What would be a good jump starter to keep in my truck, that I could also throw in my boat when I launch it. I want to get a decent one, curious if anybody here has any recommendations? TIA

I got a Top Vision G26 jump starter on Amazon for about 80 bucks. Love it!
I got a NOCO GB40 for Christmas. I have yet to use it but let someone at the boat ramp borrow it to jump a 90 Mercury. It slung that motor over just like it was hooked to a group 31 AGM. I have yet to use it on a big boat motor or vehicle but I feel confident it will work. The NOCO GB 70 is the next size bigger but 200 bones. You can get the 40 for just under 100 and often Amazon runs them on sale for 75.
I second the NOCO GB40 or GB70. I have the 40 and it has started multiple vehicles up to a V-8 truck. Haven't needed to try it on the boat yet, but I think it will easily get the job done.

These things are very heat sensitive. My first one swelled up like a toad while inside my truck. I checked several and found that the NOCO is not very heat sensitive. Many state do not store over 120 degrees F. In Texas a truck cab will get that hot even in the winter.

I've seen the weego turn over a completely dead battery and crank a 250HP Merc ProXS. Thats what I have and recommend.

I have the NOCO GB40 it has started several cars.

I've used my Noco GB40 to start 2 cars that had completely dead batteries and did them one right after the other. And when I say completely dead, I'm talking .8 volts on one and 1.4 on the other. I've also used it to start my 200 HPDI a couple of times, and helped a guy out on the lake one day with a 350 Pro XS. It's probably all you need.
I got the NOCO GB40 and it saved my tournament day on Smith Lake. Used it for the last 2 hours of tourney to run livewell pumps and start my 225 Yamaha. I bought the adaptor so I can leave the plug on the battery. Have not needed it since I put the plug on battery.
I have the Audew Epower - 172. Haven't had to use it yet, but it will recharge my phone, Ipilot remote, and my headlamp if needed.
GB 40 for me. So far so good.

I have the Noco GB70 and it works great. If you shop around you can get it for a decent price.
I have a NOCO GB70 and it has never let me down. If it were to disappear I would purchase another just like it.

I bought this one on Amazon 3 years ago on Black Friday. I used it on a coworkers car that was dead and it worked great. I know the Noco's are great but i didn't want to spend that much!

I have a NOCO40 and NOCO70. Got them on sale on Amazon a few months ago. Haven't had to use them yet but the peace of mind is nice. I keep one in my truck and the other in the boat.
I have the Weego 66, used it on a 6.7 Cummins and worked good. Haven't had to use it on the 4s ProXS yet.
