What antenna do you guys use on your pwc's. Im looking for something compact that will get a good signal. Is there such a thing?

What kind of radio? I just use a handheld, the ant it comes with is short and stows well

If we are talking about VHF, West Marina has an assortment of short whip antennas. Remember VHF signal is line of site comm only. Basically from about the middle of your antenna hieght, wether its a stubby on a handheald, a short whip or a 12 footer.
Nutshell- height is better for transmitting longer distances.
