Rick — I have a single start battery in a box on the shelf to port of the engine; then two Trojan T105 golf-cart batteries in series in a Blue Sea dual battery box under the forward inboard part of the port quarterberth. If I do a little carpentry, I’ll be able to put one more Blue Sea box with two more T105’s in that same spot, adjacent to and just aft of the first. I also have my Xantrex charger and a small (600W) inverter under that berth.
