Hmm... 100 smackers....
The only longboard i can think of that is under 100 bucks would be ones that pop up quite often on www.1-day.co.nz. The brand is usually "reckon" and they are usually about 80$ but performance is average-below average

I would go for that, then save up for a truck upgrade (everything else looks to be marginally OK on that board)
Jestah (jestah at neednotollie.com) has some bear grizzlies that would be pretty good, or check trademe for randal or paris 180s.
Anyone got a cheap deck,

Rekon deck
i got one of those rekon decks a while ago, original setup was shit. but chucked some randal 180's on it, with speedemon 65mm, and abec 9 rush bearings. it runs sweet! decks fine. hardware is crap. what can you expect from $60 though
Edwards
Edwards decks have some real nice flex
there are usually some on trademe for about 100.
if you put randals on those they carve like a dream
Bestboards
Nacho has a whole lot of plain bamboo pintail decks, no grip or graphic for $40, Real cheap and you could do a cool custom job on it, not sure what they ride like but they're cheap and look fairly descent.
