Location: 31 | I had a similar situation back in the 80s when I pitched a tent on LOTW for 3-4 days at a time, keeping batts charged was one of the bigger issues when I first started until I rigged my boat with a Johnson 12/24V TM with 2 sets of batts, separate wiring for each set, and a gauge so I could monitor them like you're talking about (Nothing like Stealth was available then).
Most of the time we would only need to run on the 12V, and when it got tired I would move the motor wires over to it, and then just plug in some fresh batts up front. With that set up I didn't need to lug around a bulky generator to extend my time away from the AC, and it was real nice to have the redundancy of two complete battery set ups just in case.
You could obviously switch them like you say, or if you have good access to your batts, you could even switch the batteries themselves too. But a true 24V is different than the 12/24V I was using, so I'm not sure if that might adversely affect the batts performance.
It still sounds like the stealth would be your best and easiest option though. If you decide to go with switching, be sure too keep extra wing nuts handy. 
Best way to order is to just call the 800 number with your CC handy.
