and the red flags keep coming! sorry to be blunt but i dont' think 11k will cover the costs ofthe items you listed. take the props for instance,...
Still. One start battery for two engines with only one alternator charging the start battery is a lousy setup. If you loose that engine for...

boat size doesn't matter. a properly installed charger will detect the higher voltage produced by the alternators and stop charging. it should...
you should also consider how you will use the boat and where. I'm not familiar with the PNW but i don't' think that winter is that much fun up...
