I don't see any big problem with what you are doing and especially so if
both batteries are deep cycle...I have done something similar for about 8

When I bought my first “real” boat (the CC 25 that I still own) and was
chartering in Chesapeake Bay in the early 90s, the practice you follow was the
normal and preferred method of maintaining your batteries. On odd number days

An A4 or a small diesel are pretty easy to start. I’d guess the A4 needs 200
amps or less.

It really depends on what batteries you have. The good news is that usually our engines are small and don't require a lot of starting current.
Theoretically, the starting batteries have thinner plates, are able to provide high current (cranking amps) and expect to be used only for a short period
There is a lot of different opinions on batteries and how you configure them.
I yhink if the system you've chosen works for you, why not use it. There
