I like the EverStarts from Walmart, been buying those for nearly 20 years, I can make them last 7 years but usually replace after 5 years when their capacity is starting to get reduced.
27DC for the main battery ($81.67)
a pair of the MAXX-29 DC for the trolling motor ($99.97 x 2)
$298.51 total (incl tax)
For 5 years of use, that's only $59.70 / yr
