Default 2-way radio ????

We have a pair of the cheap Cobra micro talk walkie-talkies. When we go out boatin' we leave one at the trailer and take the other on the boat so if someone shows up to join us they can give us a shout and we can go pick them up. (no cell service where we boat, and that aint a bad thing) This works pretty good on our usual lake, but when we are on vacation on the 1st Conn lake they don't have the range to always reach us. We are thinking of getting a 2-way for the boat, to hopefully pick up the walkie at the greater distance.

First would this accomplish what we want?

Second, I think what I want is a marine CB, but the terms VHF, UHF, FRS, GMRS are confusing me as to what would be compatible with our walkies we already have.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
