Default Installing batter based power in an old wooden boat.

I just bought a 1964 16' wooden boat. It currently has no onboard power.
What is the best way to proceed ?
The boat will mostly be used in daytime and on lakes and local waters.
Should I go with a 1 battery system or 2 ?

And then how do I go about grounding it ? Or isn't that am issue ?

I would like some nav lights, interior lights, some 2v outlets and a radio.

I have an older 9.9 outboard motor but probably wont be hooking up electric
start due to the high cost and age and size of the current motor. Maybe I
will when I save up enough $ to get a newer/bigger outboard.

Pics of my boat can be found he

Sorry for the dumb questions.


Thanks in advance
