Ya and I don't ever speed or blow black smoke either!
My thought is why spend $150 on a Cobra29 and then pay to have it peaked and tuned if the 150 does it already. Besides the guys I 4wheel with already have them "peaked and tuned and then a bit".

DON'T get a 25 NW ST WX. They don't have a RF gain switch. That is a must have in my book. Too much background noise without it.

the 150 and 148 both have crap finals they are not built very well compared to the 29. I have seen 10 year old 29's still beating around without any complaints. I personally had a galaxy 95t and the thing lived in the shop. Had a couple of magnums and they seem to hold up well. I'm running a S-9 with a 400watt linear behind it right now.
If you want to keep it simple get a wilson 1000 mag mount with a cobra 29 tuned to about 40- 45 watts and it will last you forever

Any radio will burn out eventually with tuning and boosting and whatnot...I say if yur only gonna use it for CB band...just get a 29 and go from there...but if any of yall out there talk on the 10 meter bands like I do...get yurself a license and get a REAL radio!

You can get a 29 NW ST WX for ~$130. P&T is ~$25. Get a DM452 power mic (w/ echo) and a REAL antenna. Not a cheap POS antenna. Gets out pretty good.

I like the 25 for its small size, I reccomend it a lot to new wheelers who want a smaller/compact radio. I myself do like the RF gain though.
