Does Odyssey make batteries that will fit in a standard battery hold down?
I need 4 new batteries. Currently have Interstate and they lasted 2 years. They will not support the stereo at high volumes for any longer then 20 minutes.

Folks make Billet hold downs for the Odyssey... try www.odysseybatteries.com...or send EVO22 a PM...

Up here, Walmart just picked the Optima brand. They sell them about 30% cheaper than anywhere else in town.

Wow, I am going to have to check down here in So. Cal. I don't know if they will be able to beat Costco, but it's worth checking.

I have sick ass battery boxes for the standard interstates.. Most of them are out for Polish/powder coating right now.. I'll put some pictures of some raw ones up later today.
I also have some pretty trick battery boxes for Optimas Blue Top, Yellow Top/Red Top etc..
I'm going to start production on the odyssey battery boxes this week. If anyone wants a set for the 1700's or "other" model let me know. I can get them done in about a week, and I'll throw the name of your boat on them for free.
