The torque of a trolling motor is measured with fully charged batteries. As the batteries drain the torque will go down on either model motor. The 24 or even 36v models come in bigger torque models than the 12v does so it is hard to compare apples to apples.
A 24v motor with 2 batteries will give you a little better run time than a 12v motor with one battery simply because it is more efficient. A 24v motor should last longer than a same size 12v motor but then again it is hard to compare apples to apples because most 24v motors have more torque.
If you are looking for maximum run time; and your boat is small enough you can use a 12v motor(usually 55lb max) you are better off running a 12v motor with 2 batteries run in parallel.
Do not expect to get full amp hour rating out of any battery. This is mesured at 5amp load so a 100 amp battery will give you 20 hrs of work. But trolling motors pull 25 amps or more. The reserve capacity rating of a battery is a better indicator when figuring estimated run time on these size motors.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
