jorbil2or,
Going to golf cart jars may not be a good solution. For the same load "real" usable capacity may be a lot less than what an L-16 will handle, particularly if a large capacity inverter is being used.
The OP needs to do an energy audit to determine what battery size will meet his needs. And he also needs to try to salvage his quite wonderful L-16 jars before he throws money at a solution.

Was hoping to maybe find an in between AGM 6v battery and work with that.you mentioned 230 a/h..that sound like a good alternative. Just have to measure to see about doing 4. Where would I find These?

Lower cost usually gets you into wet batteries, which require watering.
Or for $50 you could get THIS.
Squeeze bulb sold separately. How stupid is that?

BTW, the compartment the batteries are in is not ventilated other than gasket leaks around the door
