24v would be way underpowered on any 24' bay boat. Go with a 36v with a 60" shaft.

How would you wire up twin trolling motors, could that be done with 3 batteries, or have to carry 6 batteries, then you would have 72 volts correct?

no 6 batteries 3 wired to each motor separately and I would "assume" there is a way for the I-pilots to team up on holding the same course and work as a team

I cant see anything less then a 100+ trolling motor and I would "think" you would need the biggest they make for that boat or you will be at the mercy of tides and winds and not be able to fish and move about as you choose to unless its calm with slack tides
