Musky you should probaly have a dual battery set up on your boat....This way you could use 2 dual purpose batts. that would give you plenty of cold cranking amps as well as the ability to deep cycle if need be....I run 2 group 31's (yes they are huge) on my boat and havent had a problem. You could really get away with 24s easily.
Nice thing is to get yourself a battery switch for when you turn the motor over put it on all, then once you are started assign the charge to the battery you want to charge while running the motor. I have one battery that is charged by the main engine the other gets the juice from my kicker while trolling...
Solar chargers do work though....
