battery 1998 SN 196 GT40

Hello friends,

I need to replace the battery in my SN 196 98 model and I am curious what other members are using in their boats of that era.. I currently have an Interstate Battery in the boat and its about 4yrs old - i am not sure if it is a starting battery, deep cycle, or hybird. It's been a good battery but sometimes has difficulty starting the boat especially if I run the radio with the engine off. I am looking for something that will reliably start the boat and i can run a standard marine head deck and 6x9's (no additional amps or anything like that) without concern. Let me know what you think!!!

Eric,
I highly recommend against getting the highest CCA battery. I went through 2 1000 CCA's in about 3 years before I realized the problem. Support needed for the extra plate surface area is sacrificed and with the pounding our boats give our batteries, the big CCA's bust internally.

Hi , my names not Pete or Peter, but a Group 65 starting battery of your favorite brand not only works good but fits in the battery box too   

My names not Pete, Peter, or Petey but a group 34 fits the battery box perfect as well. With batteries is basically boils down to what name you want in your bilge. I have had good luck lately with Deka.
