What are you guys using - got a 20’ CC, not T-Top, don’t go offshore - just looking for something with decent reception that will look good as well. Picks of what you got and how you have it mounted would be AWESOME…

If you stay inshore, why not a handheld?

for his 17’ scout CC. it works well and can be locked in the up position or pointed down when backing boat under storage shed or garage. the antenna is only 3’ but you can get longer ones. just check the base threads to make sure they match up with the mount. there is a rail that wraps around the console that he mounted the clamp mount to. the longer the antenna, the higher off the water and more range you will get to your VHF.

ddd,
I had a brainfart earlier.
I was thinking FM.

Here’s one that may be just what you’re looking for.
