So, you can consider my station to be "fixed-mobile". I run an ICOM 756 Pro3 powered by 4 deep cycle AGM batteries tied in parallel. My HF antenna is a High Sierra 1800DX screwdriver on a 28' mast. The mast is 2" OD, 1/4" wall, 6061 aluminum, which is secured to the deck railing. The railing has been reinforced with steel L bars and 2 X 6 pressure treated lumber.

As you can see in the photo, I do enjoy the digital modes. I run an APRS weather station 7 X 24.

I spend about half my time in Florida, so only get to play here for part of the year. I do run an ICOM 706 MKIIG in the car, especially on my trips to and from Florida. That setup uses a 102" whip and an LDG auto tuner.

Hope to see you on the bands.
