My dealer is installing a 4ft stainless VHF antennae due to my bimini

Let me guess: Neither you nor the dealer wants to muss that pretty new
fiberglass by drilling mounting holes in it?

BINGO!!! Actually, the dealer is more than happy to drill away- I just told
him to hold off until I think it through a little. I
drilled/mounted/sawed/etc all OVER my little Bayliner- but I really don't
want to break the tools out on this new boat the day I pick it up- and it's
supposed to be 75F Friday, so I'll definitely be in the water with it as
soon as I fill'er up!


That reminds me of my great uncle's mindset. He always kept a life jacket
on the swim step, but never actually wore one. He reasoned that if he were
ever thrown overboard that he could simply swim aft and put it on, and no
amount of reasoning could convince him that wasn't a very good idea.

Same reason I bring tools. If I didn't bring them, something breaks. Bring
them- everything's okey-dokey.

Thanks for the input!
