Welcome...
No boat or rtr rc anything is really out of the box and play with it. When it comes to mass produced rc's you have to go over them with a fine tooth comb. Yes you should lube the shaft prior to operation and also check all the hardware and make sure everything is secure. Grim racer speed grease is the best (in my mind). Yes the electronics are well sealed. Lipos can be 2x 5000mah 30c+ or 1 4s 5000mah 30c +. A good place to start is also changing out the deans connections and changing out the motor/esc bullets to 5.5mm or higher. Also check the proboat section of this forum for future questions.
