Default Re: Poor VSWR on Fibre glass construction boats

There were 1/2-wave marine-band antennas available [essentially a half-wave end-fed dipole] which minimised the need for a ground-plane.

I also successfully used "Antenna Specialists" VHF half-wave antennas on vehicles with GRP ~High-top~ roofs.
