OK, you all have valid points, but here it is in a nut shell,
he is wanting too duck hunt, that there says he doesn't need a prop and doesn't a deep-v
he wants it too double as a fishing boat as well
this is what it sounds like he needs, 12'-14' flat or semi-V, with either a mud motor or a jet outboard, alot of the duck hunting is going too be on the river which for the most part can only be run safely with a jet or mud motor.... as stated, you want too spend your money on the motor, you could get a boat/trailer flat bottom for probably 300 bucks if you watch craigslist...
this is what he should look for in my opinion,

something like this just slightly smaller...
you may want too consider holding off until you get say 4,000 too spend, just my opinion, do right the first time, me it took 3 times too get it right and its still not quite what I wanted as far as motor age.... but you have too weigh your pro's and con's on what you would use it for, that would make it alot easier in selecting a boat/motor combination, everyone is giving there opinions on what they have or would like as far as what they use it for, make a list and see what your going too use it most for, have any questions feel free too PM me,
