Hi all- I have a 94 300 Sundancer. My current antenna somehow had to tip snap off. I want to replace it and was looking at a Shakespeare galaxy. What do you all recommend as one of the best out there?
Thanks Chris
 
I would think the best will have brass elements and not just a section of coax in it , But to obtain maximum power and distance have the ant tuned to your radio.Beg or borrow
Shakespeare ART-3 Antenna Radio Tester
 
We run Shakespeare Galaxy’s of various sizes on all our boats. They work.

I can’t confirm they are the best, but our radios work fine.
 
It is all about length and how high antenna is located. Longer, higher - better range. Also antenna should be vertical to sea level to get optimum range.
