House battery types

After one of those interesting trips home in a new (to me) AS 350, I discovered that the battery capacity consisted of one side post 100AH cranking battery, and, for the house, one marine cranking series 24 (in a series 27 slot) and one marine RV deep cycle series 24 (again, in a series 27 slot). Aside from the system being woefully inadequate for a 350 with way too many bells and whistles, is there a reason to use a marine CRANKING battery as a house battery (a previous owner's peccadilloe, perhaps)?

Time to look for a solar panel system.....
