I'd say if you have the room and can handle the weight, add the batteries and run them in parallel. Same Juice, but more running time. In my humble opinion, charging on the go is not going to be a real "bang for the buck" so to speak since deep cycle batteries are not meant for a fast recharge, and the little bit of charging from your alternator is not very much. The only benefit is if you make long runs constantly, but then if you are doing that, you are spending more time running and less time fishing...
Now...add the extra batteries and you have the power you need on those long days. Plus when charging back at camp, the time to charge the batteries will be overnight at most and you are good to go for another long day.
