OK, OK, ya'll stand back and let an expert set the record straight.

They're fine, but better can be had. Water em, charge 'em with a good charger as soon as you get home and don't let them sit partially uncharged and you'll get years out of 'em.

My unscientific findings are that real world, all else being equal, an equal sized Wally speshul compared to a Trojan will not last quite as long on an outing (say 30 minutes) of trolling cranks, but the difference will be seen in how long the batteries will stand up year over year. Now, calculate how much that extra 30 minutes or say 1 to 2 years is worth to you and do your own math. I'm an everything else expert, not a mathmetician for Pete's sake.
