I am out of the loop on battery quality as far as boats go..
I am looking for:
1 Deep Cycle - Trolling Motor
1 Canking Battery - 15hp engine, FF, Nav Lights
Any suggestions?

I have 3 on my boat. I use Interstate and Wal Mart ones. Don't really notice any difference.

Everstart Maxx for the trollmotor.
Everstart for starting.

Everstart branded batteries sold at Wal-Mart are manufactured by Johnson controls, This is the same company who manufactures batteries for just about all of the "big box" stores as well as most of the discount auto parts stores. Johnson Controls also makes batteries for Interstate battery company, Ford, GM & Chrysler. These batteries are simply re-branded for different retailers. Just because you buy this battery from Wal-mart for $30 less then Interstate does not make it any less of a battery.

Does the 15hp have the pull start, if it does you could get away with one 29 group battery and run cable to front for trolling motor.

most regular batteries come from just a few plants, as noted with the example below. So buy based upon the warranty and store locations.
If you want to step up to an expensive battery, the sears diehard platinum is the best buy on the market. The are rebranded Odyssey batteries(probably one of the best) with one of the best warranties you will find on a battery. I think its at 8 years now, with a large portion of that being replacement, not pro rating(which you need to look at when comparing warranties)
stay away from optima

No matter what battery you get invest in a quality on board charger like ProMariner. It will be the best investment in your life, boat will crank and troll motor will work when needed.
