    Default boat


    is it possible to make/ buy a boat with motor for river fishing for under 500 dollers?

    So, even if you found the boat you're looking for, how would you get it to the river?

    I'd forget about a boat for now. You have plenty of time for that later. You can catch plenty of fish right now, without a boat.

    I say no too. I am very thrifty/cheap, and I say a boat motor needs to be reliable almost as much as an airplane engine. You may be able to find a good kyak from a rental place to get you on the water cheap, but fishing from one takes some experience, experience, and exercise.

    If you do, be sure to take a good paddle with you, like a "Feather Brand".

    Good advice and true. A day on the water can go south really quick when your motor craps out!
