What I was getting at was go for the charger and get it with an extra bank if you think you will get another battery in the future. For the small amount more I promise you that u will kick your self if you don't. As for the charger and the starter battery, I fell like that is just as important as your tm battery. You are a musky angler meaning that you are more than likely casting and using electronics, lights , radio ect. Than you start your motor and run across the lake to the next spot. And on and on. Point being you are only charging for a small time during the day and using power a lot. And regardless of your type of fishing maintaining your batteries is crucial. 
   An onboard charger not only chargers but also maintains your batteries. If you simply put a basic charger on your battery it will overcharge and damage the plates in your battery.

You have a nice new boat. And you will literally never have to worry about power if you spend money on a quality on board charger.[/QUOTE]
