Willing to drive, so if anyone up to 6 hours from Baltimore knows of a boat I should check out...[/quote]
Getting a boat inside your price range is always a good idea, there are always upgrades you want to do.
I've always sailed Hobie 18's with wings, often with a lot of weight and up to four adults in lots of conditions. It will be a lot easier to handle (and find) a Hobie 18 with wings than a Hobie 21.
There is a 1987 that looks really complete in the classifieds relatively close to you for $2,300.

And a nice looking Hobie 18SX (longer wings, slight taller mast and vertical cut sails) for $5,000 if you want to stretch.
