You're right Vet about the question.

24v using 2 x 12v batteries will mean extra storage space and extra weight.

Might be of value to consider any advantages that might be on offer for a single deep cycle 24v battery.

If going 24v then the only other bit of advice that I can give is to be careful of the usual claims that " marine batteries are deep cycle batteries".

They're not. They're a compromise between cranking and deep cycle. Sometimes referred to as hybrid.

I'm with Vet, go an 80lb model if the budget allows.

Cheers,
