What’s funny? That they work (of course they do)? No one disputed that a marine band radio would work on land. This issue is they are illegal to use on land. If you want to ignore that law, go right ahead.
Are they better than ham or MURS, both of which are legal? Probably not. But hey, they are pretty cheap and if you are far enough from the coast I guess you don’t need to worry too much about getting caught.
