Would something like this be a good buy?? I'm thinking staying in this general price range to start out and putting some elbow grease into it would be what I would want for a start.

No that would not be a good deal.
Don't pay more than $3K for a Catalina that old unless it's just completely cherry and decked out to the gills with sails and extras.
And if you can, find one that's trailer sailed and freshwater mostly. Saltwater changes a lot of shite you need to look for and there's plenty of Catalina 22s out there that might be a little more of a drive, but would be worth it.
And like I said earlier. For the Catalina 22, unless you're racing, get one later than 86. It has an anchor locker and a fuel locker as well as big ole cockpit scuppers. Just a much better planned out design. Not that the one's prior to that weren't. It's the most popular trailer sailor ever built for a reason, but they did improve it significantly.
