Looking a little deeper I found that the voice scrambler option for a hand held is only available on the Submersible and intrinsically safe HS370S model.

Looked it up on the West Marine site.....

That's 300 bucks for just the radio, add another $112.00 for the voice scrambler.....

The radio can also be programmed for land mobile frequencies, but you would have to buy the radio from an authorized Standard-Verizon radio dealer....(not a discount outlet like West Marine)....show proof of the proper FCC license to have them program it.
Now this might make the radio worth a look see if you are a ham and a boater, and assuming it will program down into the 2 meter band, you could have a VHF Marine radio with 2 meter repeater frequencies complete with CTCSS or DSC tone encoding, and a voice scrambler......

BTW....from what I read, the voice scrambler only has 4 code settings, so if you got one it would only be a matter of listening to the other fishermen, and changing the settings until you found the one they are using......
