I had a '72 CC that was converted to a transom-mounted OB (had a '89 225 Johnson). The console wasn't original but it was a factory CC configuration. The hull bottom and deck are cored, hull sides are all glass. I had mine when my father had his 23' Sceptre and I was more impressed with the Seabird's ride than the SC. Now some of it may be the difference of a CC vs. cabin layout - driving position, center of gravity, etc., but if I dropped the tabs a bit into an honest 2-3' chop, she would eat it up.
To compare, I bought mine with a ratty painted steel trailer and no electronics in late '03 for $3700. I sold it in '08 with a brand new aluminum bunk trailer and electronics (VHF, FF, chart plotter) for $5,500 after having it on the market for a year.
