Default Solar charging battery?

By next Summer, my boat will be housed at a marina that does not have any
electricity access at all. Has anyone had any success charging with solar
panels ( for a reasonable cost)? Obviously, I'd like to not have to haul the
battery(s) home to put on a regular charger.

The boat will be exposed to sunlight 7 days a week. I intend to fish out of
her two or three days each week, for periods of only 2 to 3 hours each. I
use the trolling motor sparingly. I cannot run the "big" ( 40 hp ) motor
at high speed at all, as the lake is no-wake from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m.
which are the hours that I normally fish. I won't be on the lake when one
could run at high speed. Any and all ideas appreciated.

Thanks RichG TX/IL
