Read some of the earlier posts on this thread about the difference between the two. Many HAM and/or SSB radios can operate on the other system. They are both high frequency, just different bands. If you buy the older HAM rig mentioned above, it will probably operate on Marine SSB, you just need to be able to tune it and select upper sideband.
There are used marine SSB out there as well. Installation, antenna, and grounding will probably have as much to do with performance as the type or age of the rig.
