Replace every 2 years.... I bought a Wally World Battery these past few times. One for the boat and one for the car. Both worked fine.

If you want to spend some extra money, the Optima batteries work well but the real benfits come into play only as house battery as they can stand up to more discharge and charge cycles. Less of a benefit for your starting batteries since they are not drained and recharged as often.

Just don't forget about the HUGE Donations that the Walton Foundation make to the PEW Trust. Just feels like giving money to Walmart for fishing stuff is self defeating? I believe there is still a good warranty on the West Marine Batteries?

Id use the same exact ones you have now.
They worked well for you.

All good points and opinions. The ones I currently have are "Lee's Marine" and have served me well since I bought the boat. Then again, they go on the trickle charger all winter off the cement floor and have never been run all the way down.

Think I'm going to use a local merchant and go with the Interstate brand. I'll need 2, so I was thinking of 1 starter battery (800 CCA) and one deep cycle in the 24 size.

Thanks for the feedback!
