I had a '72 CC that was converted to an OB. The guy I bought it from brought it up to the Cape from Florida. Had a 225 Johnson looper (the cover is from a 200) and ran great with that power - 25-27 knot cruise and 35 knot top end. I sold it back in '08 and word is she went down to the Florida panhandle. The hull is balsa cored as are the decks and cap, so water intrusion is a big issue. She'll roll a little more than a SC 23 due to the 24-degree deadrise, but she'll eat up the chop with the bow down. One of the sexiest boats I've seen in the CC configuration. She always turned heads wherever I went and she wasn't even close to perfect. With a total resto it would have been a pretty bad ass boat.
The liner on all configurations was the same...Seabird merely dropped a different cap on top to change the model. If you unbolted the cabin top off the one kmoose posted, you'd have the makings of a CC in no time.
