We do a pretty fair amount of that work. You couldn’t give me an 8 D these days.
The weight of them is not worth the risk of getting hurt while handling them around boat type spaces.
Golf cart batteries belong in golf carts.
Please take a look at AGM types. Two group 31’s or thereabouts, in parallel will start most any six cylinder diesel.
Another pair for house loads will do a good job for most cruising. Charging relays are available now. They bring a new dimension to battery arrangements and life.
Hope this helps a bit.
