Re: Whats a good Battery Cost??
I think that was a good idea. I have 3 - group 27 batteries in my boat and they seem a little under powered...yes the el cheapo Fleet Farm batteries They are ok for my situation, sitting at the marina all the time and trolling the rest.
I would think for a boat your size the next group up is a great idea.

Re: Whats a good Battery Cost??
I have to figure out where to put the box for the genny. I have a few choices. When my boat was stored for 10 years, they never removed the batteries. Eventually, the battery for the genny split open from freezing. The wood underneath is shot from the acid, and I see no way to install new wood unless I could find somebody the size of a five year old to get in there.
