Way Radio
What would you do for safety on a boat, get a two-way radio or a GPS?
Or should I get a two-way radio with a GPS?...Looked into that...and its about $300-$400...Either one should be waterproof...Would a simple two-way handheld radio be enough?
A marine radio should be at the top of your list. A GPS would be handy if you ever go very far from your home port, or from land, or if your usual territory has shoals or other obstacles. I'd be leery about having an all-in-one unit, though. One dead battery would leave you without both units. You can get a basic, hand-held GPS for somewhere around $150-200, loaded with maps. A handheld marine radio is in the same neighborhood.
You likely spent at least several thousand dollars for the boat. These 2 items would be maybe 2-5% of the boat's cost. That's pretty cheap insurance. If you can't afford these, you can't really afford the boat, IMHO.
