Dvuyxx—
I'd highly recommend you read the primer I wrote about solar power on boats on my
blog.
I'd point out that if you're going to be depleting the batteries significantly, as you would with an inverter, you really need more than a trickle charger.
As for adding a second battery to the house side... I would recommend buying TWO NEW batteries. Adding a new one to an old one is likely to drastically shorten the life of the new one.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
