IFISH say's,

Welcome to the board mang. You should also check " Sportsmart " if you have one near you. They usually have sales and I've seen ODC's and creek companys on sale, and right around your price range. Good luck, and if you should happen to come up with about $1000 bucks, get a Versa Vessel. It'll be the ONLY boat you'll EVER need.
