what do you mean stock #?

i would try and look at the hull to see any stress marks or cracks.. what are you going to use it for? if you have freestyle/freeride in mind you might want to think about a superjet insted

anyway good luck with your new buy!

Ask the dealer to pull the plugs should be nice tan or darker and both should be the same. If one is white or close to it could indicate it'll need crank seals. Also ask the dealer to check compression for you while you are there. Should be about 150 or higher and the 2 cylinders should be withinn 5 PSI of eack other. If one is significantly less than the other there could be cylinder damage. Have a look in the intake grate also to see what condition the leading edge of the impeller is like.
