If you go for an Atomic 4 over the diesel, then you should be able to get a C&C 27 in your area and in your price range...
They were the best-selling C&C model. There were five versions made. Some of the versions are noticeably different. I think that the Mk III is the favoured one for cruising, and the Mk V is the better club racer. The 27's have a reputation for soggy decks - not sure if it is a case of them being built differently from other C&C's or if it is just because there are so many of them out there that you heard more about it. In any event, an awful lot of them have been recored by now, so chances are fairly good that you'll find one in decent shape.
Good boats, active class association and some parts are still available. You might also look at Paceships and Grampians - two lesser-known brands that were well-built and tend to sell at resonable prices.
