Title: Battery sizes for Aquasport Explorer 250 with twin Evinrudes
Post by: kb2ski on June 26, 2010, 12:21:41 PM: I just bought this boat and it was completely stripped down. Any suggestions on sizes of batteries and a good reliable place to buy them online? Due to the weight, it may be better just to go to the local Batteries Plus. I am building this boat up again.

Second, a thru hull tranducer vs. a transom mount for the Garmin?

Thanks.

I'd say that was a well spent $.02...
