Default Marine 2m Antenna wanted

I just use 1/4 wave whips on mine - one for 2 meters and a longer one
for FM broadcast, mounted on the T-top's antenna mounting plates. Just
something to consider if you cannot find the longer marine antenna that
you're looking for.

Thanks, Bob,

I've thought about doing just that. A 1/4 wave on 2m is about 19" and
would not require folding down. I was kinda hoping to find some gain
which would also match the VHF Marine band antenna next to where it
would be, but I can't find anything so far.
