big fish that are caught from boats are caught trolling and you need a motor for that which run 600+$$$[/quote]
That is a big myth! Not true at all. You can get big fish by trolling yes but i catch big fish all the time simply by finding some structure and fishing it from every angle. Im out on my boat all the time and i can confidently say that i get alot more big fish simply from casting rather than trolling.
So if you have your mind set on getting a boat go for it. I bought my first boat when i was your age for $500.00 It was a 12' aluminum deep-V and it had a 10hp motor on it. Since then a had a few boats and im proud to say that i still have my first boat and i use it on smaller lakes instead of taking my bigger boat. Still runs like a top! Just go out and cut some grass for a summer and shovel some snow in the winter (if you get any) and by spring you will have enough money to buy a decent boat.
