Jon Boat battery question
As some of you may remember, I inherited my Grandpa's Jon Boat last year.
I've got major plans to turn a stock 14' Baycraft DJR into a pimped out fishing machine  The boat is rated for 315# occupants, and 460 occupants and gear, so weight is certainly an issue. I've found the troller (endura c2 55) and the fishfinder (humminbird 581 HD di) that I want to install. I've heard plenty of negatives on running the troller and FF off the same battery. I have a small rechargable battery that I used to power the Yak's FF, but I'm leaning towards installing 2 batteries, one for each item, which would allow me to switch to the FF battery, if I drained the troller battery. Weight is certainly a concern, especially when lifting the back of the boat to push it into the truck. Also, if utilizing 2 batteries, is there an economical way to charge both at the same time? Any thoughts? Suggestions?
