There are several up here that have hulls in the early 80's, They are good hulls too. The floors changed from balsa core to ply wood some where around this time and yours may have ply in it. The deck height is higher that the older early 70's models which is nice. That will help offset the weight of the heavier outboards and keep the deck more self bailing. The early hulls pre oil embargo hulls have heavy fiberglass layups and the latter hulls may not be as thick but they are still good better built, thicker than most other manufactures. They say the Potter years are a little better built but there are many in the 80's done just as well and you can find some older ones that were built at quitting time that are not as nice as others so I wouldn't worry there. Most SC hulls I have seen have all been fairly well built regardless of the year. The main thing is the VDR on the bottom, that is what is special. If your heart is in it and you have the time and funds I would go for it... I would say any older SC hull is worthy of a re-build its just a matter of giving the blood, sweat and tears at this point forward.
