Pete,
You can get water"proof" CB's with a 10 channel weather band. (I have one)
VHF is a different animal. It's FM and runs in the 157.5 to 159 frequency range (or there abouts). CB's are AM, and are parked down around 38. These are generalizations, and I apologize. I know as I type this, the more knowledgible folks are responding as well.
The weather band is in the 162 range. It's common to find the weather receivers in with CB's and car radio's now.
