What's the difference between a 'cuddy cabin' and a 'cabin cruiser'?

===========================

Chuck Gould gave you a good definition. My recommendation would be a
cuddy cabin model in the 22 to 24 ft range. I'd add "camper canvas"
for the cockpit area so you could sleep 2 people in the cuddy on
V-berths and 2 more under the canvas. It would be tight but OK once
in a while for a weekend or so. Good used cuddys in this size range
are frequently available for less than $10K USD. Figure on another
$3k to $5K for camper canvas and some minimal upgrades. Get a survey
report, especially for the engine, stringers, cockpit floor and
transom.
