I've also considered the possibility of a higher powered unit built into
the boat with a small remote control.

A higher power transmitter will help the Coast Guard hear you but will
do nothing for you hearing the Coast Guard. More antenna gain, and a
higher antenna are better solutions.


Going from 5 to 25 watts of FM will gain almost nothing. Raising the
antenna several feet from the sitting down position will gain a lot.
