Jumbo that's what I'm saying. We are meeting on Monday. Hopefully it's not a Craigslist scam or someone that won't show because this seems like a steal. Hydrex I was also thinking better tires also especially with mud season in Maine everything is a disaster

Isn't it always muddy in Maine? (Other than dusty)

One last question on this topic. I know it only has 35 miles on it but what should I check. I am mechanically inclined so if I can have a few pointers. I know to check that serial number isn't scratched off. He is giving me the title and doing a bill of sale.

Look for any bends in the frame. Not likely unless beaten on badly. Cracked plastics can be a sign of abuse too, but they happen. Milky appearance of oil at the dipstick would mean it was submerged and the oil wasn't changed enough to purge the system of water. Don't know much about Arctic Cats but regular checks that you would do with any motor help.
