Just thinking where to mount it as I didn't fancy anymore holes in the bodywork for the aerial also I've heard it has to be artificially grounded as well .Idears or photos welcome cheers

Your best bet would be a marine aerial that doesn't require a ground-plane.
This is one example

As I said it will be the best you can do, just the same as an aerial on your house, so yes they're good.
Having said that a mobile phone is going to be cheaper and far more versatile.
