I had a '76, the 16 1/2" track makes them very stable, the seat is nice for 2 people. The 440 is supposed to be the better engine (I had a 340). The points on mine were my bane, I never did get them adjusted right. Sure hope you have better luck!
The hoods are almost always cracked if not broken to pieces, Ski-Doo was one of the first if not the first that went to plastic hoods. I had some plastic repair stuff that was pretty good, made in Canada, I can't remember the name. I got it it at the Auto Parts store. You can fix it pretty good with fiberglass too, just make your patch big and scuff the plastic real good before you glass. You won't make a show sled that way but a good rider can be fixed up. Maybe have 2 hoods, a perfect one for shows and a repaired one for riding. They swap out easy enough.
