I just bought the biggest Interstate makes, i think it is a 31. It has done me real good. I switched to Interstate with my trolling motor batteries last year and have never run out of juice. Chad the largest Cranking Deep Cycle Interstate makes is a 27 w/600 CCA and their largest TM is a 29 deep cycle w/675 CCA. Debra  I have an Interstate 27M-XHD in my boat which is 800CCA and 1000MCA

Hi Chris, I run the Sears Diehard Platinum 31 Gel,w/CCA of 1150 with all my equipment I feel confident in it holding out all day for me, but at $300. it might be out of your price range. Debra Note this battery is not a GEL battery and so it does not require a gel charger. It is an Absorbed Glass Mat (electrolyte is liquid but sealed) and requires an AGM compatible charger to reach its' 100% capacity. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02850131000P?prdNo=2&blockNo=2&blockType=G2

I bought one recently at Metroplex Battery called a Powertron. It's a killer, and I've used 'em all.
In Houston, check with Texford Battery. I think they are the distributor there.

Got two sears 31's for my trollers. 3+ years and no problem. They are legit. My cranking battery is on its last leg and I want one of the Sears, but my checkbook says no....

I'm needing a crank soon too. And considering that sears or maybe a deka. Question on the charging of the sears though. Is the minn kota on-board chargers compatiable with those?

Interstate does make a 31 series battery, I just picked one up from my father in law at the RV dealership he works at.
I am going to buy one just to find out for myself. Half y'all lie like hell and the other half are full of chit.  , A great locally owned business www.bcfw.org Bass Club of Fort Worth

Had Interstates for cranking and trolling. Trolling batteies were ok but felt like they could have been better.
Had a interstate cranking and could not run both graphs and pumps all day because then I would not be able to crank up.
I recently switched to Autozone trolling batteries and love em.
Then I bought the Sears PM-1- best battery on the market in my mind. I run everyting all day and this bad boy does handles it well. If you can swing it buy the Sears battery, you will not be disappointed

The sears platinum AGM 34 is what I run after having cranking battery trouble, it has been great... Of course the monster is the 31 series as Debra stated... I run 3 graphs and the 34 AGM is mercury approved as well as the 31... Space was an issue for me so the 34 fit the bill.. I believe it is 249.00
