Do this sound like a reasonable approach?

Doable? Yes.

Should you do it this way?

No.

Guaranteed that you will find a way to drain the batteries more
than once.

Spend the money now and get a little 1500 watt Honda generator
or equivalent - I carry one on my offshore center console just to
run the radios and electronics while drifting.

Makes more sense than constantly charging and discharging the
batteries.

Just my opinion.

Later,
