I am leaning towards a new Cougar Advantage, and I would like to run a 36V trolling motor. 4 batteries seems like the way to go, but is it possible? What do most people run? Also, while I am at it, what prop is recommended on this rig with a 250xs? Expected performance?

I run a 27 Fury, and w/ a real 2 person load Im consistently running between 77 and 80 w/ 78 being the norm.You will be fine w/ 3 batteries on a 36 volt system. Ive never had an issue w/ it.

Choice, though if you go 4 batts. then you cover the bilge with the oil tank. Otherwise you can handle four easily. They are right in that if you spend a little more on a better cranking battery, you can be more than fine with three (3) batteries. We actually like 3 batteries, though there is a vary differing opinion.

The important thing is not to skimp on your Cranking Battery. I speak from experience. The Optis need that Juice!!!!
