Any reason not to get a group 31 battery?
After 4 years my group 24 battery has hit the wall, looking to replace before next weekends first outing. Any reason not to go with a group 31?

Will it fit in your battery box?
That would be the only reason I can think of but since you say you can replace the box....
Why not go first class. a pair of GC-2 in series (or a GC-12.. just one of those).
Group 31 is about 130 amp hours and no matter what my opposition says if it is a MARINE/deep cycle I'd not use more than 1/4 of that capacity
GC-2.. Well you can get 210-220-230 amp hour sizes (I have DEKA G-20's just now they are a GC-2 size. 230 amp hour) and use half of it safely.
THey do a better job of recovering from an "OH C***! level discharge as well (mine have once since I bought 'em the original batteries about 4 times.. MARINE/deep cycle once if you are lucky.)
THe GC-`11 is around 150 Amp Hour as I recall but do not quote me on that as .... Frankly I'm not sure... IT's a 12 volt GOLF CAR battery. all the advantages of the GC-2 but smaller capacity and a single battery if you are more comfortable with that. Most Golf Car places will have 'em.
