Find the local marinas, and talk to people with boats for sale. Just offer them whatever you can afford, and one will likely give it to you for cheap just to stop paying slip fees.
You could also try trading mechanic work for a boat. Especially if you're a diesel mechanic. Boat engines need work and maintenance constantly.
