Where are you/the boat located?

Thank you all for all the awesome & helpful advice! Sadly I am a New England paddler...where no other paddlers seem to be. But there are a few places where I can try out boats and I'll keep searching for other whitewater river paddlers in the area. Thank you again for all the help!

I am a beginner whitewater paddler, seeking advice before purchasing my first boat. I'm looking to buy a boat (hopefully used) but am a little baffled on what I should be looking for. I am a small woman, 5'3" and 110 pounds. I have only been paddling for a year and am sticking right now with class 1...
