I do remember in the 60's that "CB" was really popular for boating (prior to the "CB" licensing requirement's removal) and that "Marine Control" (callsign KBC8913) used to monitor Channel 13. From what I've read here, now that the licensing requirement for Marine has been removed, marine vhf seems to be taking over for "on the water".
