I went this route. they have worked great for starting, I still power my stereo with Optima's. these were very favorable, with the strength of the US dollar. They arrived in one week.
Here is a picture right after mounting. They weighed just over 5 lbs each.

thanks for the input. I was looking to run a single battery that will have enough cranking amps for a 300xs and still power my stereo moderately. The ones I found are really heavy 65-70pds. Hoping for something a little lighter then that. Wondering if anybody had some good experiences.

I believe mercury recommends 1000cca for the opti motor JMO

you are correct, I was also worried about that, but the lithium 850's haven't failed me yet. I have used them for over a year. I set my battery switch up so I can run them in parallel so that essentially doubles the amperage. About half the time I run the switch set to parallel.

To expand on this, would a pair of PC925's be a desirable configuration to support a 300XS and onboard electronics for all day pleasure use (50% running, 50% stopped, etc.) be a good solution?
I'm thinking its a lot of capacity with the security of switching off a low battery for the weight of 1 "normal" battery.

I went with the PC1200 due the fact that I have a stereo as well. The price is reasonable and the billet mount is simple. I do however have a brand new lithium powerpack M3440 (lithiumpros.com) that I will make someone a good deal on- you can check out the specs. It is very light and cranking amps are crazy (group 34) was just bigger then I had room for in the little STV. If nobody wants it then it will end up in the LCB when it gets to the point of rigging.

PC925s will definetly be fine for a day of use like u say....i always wire them up to have one starting and one house battery with an ACR between them to charge....this way if i kill the house i can still start the engine and let it charge everything up....
