I've used Optimas for 20 years. All of my vehicles have them too. As does my boat. I've tried red, yellow, and blue. In my opinion, the blue is no better for this type of application than the reds. I'd get the smallest two reds that will provide the voltage and see how you like them.

Please comment on having 2 smaller marine batteries as opposed to 1 larger battery. Also, I am seeing references to Group 34 batteries and Group 27 batteries. What does "Group" mean? Also, I would appreciate comments about the Optima blue top line of batteries. I am not going to be sailing the boat but rather puttering around on the small lakes here in central Colorado. Most of the lakes here are reservoirs for all kinds of uses, including drinking water, so most prohibit gasoline outboard motors. Thanks, Dell
