Ultimate Utah fishing boat.

[MrShane]

Not wishing to start a whizzing contest, but my critical thinking skills tell me to distrust a person who knows all and disparages any other opinion.

Amen

As for charging batteries, buy the charger that has a bank for every battery in your boat, including your starter battery.
A fishing boat is going to have up to three positioning motor batteries and at least one starter battery.
So, if the boat you buy has a 24 volt electric positioning motor and one battery for the big engine, buy a three bank charger.
And for pure convenience, install the charger up in front of your boat and add a charging plug port in the extreme front portion of your bow.
I beach camp out of my boat on Powell and I don’t even get my feet wet to plug in my charger to my generator at night.
Even if you just charge in your garage or at a hotel, having the charging port up front is easy, as you only have to undo a snap or two to plug in. You can do all this while not having to enter the boat (will add pics later so check back in tonight).
P.S. The best fishing boats ever are ones that are paid off.

While MrShane and I agree on almost everything, I will just say that in almost 20 years of big boat ownership, I have never had an on-board charger hooked to anything but my electric trolling motor's battery bank and I have never had a cranking battery discharge to the point that it wouldn't start my outboards.  And I run live well pumps, sonar, and boat radio all the time I'm trolling.  The outboard charging system keeps the crank battery charged well enough in my experience and I get 6 to 7 years use out of my crank batteries.  There's nothing wrong with hooking a crank battery to your on-board charger unit, but I believe it would be redundant.

I’m a big fan of welded boats over riveted.

Amen to that!  

Bob, 
I’m just glad that you agree I am one of the better-looking fisherman out on the water!
