I can FINALLY say something... 
Spektrum Radiosjust announced the release of their new MR3000 Marine Receiver.
More details and information can be found here:
I have been testing these receivers for them since the start of the season this year and have had very good results. I've tested them in my P-Spec OPC Tunnel at ranges out to 980ft (that's as long as the lake I was on... so I couldn't go any further), and still had full control of the model.
These RXs are VERY light, and are potted in a water-resistant casing, which is a great feature. They are essentially water-proof.
There are two antenna. I run mine with the main (longer) antenna as far out of the boat as possible, and I just lay the secondary antenna inside the cowling. Seems to work great. The attached pictures show the initial testing version, where I ran the second antenna outside the radio box and down the side, but the released version I just coiled the second antenna inside and it seems to work fine.
From what I've been told, the only official products at this time with Marine support are the DX3S and the MR3000 (that's the receiver itself). Some other radios will eventually be added as we can train, support, etc. Some radios will NOT be upgraded, in particular the old 2.0/3.0 series.
