Send me a PM on the details...I am always up for a deal...I currently get them from West Coast batteries...or Odysseybatteries.com
So I am pretty sure I am paying retail or pretty close for them...they also have Billet Hold Downs but are pretty basic, so if you have something better, I am interested? Also, can you engrave a Malibu logo in the hold down? I need two 1700's and a 1200..and Billet Boxes if you have them...

Not at all. Like I said before I had 4 6v Trojans in my old boat and loved the play time I got out of it. The only draw back for me was the charging overnight. There is no way a altenator is charging 4 6v's so I didn't even hook it up to Alt.
I know Froggy has 6v battery boxes for the Trojans.

HH, don't beat me up.
I put 6-6V Trojans in my boat. My system draws between 155-160 amps at full volume (about 7000 watts with JBL amps). Since the install in March, the longest I have played it at full volume is about 4.5 hours. No issues with loss of power at all. If and when they fail, I'll let everyone know. So far I am happy with them. Only one drawback so far is that they are heavy as hell. I also installed a 30amp/3 bank onboard charger and it is always hooked up when in the garage.
When I made the decision to try these out, I went to the Industrial battery warehouse and talked to the GM for about 1.5 hours about batteries. He also suggested the 6V batteries wired to 12V over anything else he had there, and that included Odyssey. I was told that there was nothing in that warehouse (about 14,000 sq.ft) that would work better for my application.
As of now I am a believer, but we'll see how next year goes as well. I don't know all the technical stuff, but for $350 total, I figured it was worth a shot. I can always replace with something else if they piss me off.
Now be gentle......

Don't worry Ol HH bark is worst than his bite. He has nothing to back up is therory and a bunch mumbo jumbo diagram crap. We actually have hands on testing and they work great....
