Jim,
FWIW I looked at going to T105s but couldn't get comfortable with the
height- especially after I figured in a battery box. Probably just a lack
of courage on my part. A cardboard mockup is a good idea as the battery
compartment (under the front end of the quarterberth) gets a little
shallower as you go aft. I'll be as curious as you to hear if anyone has
converted. My current set up is a grp 24 start battery in a battery box that
tucks aft. I then have 2- Trojan SCS225 grp 31's as a house bank. These are
an inch lower than the T105s. They rate 130 amp hrs at 20 hrs. So a little
more kick than the usual suspects. They are 3.5 years old and fine (in FL,
in nasty heat, in the water year round). They are each in plastic boxes
strapped down toward the front of the compartment. There is still enough
room to just squeeze in one of those little portable jumper batteries JIC.
(I use it on the foredeck to attach to a blower to fill the inflatable as I
don't like to tow it if I can avoid it. So you can certainly pick up some
amp hrs by moving to grp 31s for your house bank (don't think 3x grp31's
will fit)

After 6 years, my last set of batteries is looking close to the end. I would
like to replace the 3 group 27's I have now with 4 T-105 batteries, but I
don't know if I have the space. I'm going out to measure the spaces and
trial fit a cardboard mockup, but maybe I can save some time by asking
here...just maybe someone has done it already.
Between the forward compartment and the aft compartment under the q-berth,
is there room to mount 4 T-105's? I also have a group 24 starting battery,
but I can stash that almost anywhere.
