[QUOTE="Wild and Free, post: 160975, member: 406"] Deep cycle all the way because they have thicker plates and are designed to handle being discharged further and handle faster or higher amperage charge rates without warping the lead plates inside which is what causes most regular batteries to go bad early and they will also handle the rough pounding a bit better as well. I would go with higher reserve capacity battery over higher cranking amperage as well. You would have little use for hgh cranking amperage on anything on a boat, not like trying to start a cold diesel @ 10 below. The higher the cranking amperage a battery has the lower the reserve capacity is so it will not last as long where you want it to on a boat with constant draws on it. I do not buy by brand name i buy based on cost and who offers the longest prorated warranty for replacement. [/QUOTE]
