$100-$200 range, maybe a hair more. Ive been thinking dagger freefall. (vintage affordability) Affordability is key, here since i'm just starting out and do not have gear.

I'm looking for a good river running/creek boat 9-11' that I can use for multi-day expeditions, (hence the length) which can also get down in the WW. Something that can handle anything I throw at it but comfortable enough on my lower back. I may modify the boat to have a flip up skeg, for flatwater.

I am 5' 7" 150LBS male, I am experienced with white water paddling in general but still only a beginner to intermediate. However, I am a noob to WW kayaking specifically. That being said I have a strong aptitude for these sorts of things and am not afraid of stepping into a more advanced hull, I do not want an outright beginner boat. More like intermediate to novice, so that I may grow into it. I am interested in your ideas and any boats you may have for sale. Thanks.

opinions and ideas welcome people.
