fishing boat question?

My friend and i are considering buying a boat to go fishing in waters near our houses in new york. (mostly calm water) We are not sure what kind of boat to get. Keep in mind we are only teenagers with limited money looking to spend no more than $350. i know sports authority has a canoe for this price but am not sure if this would be ideal for fishing. There are also numerous "inflatable boats". Now i dont know if i should trust this because of the fear that it may pop. Any good cheap boats that you guys are aware of? What kind of boat should we pursue?
