FM, check Craigslist for used boats. You can get some real deals.
The two happiest days of a boat owner's life are the day he buys the boat and the day he sells the boat.
Used boats are cheap, used motors not so much.
Do not close your mind to boats other than the "john boat". In my area you can pick up a good 16' runabout w/trailer for $200-$300. That would move the whole family out during a flood. They are also a more stable fishing platform than a John boat.
A motor will set you back at least $500.
