and price range that I should expect to get best deal? Lots on line with a wide range of prices - one that I just took off my pontoon lasted 7 years so it must have been a good one.

Haven't found it online yet to check the price or availability. But it might be the best bet.

When I owned a boat and off-road truck, I used Lifeline and Concorde AGM batteries. They're a little pricey, but extremely high quality and will take a charge as fast as your alternator or charger will supply it.
You probably will have to order online from a dealer, but they can be shipped without problems:

Walmart Everstart are good batteries at a good price.
I put 3 lithium trolling batteries on board for my trolling motor, not cheap, hope they last.

Why didn't you go with a single 36v. I have an Impulse lithium 36 Volt 60 AH for my trolling motor (spotlock) with on the run charger and I never lose juice. Have Sportsman 262 Open.

Group 27 or higher deep cycle marine battery

Interstate, Duralast, Duracell, West Marine...
AGM batteries are pricey and not sure you need it for your application.
I like the maintenance lead acid, wet cell personally, but the maintenance free are popular. Check the fluid levels a couple of times during the summer and charge as needed.

if you do not mind paying extra, Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries offer the best performance and lifespan. The extra cost will pay for itself.
