If it were me, I'd try a random wire (fine magnet wire)  with a balloon off
the back of the boat. You will need a tuner and don't forget some form of
ground system...maybe some copper foil glued to the hull.

Any ideas for a quick and dirty HF antenna I can rig on my boat?  I'd be
running my old TenTec at low power, about 5watts, off a 12v battery.
