Wooldridge makes a great boat! I have a 22' Classic with an inboard. You do lose some space, but with my boat the engine sets forward so you can walk completely around it! The engine cover actually provides good work space for cutting bait etc. If you run any white water, the inboard proves far superior to an outboard (less cavitation!!!!!). If your not dead set on a new boat with an outboard give me a call. (541)382-8678 or (541)923-8699 This boat can be seen in the classified section also.
