Standard Horizon GX1400GB and a Shakespeare Quick Connect mount with 3 ft antenna. It is almost exactly the height of the tower which is what I was looking for. I'll probably grab a 7 or 8 footer to keep on the boat and swap out in case offshore needs or emergencies.

Nice install, I like how you used a tower clamp for the antenna. Less drilling is always good.

Thank you! I really like that mounting option as well. I can't take credit for the idea, saw others here on the site came up with it.

Yes, I like the clamp too. I mounted my AM/FM antenna in 2016 with a Amazon.com : Krypt Towers Small Wakeboard Tower Speaker Clamp - 1 1/4", 1 1/2", 1 5/8", 1 3/4", 1 7/8", or 2" : Wakeboarding Equipment : Sports & Outdoors . If yours is a Krypt Towers clamp, looks like one. I liked it so much that I added another one for th QC VHF antenna in 2017. I may have been the first here to use that clamp. I had not seen it here before used for that purpose.
A quick search of "Krypt towers speaker clamp" will show my posts/pics. then.
