    I have the antenna mounted on top of my boat. I use it for emergencys & to find out where the fishing is best. Also to find out where my friends are. It is mounted with a fold down mount which I do when I have to trailer it.

      Antennae comes with a mount but I wanted it on my T-top so didn't use it. Comes with easy to follow instructions if you need them. Well packaged, came wrapped in bubble wrap inside a tube. Didn't see any issues with it and haven't had any problems using it so far offshore.

                I bought the Cobra VHF package and the 8 foot Shakespear antenna was part of the package. I have the antenna mounted on my gunal. It only takes up 1 inch of room. When folded down it rides clipped on the gunal and still takes no room. I have had great reception so far. It is a definate good buy.
