Take a look at the Northstar AGM’s as well.

AGM makes your life easier IMO. Plus no more acid burns in your clothes. Just make sure you spec your charger to tje type of battery you are installing.

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.
