I have no idea where a dealer in that area is, but based on my 30 years of experience, I always go with the Interstate brand. I've had Nautilus, Stowaway, and others just to be disappointed in their lifespan. I just replaced a <2 year old dealer battery with an Interstate 27 for $87, buying it from a distributor. My 2 cents! 
Fishing is a jerk at one end of the line, waiting on a jerk at the other end...and I'm proud to be one of 'em.

Whatever you buy...just make sure to charge it as soon as you get home from EACH fishing trip. This WILL add to it's life. I get 3-4 years on trolling batteries now...since I learned that little secret. Never go more than 45 days w/o a charge, either.
Now, Donald...please pick John Bolton for your running mate.

I second the Optima/Orbital gel. Interstate does not manufacture batteries, they are a marketing agency only. Albeit a very successful one, buy from a company who knows their product and has control over the manufacturing and quality of an American made product. Only my .02

I have had 2-Interstate batteries running my 24v MotorGuide 82lb thrust troller for 5 years now. Just keep the water level up and put hard charges on them after using them. They will last for many years if taken care of... -DELRUS-
