I'd buy a used flat bottom, and put the money into a good engine.
I like the blue wave super-t. It runs real skinny.

if you are looking for the ability to run pretty shallow and still not get beat up in the bay you might look at a tunnel vee style of boat. there are a bunch of texas boat makers that make tunnel vees: shoalwater, explorer, el pescador, baysport, southshore. used should be no problem in that price range and you would be close to new for a couple of the manufacturers i listed.

look on the shallow sport website in the used boat section, the 18ft boat they have with a 115 will run in inches of water and rides very dry. we fish out of a 18ft shallow sport with no sides and its amazinly dry, rides great, and will pretty much run on wet grass
