One of the best places to start your search would be to contact Dave Lee of Prairie Rowing in Oklahoma City. He sells Maas boats and has a good working relationship with Pocock, too. He has a line on several used boats that fit your budget. His email is dave@prairierowing.com or you can Google on Prairie Rowing or just go to the www.maasboats.com web site and click on their dealers page.
