Default Jon Boat battery question

As some of you may remember, I inherited my Grandpa's Jon Boat last year.

I've got major plans to turn a stock 14' Baycraft DJR into a pimped out fishing machine

The boat is rated for 315# occupants, and 460 occupants and gear, so weight is certainly an issue.

I've found the troller (endura c2 55) and the fishfinder (humminbird 581 HD di) that I want to install.

I've heard plenty of negatives on running the troller and FF off the same battery.
I have a small rechargable battery that I used to power the Yak's FF, but I'm leaning towards installing 2 batteries, one for each item, which would allow me to switch to the FF battery, if I drained the troller battery.

Weight is certainly a concern, especially when lifting the back of the boat to push it into the truck.

Also, if utilizing 2 batteries, is there an economical way to charge both at the same time?

Any thoughts? Suggestions?
