    looks clean and fresh by the pictures, just ask about the bearings on the trailer. if your taken it out on a harbour be no harm to have a back up engine, oars and a vhf radio. there is no second chances with the sea. Also i would say a 5hp for lake fishing. maybe a 7hp short shaft if your taken it out in the harbour. changing and strong currents you will need a little more power.
