The problem I see in most antenna trees is that the builders don't make the cross piece wide enough so the folding antenna mounts can be mounted fore and aft,so when you fold down the antenna it folds aft.The mount must be able to be square to center line so the antennas are strait when locked.

MDI she looks great. do you have an inboard genset? If so I would go with Rab 400w metal halide off the sides and and a Rab floodinator off the stern. more light then you need prob. but it sure makes a difference. Mast is great looking. I will post some photos of my buddy's set up.
