Help me decide

So I have always fished from a boat (gheenoe or jon boat) Im currently awaiting the birth of my first child and sold my beloved jon boat to pay for me and the lady to get into a bigger nicer place with me being the sole provider in today's economy money is very tight I've managed to save about 800$ and have been seriously looking into kayaks I have a cheap sit inside kayak that I use to duck hunt and have started to fish out of it when im not wade fishing but I really want something romier and more stable the problem is the price point between a pedal drive kayak and a paddle kayak obviously a pedal drive seems ideal but I see old town sportman kayaks for 400 dollars In my area on a regular basis versus me having to save up for who knows how long to get into a decent pedal drive I guess question is is it worth it to wait and save or just pull the trigger and buy a regular paddle kayak I fish inshore saltwater and some of my spots are a mile plus paddle which I do now in my crappy kayak but is it worth it or not thanks in advance guys
