good antenna
By diyoung
it has great reception, and is easy to install, but it sometimes falls down in rough seas, which I didn't know.

Good antenna, good range
By JuanDolio
This is a good antenna, and whenever I have done radio checks on the boat, I have gotten, "crystal clear" for a response. Integral cable is good, end was simple to put on, although the directions were lacking. Only complaint is that the pin that goes through the base to hold the antenna is already rusting, and I only used the boat 6 or 7 times in salt water last year, and I hose down the boat every use using a brush. If this boat were kept on a mooring or a slip, this would have only lasted 1 season and made a rusty mess.

Small boat marine antenna
By Fish King
A nice antenna for a small boat. The fact that it folds makes it easy to stow to put the cover on. The db rating is also suitable for a vessel that tends roll. If you have a larger boat that is stable, go with a higher db rating.
