Question: WHats the difference between them all. WHat should I get?

For which part of the boat? The main boat/starter battery?
Or the stereo/isolated batteries?
Red tops are great batteries. In my book, 10 times better than any wet battery. They are technically not a "dry cell" battery, but just as good since you can mount them upside down if you like.
Reds are great for stereo too, but are not designed as Deep Cycles. Yellow/Blue Top DCs recover much faster and can be drained and recharged for many more cycles than regular.
