Re: Maxxum vs. Fortrex
If you can afford it, I would just get the Fortrex. I have had both. The Fortrex is much easier to lift and far more stable when stowed. The locking mechanism of the Fortrex is very secure and does very well in rough water.

Re: Onboard Battery Chargers?
I would consider the Stealth Charger. You can get the AC and DC unit and it weighs about 1/3 of the other chargers out there. Smaller too.
The DC unit charges your trolling motor batteries when you run your big motor. The AC unit charges all your batteries when you plug it in.
