Lehr was the one I was considering but I have decided to hold off for a while on a gas engine. I also learned you have to use a special tank vapor vs liquid or it will not run. I was attracted to it because I can use a bbq grill tank and the Lehr will not run with that thank. Trolling motor will have to be enough for now. Another person said a 9.9 may be overkill. I disagree, weight of myself and son will be 350lbs, battery, fuel, trolling motor, tackle, anchor, paddles, cooler and anything else I will need to bring. I feel 5hp will be a bit under powered. But that will be a decision for the future.
