I think Fishermans Marine carries them. Dont know what type boat you are mounting it on but i would suggest you get the kind that you can lay down. Makes storing the boat a lot easier. I had the large whip type and it worked really well. If Fishermans do not have them i think Radio Shack has them also. Cagey.

Also look at West Marine next to GIJOES and Fishermans at Delta Park. Or you can try Boaters World in Janzen Beach.

Dustin, West Marine Products carries them and they are cheaper than Fishermans. Just purchased a new one last month, mine cracked. West Marine also has a web sit and you can order it over the internet or you can pick it up there at Delta Park if you wish. The web address is: www.westmarine.com or you can call: 1-800-BOATING (262-8464). These will run you anywhere from $30.00 to $300.00 Plus you have to buy the base. A good base made of Nylon runs you $9.99 and a Stainless steel base will run you around $35.00. I picked up a Nylon base and a Shakespear antenna I want to say I only paid $85.00 for the antenna. I can't tell you everything but the salesman can. He can tell you what you can afford and what you need.
good Luck - Tracy
