Lots in there for under a grand, thanks guys.
lets us know what you find?
Bunch of 14' Gregor and Valco boat for under $2000. Lots of nice one with trolling motor, fish finder, battery, and trailer included in the deal. But it a small boat so I can only take one other guy with me. What I'm looking for is one with a helm and center concle style set up. I'll look in to the cause of installing a helm and deck my self. Found a 14' haul that look really clean for $350.

14 ft you can get away with 3 guys total
what type of hull and material also the age?
The one I saw are range from late 70s to Mid 90s. They say it would hold three person max or 500 - 600 lb depending on the model and setup.The boat is a welded aluminum haul with flat bottem. My buddy have a 14 footer and it doable with two guys and all the gear in boat. If you drifting bait I'm sure three guys would be fine, but have three guys chucking swimbait in a 14 footer can get kinda scary.

you most likely will want to stay in the later 80's to the later 90's unless the thing is in like new condition with no cracks or rewelds.
