It depends on the size and style and then you need to decide new or used .With the amount you posted in your post you will need to buy used and it want be anything to big inless you up the money you want to invest.

You also need someone that knows boats to go with you when you are looking. Craigslists has boats that are "inexpensive", but that does not mean they are ready to run. Your price range is going to make it difficult to get a ready to run boat, not impossible, but difficult.

Look for an older boat that's in decent shape, with a slightly less older motor that's been taken care of. They're out there (I know, I have one).

I have a 1992 17-foot Scout, with a 2001 90hp Yamaha. Not selling right now, but it's in decent shape (motor is great), and I'd sell it for around $5K. It's nice looking, and even has a t-top and new leaning post with backrest.

Point is, they're out there -- just keep looking on craigslist and boattrader. Be patient, and be ready to pounce.

Good luck!
