Thanks for all the input. I think onboard is the most attractive option so far. Was wondering if there might be any concerns for installation in a
aluminum boat?

On A VHF radio, the cable length is not a part of the transmission. On my house base radio, I added a length of cable and it no way affected my
reception or transmission. I asked at the radio shop where I bought my 5/8 wave antenna and they indicated that with VHF, the length was not an
issue.
