I've decided to buy a radar. Do you guys buy a radar mount or is it cheaper to have one built and powder coated. It has to be a short pedestal with an anchor light.

It may work a little better, but more importantly, it moves the transmitter further away from your noggin and gets those microwaves a little higher for anyone at the stern. For my own system, the mount also allowed me to add a life raft cannister to the hard top.Thanks for the replies. I checked online and agree that $150 seems to be the price. I guess I don't need to put on a mount, but thought it just looks better up high.
Does the radar work any better raised up a little?
No issues that way more tree branches. I think I need 13'6" if I remember right when sitting on the trailer.Have you ever run into issues towing? I can't think of any spots that I might smack it. Gas stations all have lots of clearance. Don't they?
