Great tips already said.
Look for the obvious. Deep scratches, deformed hull, cracks especially around scupper holes. Could also knock down price if there is excessive wear and tear on the handles, bunjees, fittings, or any hardware corrosion. Insist on a leak down test. Fill hull with water and sit tight. You'll see leaks appear if there are any. I wouldn't worry about ones above the waterline around fittings or handles unless the leaking is major and cant be remedied with a sealant.
