I googled AGM batteries and found a battery that has a similar 280/825 rating, but weighs 100 lbs and is over double the cost of the typical BJs deepcycle. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Try batterymart.com. Free shipping takes two days. Again, size it to the lake you fish and your boat. Figure every AH weighs about .7 pounds and decide how much fun you want to have carrying it. Look for sealed lead acid. If they're under 100 AH they're AGMs.
