I've been going around and around with a battery decision. I'm thinking (4) Trojan T1275 at around $900.00 or (4) Odessey Pc2150 around $1200. Trojans are wet lead acid 150amps@20hr and the Odessey is AGM 100 amps@20hr.
Any thoughts?

On the bench in the garage is a Mars BLDC motor mounted on a 2:1 gear reducer with a Kelly controller. I have had a chance to try both the Kelly controller and a Sevcon gen4 on the bench and both work equally well unloaded. I still need to choose batteries and manufacture mounts for motor and batteries. I don't expect to be operational for at least a month so in the meantime if the wind is favorable a trolling motor will help me out the slip.
