Working on my brothers boat, a 16.5 foot outboard trihull (yes its old) ...
I am unsure of what antenna will work... Mag mount is out,, due to
fiberglass hull and I dont know how to setup a "normal" antenna to work
correctly... any suggestions as to ground return or no ground antennas...
This will be a normal 40 channel am only radio... NOTHING extra..

On Wednesday, you were looking for one. Tonight, you're recommending
it highly. Did you get one? Have you actually USED it?
A 39 inch, no GP antenna is as worthless as a thru-glass cellular look-alike at 27 MHz.
Report your findings on this antenna to us after you waste your money.
We'd all like a laugh...

SHAKESPEARE make a line of excellent CB marine antennas. Just check any of
your better marine/boating supply houses.
