re: Inflatable boats for fishing and messing around

You can get them with a trolling motor but it would be out of your price range. Kayaks are good for short distance. It all depends on where you want to fish.

It would mostly be for lake use is what I'm envisioning. Kayak would be cool to have, but I just want to relax on the lake for a few hours, not give myself an upper body workout that will make me ready to get out of the water in half an hour.

I would feel safe in a well made inflatable with multiple air chambers, I just don't want to take the time dealing with it if they puncture all the time. From the reviews I've read elsewhere and how they are marketed, they seem to be pretty durable.

I would try to stay away from structures in the water and areas where I couldn't tell what was right below the surface which would hinder my fishing, but it's more about the experience of getting out on the water and doing some fishing than trying be serious about fishing.
