If the boat already has a VHF antenna at the mast head, is it possible/sensible to use this instead of the bundled antenna?

Having two antennas up there would cause some interference, I would guess and it is extra wiring hassle.

You can use the vhf antenna on the mast. You will need something similar to these ones. https://www.milltechmarine.com/Antenna-Splitters_c_19.html
