used is probably a cheaper way to do it, search craigslist for something. if i was you though i wouldnt get a canoe. ive honestly been fishing since i was about 18months old. my parents were pretty “outdoorsy” so ive been in a few boats. a canoe is really unstable and too small. you should find a nice v-hull 12-14ft boat 🙂 ---
