I am really happy w/ the ride, but really have no other SC to compare to. If the CC models do ride better, than WOW! - that must be an amazing ride.

As for fuel - I'm a little crazy - I keep the tank full almost always and never less than 1/2 so I have never experienced the difference that way either.

I will say that my boat performs best w/ the engine tilt almost all the way down ( not tilted at all ). She presents the hull to waves 'just right'. When I trim up a bit, I feel a little porpoising/bounce, so I might have a 'light bow'. I might need weight in the bow!

When I am in any type of following sea, I will trim up to receive the waves better.

Hope this made sense.
