I used to rent a boat at Lake Marvin outside of Calhoun, north of Cobb County. It’s a beautiful place, fished it many times.
Wasn’t sure if they still rented boats , but according to DNR they do

Is it worth the $50 for 2 people to go over there and rent a boat and fish? Is the chance to catch a few decent sized fish good?

Well the value of experience is a personal tangible, hard for me to say. The lake is well managed and there are some big fish, I have never fished it but I have seen some impressive catches from it.
I'd pay it.

I have a nice 16 foot with a 50 mercury on it. I'm always torn about selling it but money talks. I've used it more so far this year than past 5 years.

Free advice, worth what you pay for it.

I would buy my own elec. motor and especially a battery. The places that rent them are notoriously bad about maintaining and charging the batteries.

Get a kayak. I bought a lifetime tamarack angler kayak from wal mart for around $200 and it’s an awesome yak to be so cheap
