[Electric Boats] Feasible to change to 6v golf cart batteries?

 

I recently bought a 2002 Canadian electric boat Fantail Launch.  It has 36v system, with two groups of three 12v batteries in series, then the two groups linked in parallel.  There are two ProTournament series 3-step marine battery chargers, each dedicated to one of the 3-battery groups.

I fear the current six 12 v Interstate batteries are approaching end of life, and I'm interested in changing over to the 6v golf cart batteries with the higher amp hours capacity.

I need a 36 volt system for the current motor.  So, would I be linking 12 of the 6v batteries: two series of 6 in parallel?  Would I need two more charges to charge the added 6 batteries?

Thanks, and Regards.
M Kirkwood
