Sounds like u r looking for a submarine radio. Best thing is to hunt for a robbe or graupner radio. Those Tx can be customise for boats.

Cheaper to buy a used 9 channel futaba or Jr radio and customise it.

by customise, is it something a novice can do, or need help

We are not talking about modifying the electronics, the customization here is basically to put the guts of the tx into a new box with the relevant switches and dials etc.

I would say someone with some idea of electrical and mechanical knowledge would be able to handle the job. Nothing to do with experience with this hobby. Some poly students customise their tx for the robotic control system.
