If the house battery is not a deep discharge type, it should work fine for the engine battery. Two 6volt golf cart batteries will give you better life for the house circuits. If you still have the original charger (buzz box), I'd also recommend changing that out to a modern charger/converter like the Progressive Dynamics one.
Five years is about it for a lot of batteries, so I would strongly suggest changing it out.
Also, the alternator should usually be charging over 13 volts while driving (at least originally if the battery was run down). You might want to check that as well.
