According to post in this newsgroup, we need a metal plate for
grounding if we use a 3dB antenna, and a fiberglass boat doesn't have
it. My boat is a fiberglass boat. What's the alternative? Does this
mean that I cannot use 3dB antenna?


There is no need for a ground with a VHF antenna.

Either the 3 db or 6 db antenna will be adequate for near shore
coastal operation.
