I am not knocking the boat as I think its beautiful I just hate to see a brand new boat unsafe before it even hits the water.

I had the same question, at one time I had a ham amature radio license I can't imagine that antenna would do well being mounted that low. I asked the guy at Chris's and he said it would talk great and that was where they mounted all of them. It matters to me because I fish offshore alot with my family during the summer.
