I have a 19.5' CC with a 150 on the back. Not the fastest hull in the world but a good ride, very dry, and I highly recommend taking a look at them.

I have a similar one with a 115. It is a 99 and I am going to have to redo some of the gauges this year but it does a good job

I have a sv2100cc w/ a 140 Suzuki. I like it except that it is not very refined. My forward compartments rattle in chop b/c they don't have anything to keep them closed.
It definitely needs more than a 140 suzuki on it...but my gas mileage is great.
ETA: I have a 2002. Wish I had a 2004 or newer. Slightly wider and longer w/ a better designed rear livewell (more walking space) and better designed access to forward compartments.

thanks to all answering. i'm "shopping" now and hope to be able to pull the trigger on a new-to-me cc in approx 2 months.

Are you in the market for a 20' boat?

I have a 22 ft cc with a 200 Optimax. Bought it new in 2008. Love it. dry and sturdy ride.

I have an 18' Tidewater (same hull as a sea pro) and really like it.
It's a surprisingly good ride for it's size, fairly dry, and a pretty good layout.
The quality is better than I originally anticipated and it's pretty versatile (taken it over 20 miles out on the right day and it drafts about 6-8 inches loaded with three people and all gear necessary).
I routinely take it out to the Chandy islands and shallow rigs.
The only issue I have is the h.p. rating for the boat. The max h.p. is 115, I have a 90 on the back and it's really underpowered.
I've heard from other owners of these models that all their model sizes are rated low.
I've fished five people on the boat pretty comfortably (3 is better though...obviously).
I think they're great boats for the money...it's not top quality but it will get you on the water and perform very well in a wide range of set ups, all for a reasonable price.

I believe so. Another company bought them out and will fix any problems with the hull. Luckily I haven't had any kind of issue at all with it.
Those boats were a lot more popular in Florida and the east coast. I had mine priced out here for the boat show. Decided to see where the closest other dealer was to compare prices. The closest one was in Mobile, when I called him he was about $3,500 cheaper. I then called the next closet one which was in Ft Walton. He saved me a little over $7,000 for the exact same boat I was to buy here. Brought it to the local guy and said there was no way to match it.

Sea pros are great boats. I love mine (08 19 1/2 foot cc). The only negative is the wiring. It is shite. I will probably have mine re done in the near future.

I agree, the wiring sucks. Just had mine redone top to bottom. Mine is an 04. I can't say enough good about this boat though. Great looking, takes a good chop without looking back and very very dry.
I spent a little money on mine this year and put a hydraulic jack plate and trim tabs. Nice addition to fishing the ponds. I have no issues as long as I stay smart lol.
