Agree with you on this too. Unless you are going to change the radio out to a type N (or other low loss connector) and get an antenna with the same connection, it's pointless. What you gain you will lose in the adapter to go from UHF to N.

I've seen a few gold plated connectors, but they are serious overkill. Be sure to seal all coax connectors well, at least the ones exposed to the weather or in the bilge. Someone mentioned type N connectors. Not necessary. The "UHF" connectors, PL-259, SO-259 work just fine.
