Deboat-Like I posted, If it was just this boat then I would say ok, but every boat Ive ever owned has been like that....we'll try these Delco Freedoms....cant be much worse.

I`m thinking of adding a 2nd battery with perko switch..If u mount switch under engine hatch, how do get hatch down after u turn it off? Wire Hatch direct? or mount switch on outside of hatch which makes for some long cables...

I vote for the Optima batteries as well, they are by far the best. There are no plates to shake apart.
