Picture of VHF Antenna Mounting on 07 Tournament 205 Needed

[JAdams1]

Hi All, anybody have a picture of where you mounted your VHF antenna base? Thank you.

Best bet (although there's no reason you can't put it somewhere else) is stbd side, outside the window. Google for pics of your boat - I'm sure there are a ton of them on the net that you can find in 8 seconds. But generally, that would be the easiest location. Even at that location, though, there is no "exact" spot - just look at the area, including the backside, and do it. Believe me, this isn't rocket science - don't get too caught up in the 'perfect' location - just put it where it makes sense to you.

Mine is about a foot forward of this one. Drill through the vertical surface just below where the forward most portion of the window frame and put a clamshell over once you’ve run the coax into the console. You can then either drill another whole into the glove box, or mount a black box type vhf with mic controls in the console.

Google Boat trader Grady Tournament 205s for sale and you will see a few examples.

Here an pic from one search where the antenna is more forward than others

Wow, your Tournament is really clean!

You definitely want it so you can get at it from the helm. If you need to drop it for any reason, it will be a snap.
