I have to make a livewell. Is this a good pump?

I am using a 12" row boat...What size cooler do you recommend?

Looks like a a pretty good pump, and I wouldnt go smaller than a 20 gallon cooler with that.

Looks like the pump will do just fine. Keep in mind it looks like it goes on the trolling battery, so make sure you have enough capacity or a backup option.

As for the cooler, get the biggest one you can conveniently accomodate in your boat. Since quarters are likely to be tight for the fish, consider picking up a livewell additive like Please Release Me or a similar product (http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_1268_100011014_100000000_100011000?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCT). It should reduce the stress put on the fish. If it's really hot, be prepared to replace the water with colder lake water on occasion, or bring a smaller cooler with ice (and beverages!), and dump some of the ice into the livewell now and then to keep the temperature bearable for the fish.
