Dave,
Before the depression I made a living working on other people's boats.
I can tell you two things for a fact:
1 - Paralleling lead/acid batteries is not the best idea.
2 - Real 12V deep cycle batteries are hard to find and expensive.
All golf cart batteries are real deep cycle. That is the only way that they are made.
It looks like you have most of it figured out. No matter what you do with batteries in parallel, when the mode suits you, break up the bank and charge each set to full density. If you don't, one part of the bank will always be at less than full.
