The Minnkota onboard chargers are lithium capable. They are also capable of charging dissimilar circuits, for instance your 12v starting battery and your 24v trolling motor system, simultaneously without the need to separate.
As for your AH question, battery life all depends on the size of the boat, how much wind, how hard you're running the electric, etc. 100 AH is a good sized battery and should last a long time.
I have a 36v 100 AH LiPo in my boat. The Minnkota was not capable of charging a Li of that much voltage, so I had to buy a dedicated golf-cart battery charger, but for two 12v, you'll be fine with a regular onboard charger.
