If its just for starting only then a standard group 24 is fine. If you use some electronics while sitting then a duel purpose group 24 is better if you use a lot of electronics while sitting then a group 27 duel purpose or bigger depending on what your using.

When it comes to boat, you can't have too big of a battery. Sooner or later your going to wish you had more. Get the biggest battery that will fit on the boat.
