You can ALSO just get marine dual purpose batts

Robust enough for starting and still more tolerant to deep discharge than a standard starting batt.

Look at what you are cranking... Do you NEED 1000 cold cranking amps to start a 25, 50, 100, or whatever hp outboard in say 60-90* or whatever temps you boat in.

For reference my 4.0L jeep takes a little over 400 amps to start at 80 degrees and my dually w a 7.3 Powerstroke diesel takes @750 amps at the same temp.
