It's time to replace the battery in our runabout, before I get to row an 1800 lb boat back to the dock.
Currenlty, it has an Interstate deep cycle. I was thinking about replacing it with an Optima Blue Top, which is about 50% more $$$. Is it worth it? Thanks |

Thanks for the advice. It soulds like I will be picking up the Optima tonight.
One more question - there are two types - Deep Cycle and Starting. The battery will not be used for a trolling motor, just starting and accessories. Which one do I need - Deep Cycle or Starting? Thanks Again! |
