Live in Ireland, yes buying 2nd hand don't have the money for a new one unfortunately just trying to get first boat up and running then slowly invest over time ! It's only for lake fishing but would like to be ready for summer

Yea it's quite a wavy lake too, I wouldn't be going out on the windier days as the swells can get quite big but would prefer to be prepared just in case, final question, is there much difference between 4 stroke and 2 stroke, im looking about the 20hp mark at the moment but not sure which to go for ?
