Adding an Inverter

OK, I have 4 6V batteries split two for the port and two for the starboard engine with an isolator switch for banks 1, 2 and all. 

My bilge pumps are wired to the starboard engine bank.... I'm thinking about switching that to parallel over both banks. 

I want to add a 2000W inverter with a built in charger and am wondering if I should just use the 4 batteries that I already have or should I install a larger battery as a base to run the inverter off of or what? 

Even though I want to have a charger, she won't be plugged in to shore power all of the time. 

I'm just kind of thinking out loud but am looking for ideas before I come up with a final plan.


Please leave comments to help me flesh out a good plan.
