VHF suggestions needed...

[k5ranger]

need opinions or experienced opinions as to which vhf radio...hand held or fixed mount...will better fit my needs.

i am aware of the range differnces, but since i will only be at the coast once , maybe twice a year, and since 99% of that will be spent in the ICW, will a hand held be sufficient? i have a friend who says i can borrow his if i need it.

and who wants to share their hot spots for trout or reds at Oak Island????? i'll share my hot spots on High Rock!!!
