They review all VHF's from a consumers point of view. The radio I have linked there is the one I will be buying. I looked at all radios of all brands and it seems to be the best floating one out there. Has good battery life, 5 watts (highest available is 6 watts through Icom but that model does not float and has a special battery), and AA batterys can be used in case the recharchables run out (a lot of the Icoms require a special battery and I would like to be able to swap batterys out quick if need be).
Cabelas has it for $130.

I have several Icom hand helds IC-M32 and IC-M34 (floating model) and they work great. I use my Icom IC-M34 all day long. It comes off the charger at 7am and has heavy use all day and does not go back on the charger till after 5pm. Has not let me down yet even in the winter.
