Bought my first canoe for $375, came with 3 paddles and a life jacket. It's a 17ft Michicraft aluminum canoe. My friend and I take it to Saguaro lake for bowfishing.
Bought another one for $350. A 17ft Alumacraft aluminum canoe. Came with a 40lb thrust motor and two paddles. Gambled with this one as it had a hole that was patched up with some sort of epoxy. Tested it out yesterday and it floated fine. No leaks or anything.
