1988 300 sundancer

I would prefer at least one battery per engine. If one wont start hopefully the other one will. Add to that a crossover system and you can start /charge both batteries from one side or the other.
 
I had 2 golf cart batteries and 1 starting battery. The starting battery was dedicated to my generator. This worked great for anchoring out. I could get 18 hrs out of the house batteries before they needed to be charged. Start the genny and a few hours later we were good for another 18 hours. The longest we anchored out was 49 days went to the marina day 25 for a pump out then back to an other spot.
If you don't have a generator make sure you have two deep cycle starting batteries, don't scrimp on the quality good batteries are a must for even a day at anchor with the radio and fridge going.
 
3 batts would be best. One per motor and one house, all switched to each other. I have a single motor with 3 deep cycle batts, and switch between them all the time.

Just curious to the nature of your question...… My previous boat, 1988 300 Weekender the standard layout was 3 batteries.
 
That’s what it has but thinking about adding a 4 th but didn’t think I needed two for the engines
