Keck-
Most of the older, full-keel designs, are less spacious than the newer fin-keeled designs—both in beam and headroom generally.
Unfortunately, headroom is not a specification on most boats... and it varies from place to place on a boat.
I don't believe the Cape Dory 25D is going to have the headroom you're looking for... I've been on several Cape Dories, both the 25 and the 25D and neither has all that much headroom IIRC.
The Allied Chance might fit the bill.

As might the Bristol 29.9

As might the Laguna 30.

I believe these are all full-keel designs... but you'd have to double check.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
