Default Which radio for boat?

Hello,

I have been out of r/c boating for several years and am interested in purchasing a mid-range priced radio system. I have run an ancient Futaba (75mhz ?) airplane system with no problems. I have also heard that they have a longer range than surface systems. Thoughts? I run my boats by myself and don't race. I have also heard a lot of bad things about 2.7 mhz systems losing control (Thoughts). Is there a practical use for a 3 channel system or is 2 channel O.K.? I don't need to spend a lot of money, but shy away from spending more than I need to. I am putting it in a Dumas Deep Vee 60 (nitro)and might put it in a Dumas deep vee 10 (Possible electric, currently COX .049)

P.S. I fly heli and have a JR 9303 system already

Any advise is appreciated.
