Surfgod.......I quite agree. To each their own for use. I personally am a proponent for two batteries but, a single battery set up correctly installed does just fine. I do have some feedback on welding cable. I am in saltwater use and originally used some heavy, well insulated welding wire for my forward battery installation. Heat shrink wrapped the ends. Only used that way for a couple of seasons before I took my Revenge out of the water for a major retrofit (still dry). Patina had managed its way down into the wire a ways. I have a local marine wiring shop and asked about the issue.......it was going to continue into the wire slowly restricting the charge through the cable. I swapped it out for tinned wired and now have a kick butt set of jumper cables.
