You can also use the preprogrammed message buttons to check in with friends/ family and let them know you locations and that you're ok.
Only real issue was when climbing mt rainier, the mountain interfered with satellite triangulation and it didn't work well.
Looks like spot would cost you more over time with subscription costs.
It is satellite based so broad coverage while out in open which would be the case in your boat.
You do have to be able to push the button to call for help. If you have tracking feature anyone can check on your location at anytime if you give them web link.

Spot is great smaller too but if my life depended on it I would have both just a few hundred bucks

This.
Buy a EPIRB and you may need to change the battery every few years, but with SPOT you have to purchase a subscription ($100/yr is the cheapest plan, I think), so the SPOT will end up costing you more in the long run.
