>>1165320For $1k, Get a used jon boat with trailer and motor on CL.
Or the kayak.
I've had my cheapo kayak for 2yrs now. I basically use it to access bank spots I wouldn't otherwise be able to get to. For me, I dont actually fish in it that much in the kayak. But now I want a small fishing boat and it would make the kayak obsolete to me, except for some small rivers when the water is low. But solo camping trips are fun on the river so there's always that.
Get the kayak
