Sounds like a good deal, I switched to golf cart batteries and have been very happy with them. I bought trojan batteries for about 175 each in little rock. You may want to get dimensions on them first to be sure they will fit were you're putting them. Mine are in a Stratos boat and because they are taller, they just BARELY fit. It was a major ordeal to get them in but I'm happy with them.

How many hours does it take to charge the golf cart battery compare to the 29 or 31,how many amps is the charger,if you fish two days back to back?can they be charge back up to 100% overnight.

Just bought 3 group 31 deep cycle batteries at Oreillys for 95 bucks each. Dont know anything about them, just gonna try them for that price.

It would depend on how many percent you discharged the battery and on how many amps your charger puts out that you re-charge it with.

Interesting!!! Good thread! thanks!

Sure, but it only takes you a half hour or so to get number 30.

Not Thursday, took 8 hours but I was determined and pulled it off.

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Golf cart batteries???? This is getting serious! Lol! I was able to take a picture of the batteries I'm using. By looking at the parts number they show to be group 31 batteries, but they only last 3 and a half hours. Are these weaker batteries or should I check my water level?
