Hello,
DC-DC Boost Converter Design not functioning properly, i couldnt pinpoint the problem and i have tried lots of stuff but i wasnt able to get Vout =24V.

Your problem is with the diode model. I made a substitution, and the simulation works OK.
ETA: The MOSFET does not appear to have a problem. I also changed the rise and fall times on V2 to more realistic values.

Both of you, thank you so much. I have been trying to fix for last 12 hours :')
No problem, and sorry for your agony, but I suggest you look at the LTspice Error Log (LTspiceXVII) or Output File (LTspiceXXIV) next time you have a problem. Use the Control Key and the letter L to make the output file/error log visible. You can also use the View menu.

The performance of a Boost-Converter is highly dependent upon
ALL of the specific details and the exact specifications of each component in the Circuit.

It's almost a waste of time to try modeling a Boost Converter,
the actual performance in the real-world will always be, at the very least,
somewhat different than the performance of the simulation.

Texas-Instruments provides a calculator service that
recommends specific-part-numbers for all of the various components,
and still, if You look at it crooked, the performance will change in some way.
It's just a matter of whether or not your design can tolerate the various quirks.

If You are expecting any kind of serious Power-Output,
I would recommend using a "Push-Pull" design with a Toroidal-Transformer-Output,
instead of a Boost-Converter design.
It will be far more stable and reliable, and
generate very little Electrical-Noise compared to the usual very-noisy Boost-Converter.

For those unfamiliar with diode modeling, parameter TT is related to the depletion layer capacitance and is described by one source as:

TT is an additional dynamic parameter, related to an additional
capacitance component referred to as the stored-charge capacitance.

I agree with Alex, that 173μF is a pretty big hump to overcome.
