Just getting bits for my new build a mmm eldergarth not sure 12v or 24v motors what are the thoughts of the members ?
Model will not be used for towing what is the difference in amps load

[radiojoe]

Personally I'd go with the 12 volt, ample power for even a large scale boat and a wider chose of ESC's.

If you search on Eldergrath in the search box, you will find plenty of good reading


Pretty sure there are a few models with twin T12's & is swinging 70 diameter props without issue

I love, and worship!, the T12. A few years ago when I was more able to handle slightly larger boats I built three large tugs with a single T12 and they performed admirably. As Joe says ESC's are a consideration, as too are batteries. I ran mine off of a 12v 7 A/Hr Lead Acid Cell and had no problem in running for an hour or more. Weight distribution with 2 x 12V batteries may be a bit awkward. Can't find any details on 24v Batteries but they will probablybe quite heavy.
