There are kits and plans available for a wide variety of boat designs and construction methods. If you already have the tools and work space, you can build a very nice, customized boat at a very reasonable cost. Not only would you have a very nice boat, you'd have the satisfaction of having built it yourself. If you don't want to build your own, and want to get the most for your money, do consider finding a good used boat. Most people take pretty good care of their boats, and if they sell them, it's usually because they need to make more space for a different boat...not because there's something terribly wrong with the one they're selling. I mention this, because in the realm of new, commercially built composite boats, it might be very difficult to find good new boat for $2300 or less. -- Melissa *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
