You are definately correct in your statement. After I posted my comment I thought it might be taken the wrong way. A Marine Cranking battery can be used as the cranking battery for the engine starter but you are better off going with a high CCA rated auto battery for that purpose. Use true deep cycle batteries in grp 27 around 105-115 amp hour rating for the house batteries.
