Hi J
That's a tough one. I'd keep scouring craigs list, the want ads etc. Have you thought about how you're going to move and store it?
Depending on the water you're fishing and what you're after you might consider either a used canoe or even a couple of float tubes.
Wish I could be of more help.

Thanks larry,
i would probably just store it in my garage and move it with the help of my dad.

Josh

Hi Fishfanatic,
I spoke with my fishing buddy Josh Stevenson who owns blue ribbon bait in St Paul about your predicament. He's promised to help try and find you a boat within your budget. Please give him a call at Blue Ribbon Bait (he'll be at the musky expo at concordia college this weekend) and he'll keep on the look-out, plus you can post a "want ad" at his store.
Hope this helps.
best,
L

Young man Check Craigslist. 2 yrs ago i baught an old lowe canoe for like 150.00. The guy even dilivered it to my house. I have moved on to a salt water fishing Kayak there a ball of fun with big fish on the line. I get in small creeks & rivers that feed into the missouri river a boat would never try getting into. Young man please where a lifejacket regardless of the type of fishing you do
