RE: New Battery Update April 19th 2018
a $1000 would be about 11 batteries equaling 1100 ah which would be more than enough to power a small house and certainly a boat. .

I'm building a 'battery trough" on top of the keel and under the floor. The boat had twin Volvo Pentas so I expect it can handle the weight.
be sure to vent the batteries to let the gases escape and not blow you up...
that would be a bad day.
I was considering sealed batteries for that very reason.
or perhaps (gasp) lithium ion.
the only batteries i know of that dont gas (even sealed ones) are the AGM batteries and they run around $350 for a 100ah battery. my new ones here are sealed and have a gassing warning. lithium batteries have to be charged just right or BOOOM...
well fooey.
back to the drawing board.
I suppose I'll have to put the batteries where the engines were...(I can do that)...it has a vent (and had blowers) to the outside)
I guess I'll use the keel trough for non flammable storage...or maybe just leave it open as a companionway.
you can hide your sex slaves down there...
it's only 2 ft deep by 2ft wide by 15 ft long... midgets perhaps?
or inflatable?

sounds good to me... you could always lay them down and get two in there head to toe... with room to spare.
