1997 GSX Limited w/ 951

[bshep]

Hello all , new here and new to PWC. I am heading to buy my first seadoo on Friday. It is a 1997 GSX Ltd with the 951 motor. It has 44 hrs on it. Winterized at the dealer since new, has not been used since winterized in 2005. Been stored in doors covered since new. What should I be looking for? I'm a pretty good backyard mechanic. It looks better than my buddies 2006 not a mark anywhere even the bottom, its a great price, these in my area are selling for 4-5K and i can get it for less than 1/2 that.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
