Is there still a big difference between 12v motors and 24v motors these
days
If a 12v motor has 50# thrust And a 24v motor has 50# thrust How are
they different ?

There's a world of difference between the two. While they both have 50
pounds of thrust, you'll find that a 24 volt system is more efficient and
will last you far longer on the water.

I realize that improvements have been made in trolling motor technology, but
when I had a 12 volt system in my boat, the battery was done long before I
was in a day of fishing.

If you have the room for the extra battery, get the 24 volt system, you'll
appreciate it on a windy day or in heavy current.
