don't get me wrong, if I had a choice for a bigger 12v motor I would do it (who wouldn't like to have more power) but they don't make any bigger motors in 12v so I use the biggest 12v they make.
I agree with you guys that there aren't that many situations or many boats where a 12v system has the power to do the job in salt water situations, but the OP boat is one of those situations were a 12v TM will serve all his needs and not feel underpowered in any way.
I use a 12v trolling motor with almost the exact identical boat he has and I never feel underpowered in any way.
I regularly use the very system you guys are saying isn't enough to do the job so that's why I so strongly disagree with such a notion that it wont do the job well since it HAS been doing it well for me for years now.
im trying to give him advice about HIS boat and not whats best for the average guy out there using a much heavier boat then his. if anyone else were out there asking about anything other then a lightweight flatboat I would say they NEED a 24v system for it.
if he wants to use the 12v system it will do the job very well (for his boat) and it is a good option should he choose to do that and you guys made it clear that the 24v system is what most people go with.
all this is moot anyways since im sure the OP has already made up his mind on what he wants by now
