I agree on a MAXIMIZER motor. It is more money but so worth it. Many more hours on the water and more variable speeds.
As for batteries, I buy Walmart Deep Cycle 29 and a battery box. Top that of with a $34. Battery Tender which you will put on the battery anytime you are not using it. It is not a trickle charger, this will charge the battery and shut off when full.
I use one on my motorcycle and it increases the life of a battery big time.
Weight of the battery is not that big of difference for the Wally or the AGM.
For your boat I would look at 40lb and larger. 30 would move you but it won't last.
