I run Duralast marine batteries on all of my vehicles and farm equipment. End of worries for you son. I love how they have the stainless stud next to the reg post for attaching amp wire or accesories on my tractors. If 1 of the medium size will crank any car/truck I have, you are fine. And I have the marine in size 27 or 29, I forgot, but it cranks my JD 4230 every time, first time. The marine Duralast are maybe the best batteries on the market, as they ARE NOT made with the regular duralast JUNK.

Okay cool, I figured 1000 MCA would be sufficient to start most vehicles, but wasn't really sure how well they would charge off the alternator and what not being a Deep Cycle/Starting Marine battery. I think with your experience being so solid I may just go ahead and put these in both trucks.

Okay turd, that wasn't the point. These vehicles aren't running big systems, but both are due for a new battery and I was looking into a solid, inexpensive solution. $400 worth of batteries for each vehicle kind of defeats the whole purpose

I know an AGM battery would be the best solution, but right now i need an adequate solution that won't cost me a ton. In college and money is tight

Yes, it will work. Boat engines are nearly identical to car engines except for the cooling system.

It should work fine.
