Nice boat indeed! Shep is right on. Wire 2-12v batteries together in parallel and you will essentially triple your service hours. I have a 19ft deep-vee with a 125hp and 5 onboard batteries (3 in parallel for trolling motor, 1 for starter and console, 1 for electronics). It's a heavy rig. I only have a 42lb Powerdrive with autopilot. Not my first choice but it's never kept me off the water. I will upgrade to at least a 75 someday but 42 is what came with the boat. I fish on some pretty windy days so I'm sure you'll get along fine the way you're gonna spec out your boat.
Enjoy your toy!
