It's certainly possible a booster on a push-up mast will do the trick.
Back in the working years we put a repeater at about 70 ft above the water line and could hit cell-towers 50+ miles at sea.
Today, yes Verizon gives better coverage. BUT, T-Mobile has a new band they are currently deploying. Since this band is -lower- in frequency the coverage area will be improved both in rural areas and in buildings.
BUT this change is at least a year from being anything like full coverage.
