The hard thing about half and half is to truly split your 12V systems - half the load on one side and half on the other. Not to mention replacing the new engine's 12V system (starter, alternator, instrumentation, etc.) with 24V equivalents.
Granted, if all things were equal, 24V thru the whole system would be the way to go, but the only thing demanding 24V right now is the seldom-used bow thruster - and the more-used windlass (assuming I do the 24V upgrade). IOW - 99% of the time, 24V isn't being used...
