| you can go with regular lead acid batteries. AGM are good, but make sure your charger can charge them. I would also make sure you run your accessories on the starter battery. Hooking up your trolling motor and fish finder on the trolling batteries from what i remember isn't the best option. I buy interstate batteries and they have been good to me. In one of my boats i bought the cheap Walmart brand and they are good too. They are made by johnson controls who makes alot of batteries. I have been using them for about 4 yrs now. As long as you don't leave drained batteries sit for long periods and charge them full after use, they will last. If you do your part they will do theirs. A few years ago i bought 2 Trojan batteries at Gander and they were the poorest of them all. Only lasted about 3 years. My walmarts lasted longer.
It really depends on how you use your boat. If you do alot of weekends in which you can't charge your batteries every night after alot of use, then AGM is probably better for you. Again, just make sure your charger can charge AGM.. the MFG will tell you.. Dual pro, Guest, and some minn kota charges will charge them.
