    Most boats here are banca, you can get one built, 15-25 feet,cost between 10-20k, then engine from 8-30 k, depense on brand and hp, cheap chinese, or quality brand like Honda or Kohler. Normal hp for this size boat are between 6-16 hp. Problem can be where to keep your boat. Have a local caretaker, you can trust is one way to do it. Kayak is another possibility, easy to bring around. I know a good boatbuilder in Dumaguete, many locals say they are the best in this area

    I admit I have never looked for one around here, so I took a look at "street level Google images" and found the following pics at this location
    9°17'51.11" N 123°18'38.77" E

    I have no idea if it is even still there but if I were you I would definitely want to take a real life look. Could be exactly what you want.

    Name is Lorenzo, sorry can't find phone number, but can ask a friend, sure he have it. It's 2 brothers, youngest build the boats, good guys, built many boats. You can see some of the banca they built if you visit. From Robinson you pass by Ceres busterminal and new Macdonalds, (one way traffic) then first street right, 200 meter turn left, you there. I bought second hand banca, it's built there, and they made stainless outrigger for me. I'm happy with my boat, good design, wider than normal, use it for fun and fishing with rod and reel
