    Chaparral 187

    I have been given an 1981 Chaparrel for a summer project for me and my two sons. It's in decent shape but just needs a battery. What size and type battery should I get for this size boat. I know I need a marine battery but not sure of the amps. It has a 3.8 ltr motor and an 800 OMC outdrive. Thanks
