The boats you are looking at have a reputation of the frame welds letting go or the frames breaking. If you are a heavier person they may not last.
I purchased a couple and they served us well for a few years. One other local kid had one that needed to be rewelded. You can get 100-150 for them used so cheap entertainment.
You will also need waders, fins and a couple of life jackets in you budget.
For 3-400 you can sometimes pick up a Fishcat 8 ft Streamer on Kijiji if you don't mind waiting for the deal. The Outcast are much better boats as are the Water Skeeters IMO.
