Default Advice on trailerable cruiser to buy.

I know this is probably a often asked question, but here goes (maybe again).

I have a great Hobie 16 that I have sailed in Mission Bay, San Diego for the
last 8 years.

But now, I've got a lovely wife and two kids (6 and 2). Bottom line, I need
to ditch the cat and buy a monohull that is fairly dry and cozy for the
family members.

I am looking for a used boat that is:
1. trailerable (i.e. light and swing keel; I have a Jeep Liberty to tow)
2. inexpensive (under $4000)
3. easy to sail by one or two people
4. extremely safe
5. fairly fast under sail (I coming off a cat after all)
6. able to handle an outboard motor
7. has a cabin.

Been looking at MacGregor (19?) and Hunter (water ballast systems seems very
safe), and Catalina.

Any advice on these or others would be greatly appreciated as well as where
to look to buy.

Thanks,

Wes
