Where have you guys put your VHF antenna’s?
I kind of hate the thought of mounting on the side of the boat and have looked at some of the rail mounts, but not sure what I want to do. Anyone have pictures of what you have done?

No holes and is below the railing so the cover doesn't touch it.

could you hide under the gunnels somwhere. Cut down the atenna if its doesnt fit and just go underneath. I thought about this but the Ipod does the job, but it would be nice to just flick on the radio and call it a day.

VHF works by line of sight. Best if up high as possible, plus the signal would be more verticle, vs horizontal if mounted laying down.
