Have you considered any other boats? The Mariner 19 is very popular in your area.

Catalina Capri 18 Oyster Bay
Will - Yes I actually considered the mariner but could not find a keel version available around for sea trial. Most are CB version and I would prefer a keel. Not planning on trailering so the boat would stay at a mooring. Also the Mariner has a really tiny cabin. I had a chance to sail on a Capri and though it was well designed for the size with a comfortable cockpit and cabin.

Stuart Marine Corp. out of Rockland Me. rents Mariners, sells new and used, as well as builds them. If you were interested in a sea trial of a keeled version, I'm sure they could set you up.

I don't know how the cabin compares to the Capri, but the cockpit is really very nice at 7+ feet and there is room for 4 to sleep.

It sounds like you've done your research and know what you want. Good luck, the Capri is a sweet looking boat.

O’Day 192 New York
Check out the O’Day 192 as well. It’s a similar boat that has a short keel and a centerboard so it only draws 17”.
