This may give Emerald Coast a run. Looks like the Tickfaw Krewe will do this one instead this year.

Whats your opinion on the Optima,is it worth getting and then getting a new charger? Or should I just go with the interstate? One of my batts took a good beating at tickfaw and I dislodged some plates so it shorted out on me.

Ok first of all Buy a bigger boat. That will prevent the dislodging of you platelets.

Second. I have had more than 1 of those frigging gel batteries and they are not worth a penny more than a 79.99 wal mart marine battery. As a matter of fact one of those POS wal mart batteries has been from my first scarab, to the Magnum, to the cat, back to the Magnum, and never had a charger pu on it except when I stored it in the scarab in the water over night just to make sure. Now it is sitting at the fiberglass shop because he "ACCIDENTALY" took it out of the boat while they were working on it.

Or Interstate. There was one of those in the cat when I got it and it held up pretty well also.
