Josh,
Shorai makes a nice, lightweight, Lithium-Iron motorcycle battery. http://shoraipower.com/lfx18a1-bs12-p86 It starts my Harley easily and weighs about 2 pounds. It’s also smaller than most motorcycle batteries. That’s a lot of power in a small package.

A combine switch allows for emergency starting with the house batteries. A very small lead acid battery is enough to turn the engine. If you don't have enough room for a U-1 tractor battery then you might find a motorcycle battery that will fit your needs. Even two 6v motorcycle batteries might solve your space problem. There are some great lithium options in motorcycle batteries too. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+
