RiverQueen

Greetings everyone.
This is my first post here.
I just bought a 40' 1971 steel hulled RiverQueen river boat (most people would call it a house boat) powered by 2x Slant 6 cylinder Chrysler Super Crown 150 engines w Dana out drives.
I am completely gutting the intereior and removing 100% of the electrical system. all wires/ batteries/ fuses etc. and starting fresh.
I am looking for assistance/resources/diagrams with configuring my 2 battery bank electrical system.
I have just completed refitting and cruising two* 44' good old sailboats on a 3,000+ mile cruise starting in Baja down Pacific Mexico+ central America thru the Panama canal west-east and around the Caribean.
So I have down many of the basic concepts, but have never built a whole system from scratch.
*(boat #1 got hit by lightening on a mooring in El Salvador - caught fire, burned to the waterline and sunk...)
Thanks for any assistance.
