What 6 volt motors would you suggest if i change from 12 volt 600 direct drive motors.

We would like to help, but need to know what the question means :}
Motors don't really have voltages at all, even if it is written on the box. Not sure if I remember a 12V S600 either
So - you are using a 600 on 12V, and want to go to 6V.
Wonder why - do you want longer duration? If so just do it. The motor will run slower, take much less currrent. Job done
Try it in the Domestic flotation tank :}
We could be much more helpful if we knew some or more of:
Type of boat/size/weight
Prop size
battery (I'm guessing a 12V sealed lead acid brick)
type of motor - colour, picture where did it come from?
ESC type
and the all important - what do you want the boat to do?

Get the same motor with 6 volts on the label instead of 12 volts. Same performance at the cost of twice the current draw. Or, like andrewh says, just run it on 6 volts and accept the reduced performance.
