Thanks to everyone for your help.

What it comes down to is $$. With one kid in college and the other in a private school, money is tight. I've been looking for some time for an 18 CC in this price range but all have been even older boats with older engines without the benefit of having been rebuilt.

Also figuring in the decision is that the cuddy is a drier boat. There will be a lot less grief if I can take my wife on moonlight cruises and picnicing on the harbor islands. With a CC, the first time she takes a wave in the face will be the last time she sets foot in the boat. Then I have to justify the expense of "my" boat, not "our" boat. It's all in the strategy.

It seems to be worth a look. Besides it's on the Cape and we can get some fishing in while we are there. If it doesn't work out, I'll just keep looking.
