $60, I think.
