Congrats on the new boat I'm planning on 'dipping my toe' in the used boat buy & sell market in a few months (or as my Admiral puts it Sell, then Buy). I've never seen the market so 'scary/crazy' given the upside-down supply & demand situation. It used to be the '... more...
I installed a 4' antenna when I added a VHF to my boat. I was able to get clear reception at about 8 miles to our local radio test station going over land/hills, no line of sight. Never tested it further to see when it would drop-off. While an 8' would be even better, it seeme... more...

This looks like a solution to a problem that was solved decades ago when someone invented fenders and dock lines. $400 buys a lot of fenders and lines and like FR said fenders don't sink. Looks like an item they would sell to millennials who just bought their first boat.... more...
