Here are some of the Laird antennae I have available and use. From left to right, I use the Laird 1/4 wave unity gain with my Kenwood TK880-1 on my Porsche up in the hills and mountains during the Porsche Driving Tour runs with great success; the middle antenna is the B4502N non-ground plane 2.4 dB 1/2 wave I use with my Motorola XTL5000 on my 21 Silverado Dually Diesel; and the right antenna is my Laird B4505NS non-ground plane 5/8 wave 5 dB antenna that I never had to use so far.
Based on the information posted, you should be ok with the quarter wave unity gain antenna.  Try that one first and if you feel you need a little more antenna than the 1/2 wave B4502N that is propery tuned would be the next antenna to try. The 1/4 wave unity gain does not require any tuning.

As I said in my above post about losing my Firestik II on a Jeep run, I received my replacement Firestik II 5 Foot antenna a couple days ago and the early morning temps today were in the 80s so I made time to tune the new antenna. My spare antenna was only a 2 Foot Firestik II antenna.
I was able to tune the new 5 foot antenna to 1.0:1 across the board. The meter needle did moved off of "0" but barely and it was not even close to "1.1:1. I have never seen a tune almost perfect like this before.
Just for giggles, I rechecked the 2 Ft. Antenna and I was 1.2:1 to 1.3:1 across the board.
On my next Jeep Trail Run, I'll use the 2 footer antenna on the trails and just use the 5 Foot antenna for highway use only.

OK, then... We have a live one here. 
Part of what I do for a living is track down and market vertical real estate for commercial radio use.  So while you may think I don't know what I am talking about, I can assure you I do. 
So I will now just spell it out.  If you don't have interest from ham operators then you are wanting too much money, or your tower is crap.  But it could be a combination of the two.  There aren't but two reasons that a tower that is height X can be 'easily extended' 30 feet to height Y.  It's either some crankup deal or someone got lazy and decided to not stack the rest of the tower. 
And you are in the same state as this
https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/ap-200-foot-radio-station-tower-stolen-without-a-trace-in-alabama-silencing-small-towns-voice/
So anything to do with a tower in that state is sketchy to begin with.  But maybe that's where the tower came from to begin with. 
If you are actually wanting to generate profit from the site, advertising it on Craigslist ain't gonna help.  Neither is finding hobby radio web sites and forums thinking you are going to find paying customers.  And assuming you have already approached all the commercial radio shops and got laughed out of the building and are marketing to hams and GMRS users on web forums tells me this thing must be a peach of a tower.  Which is why I mentioned that if the site is marketable and desirable you might consider listing it with the big three vertical real estate companies.  They will come in, tear down your crap, put up a multi carrier tower and let you park your stuff on it and PAY YOU to do it.  But of course the site needs to be desirable to them.   My guess is it's not. 
 
So, like the ham's and numerous others have said.   Good Luck.

Sunny Communications owns used-radios.com. They are a standa up place. I know multiple customers that deal with them on out of support equipment. Many have received parts and if there is an issue they just send another. I got one of our SAR repeaters from them. It was a like new 25 watt VHF which is what I wanted. Looked like it had never been installed when I unboxed it.

After hearing a few recommendations for the Motorola Quantar, a repeater that’s no longer in production (afaik) where is the best place to buy it?

We just finished setting up a Motorola Quantar 2m repeater and Arcom RC210 controller with a 6 can duplexer. We still need to get a Raspberry Pi programmed for Allstar. We are going to replace the Yaesu repeater with the Motorola. We did a lot of research before making a purchase of the Motorola Quantar and it was the best option for us.

I forgot to add that we are also going to eventually replace our 70cm Yaesu repeaters with Motorola Quantar repeaters in the near future. The Yaesus's have worked well for us over the years but it is time for an upgrade and the Motorola Quantar fits all of our needs.

Time will tell how the Bridgecom repeater holds up. So far we have not had any issues and we tested it by pushing it before opening it up to the public. It has handled everything we threw at it to include a high duty cycle. The repeater has been up and running for a year now.

AFAIK nobody else makes a "Part 95 GMRS Repeater"
Your best bet would be to look at LMR/UHF/H.A.M. repeaters.  None of them are simple to use, but the RPT50 IS simple to use.. as long as it works.

Maybe you should let American Tower and Crown castle know this because they dont care if its HAM or not. Its still $X per foot on the tower per month with liability and all the other stuff. 

Did you call antenna farm ? 

Quantar is excellent choice. You can find the 25 watt PA models with no issue but the 100 watt can be turned down with no issues. I reecvently switched all our SAR repeaters out to used Quantars and its night and day audio. 

VNA is the proper way to test it. DTF and RL is the base tests I run on all lines.

Yes, further proof that GMRS will become the new CB.
