Is there something specific about the 318's to look for? I really don't
know anything about a 4 stroke, inboard drive but I've rebuilt a few 289's
and 350's. Other than a compression and oil pressure check and obvious
cracks in the exhaust/cooling system, what else? I can see how, if it's not
an outboard, the inboard drive should be much simpler and less prone to
failure than an out-drive.

Decent boats with shallow draft. As Harry suggested have a good surveyor
go
over them. The engines bear a very close look. I like them.

Yeah. Great canoes, great round bilge, canvas covered cedar strip
outboard boats in the late 1940s and 1950s, really beautiful little
boats.

... at least until they're backed into:
