Need a second opinion on boat value.

I would appreciate anyone out there that could help me figure out what this boats value is. Listed on ebay:

The motor on the boat pictured is NOT included. I have a brand new Briggs $ Stratton 5HP. It would be a 2 hour drive north of me for pickup. I have been to the Nada Guide site and find it hard to plug in the right equipment options there. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe there is a known history of problems with this type of boat, ETC.
Thanks in advance

i wouldnt want to have much more than the current bid in the boat your looking at its a nice set up, that is a fact, but if you already have a motor you can easily find 14' JB and trailers in the 800-1000 range. If it suits what you are looking for then maybe go a little higher but I would set the max at 1200, you can find one like it in much cheaper and build it the way you like. But then again, this is just my opinion.

I think I would rather find an old jon boat. Should be some for sale on the side of the road this spring. And for less money. A nice wide jon boat and your little motor would be a nice combo on small lakes and streams.

It is a nice boat but it is getting to the upper limit of its value. I would not bid much much higher.

Thank you very much:
buzzking,plowboy,mkspw and TimE.
You have confirmed my suspicion. I bid it up to $1000 and was starting to second guess how high I should go. I have a 16'er Jon, but no trailer. $1200 could go a long ways to getting that boat set up the way I want it. This cold weather has been bringing out the lazy in me so was trying to go the easier route by buying something ready to run.

TimE,
I am interested in the boat/trailer combo evan if I can only use the trailer for my 16,or maybe your boat is better. I just emailed you a few minutes ago but found your message kind of late.
