It's like any other GMRS/FRS radio but also with marine freqs/channels. Power is .5 to 6 watt depending on what frequency is being operated. Lower on FRS and 6W available on marine. Power levels and the way the radios are constructed for those bands are regulated by the FCC.
You're not going to increase range. They will not transmit any further than any other GMRS/FRS radio because they operate on VHF/UHF frequencies. VHF/UHF are line of sight. You might get a couple of miles across flat ground or water with no obstructions. Trees, even fog, can greatly reduce the range.
If you want adventure in your life get caught transmitting on the marine channels while on land and using those channels as if you're on FRS/GMRS/CB.
