I would go with the 24 all the way. You are going to long line that is a lot of trolling mtr. time and you don't want to run out or not have enough power to achieve the speed you want.
looking to get a new Terrova I-pilot. What would be better 12 or 24v? I'll either be long lining or spider rigging 80% of the time in an 1760 aluminium boat.

24v would pull harder and last longer than 12v. Does cost more and you'll need 2 12v batteries(more $$$$ and weight). But if your boat can handle it, I'd get 24v.
24v for sure!
24 is definitely better.
24v. Add two new batteries up front for weight. I have a bass tracker and the weight up front made it fish 100 percent better
12 is plenty but 24 is better. You can also run a 12V motor with two 12V batteries wired in parallel.
I run a 12 volt I pilot with to batteries in parallel and can pull crank baits all day and still have plenty of battery.
Joey, how do you wire them up? I also have a 12 volt I pilot. Plenty of power, but one battery often does not last all day so I carry a spare and swap them out. Would be nice it I could just leave it hooked up.
I have had both, 24 volt much better performance.
