As long as you buy mainline branded and do the research - but ebay sellers can be worse than folks like tayna with freight. As to the Ah, all depends on the draw of your troller and cooler, and how long you're planning to be out. Ampwise, coolers and fridges are pretty similar, just the cost is a lot more for the fridge, however, the fridge tends to keep things a lot cooler. 130Ah wet will weigh you down by better than 20kg, and that's just the battery without the box etc. One thing I would also do, is consider a manual split charger with an anderson plug into your tub to charge as you drive to the slip. I'd throw an idea of a solar blanket too, but this IS the UK.
Anything is possible, all you need is imagination or own a bank!

Halfords do some good leisure batteries and if you know anyone with a trade card you can get a good discount

try euro car parts and order online (click and collect) using their discount code (top of the home page). Should get a least a 1/3 off and they have a network over the country https://www.eurocarparts.com/stockton.html
Leisure batteries are expensive compared to normal car batteries. Provided you DON'T run them right down then an ordinary better would be a cheaper option. Keep it topped up and it will last as long as the leisure..
ps I have a trade account with ECP and often the online discount code gives a cheaper price!
