Another Vote for Deka AGM (Actually mine are West Marine SeaMate) or something like that. I was told by a friend that works for Deka that they were made for West Marine by Deka. She also told me that Deka gives West Marine a good deal because the owners of Deka love boating, etc and are tight with the West Marine guy's..

I bought mine in 2007, but really started using them in 2008 (Group 31 AGM). I can start my Diesel with either battery and they are still going strong. I am not looking forward to replacing them, I paid 150.00 each with my Port Supply card in 2007, now they are close to double that now. I do recommend a good on board charger that is Made for AGM, I think that is the main reason the batteries have lasted this long. Mine is a ProMariner Pro Sport. The first one lasted just over a year, then I sent it in and they replaced it with a newer, improved model at a small up charge. This one is going on 4 years. I plug it in the night before a trip.
