Re: VHF Antenna lengths
Go with a very good 8' antenna. You need to have one with a brass ferrule, mated to a brass or stainless mount. DOn't worry about having it lay out horizontal, it will be fine. Jus attach a bungie or tie-down from the cleat to the upper 1/3 of the antenna to keep it from oscillating through a big arc while trailering.
