A 24v hugely extends your running time.
I got by with a 12v on my 850# 2003 Fish Hawk + 300# 4 stroke. If it was windy, I struggled. If I was in heavy weeds it fouled.
The 24v rips through weeds better and easily lasts from dawn to dusk. It may "work" for Paul but a 24v would work waaaaay better.
Paul is likely correct - A 55lb will likely move a 600# boat okay. You could use two batteries for it as well. A 12v is inferior in the ways listed above though and definitely a poor choice for heavier boats than yours.
