Can't beat an Optima. Rumors say that the new ones aren't as good as the old ones ever were and a lot of people are getting Deka batteries now - another good deep cycle.

Thanks for all the input. I ended up buying the old faithful Interstate. This project has been more costly than expected. I liked the optimal, but the price was double what I paid. Thanks again.
