Aaron started approaching people about buying their boats. It takes a lot of nerve, so I'm proud of his effort here. So far we found out one guy is willing to sell his damaged boat - but at a price far above what we can afford. Another man isn't willing to part with his... though its in need of massive repair. Plus, there's another man who wants the same wreck boat, so we'd be second in line if the guy ever decided to sell.

No problem. There's plenty of other boats in the world, and we're still looking.

Both these boats were larger than I really wanted to get for Aaron. He wants motors and speed. I think a rubber raft would be perfect since we live next to a river... not that I really want him in the river all the time but its a rafting and inflatable kayak sort of river. We've been down it in a large raft (paid $25 each for the experience) and wrote news stories to commemorate it.
