A boat question(not a Seacraft)

[bigeasy1]

A friend of mine is looking for a boat in the 22 to 24 foot range for the great lakes.Of course I told him he needs a SeaCraft,but he either can't find one that doesn't need a total restoration or if already done,it's more than he can spend.
We came across a 1972 23' Seabird listed for sale, on a bulletin board in a local tackle shop.The picture of course looks good,but who really knows what shape it's in.
The seller claims it's in good shape,has a late model 2001 trailer,lots of fishing equipment tackle downriggers etc.He's asking $5,000 for it.

My question I guess is,does anyone know what the ride is compared to the Seacraft. Did these Seabirds have a cored hull ?.
I seem to remember someone on this site that had a Seabird ctr console.I've heard a lot of good stuff about them,but other than some pictures,I don't know anything about them.The one for sale is a cuddy model with kind of a strange looking high top cabin on it.It may have been something built by the owner or previous owner.

Anyone have any direct experience with this brand and it's hull and ride,is it worth a look,anything special to look for or ask of the seller??
