KAD 32 170 hp Diesel with Dual Prop, Yamaha 9.9 Kicker with separate tank and electric start, Wash down Pump, Marine Head with holding tank, Wallas Diesel stove and heater, Rear steering station with controls, Shore power with battery charger, Furono NavNet.
Boat has 50 hours on it. I've been looking at Seasport for a long time and was quite suprised to find this model with the diesel as its a rare setup. Its on the smaller end of what I've been looking at, but given the Seasport hull and the diesel option I'll have no worries about taking this boat anywhere in SE alaska.

These are damned nice boats. I first saw one at a dealer's booth at a boatshow and I was mightily impressed with the design, the features and the solidity of construction They're very expensive when new, relative to other boats their size. I was sort of interested in a 27-footer with a bracket for twin outboards, but at the time I don't think such an option was offered.
The only question I'd have about your intended rig is whether 170 hp through an outdrive is sufficient. On an outboard boat of that size and weight, I'd want a 200 at least.
But, then, you're in Alaska, and I have no idea what the usual conditions are where you boat.
Alaska. Gotta get there for a nice long vacation.

They are great boats. I have a buddy on the west coast who loves his. I love the classic lines. The 170 hp diesel should be more than enough power.
When you said they Dual Prop's I assume you mean Volvo's Duo-Prop. The Duo-Prop is a nice. You will get better performance with the Duo-Prop without any prop torque. The boat will not want to steer to one side. You will also find it is substantial easier to back the boat into your slip.
If this is the I/O Duo-Prop, I have always preferred a Inboard, if the boat is to be keep in the water, (i.e. not trailered).
Volvo has a new system with has the space advantage of an I/O, without the negatives of a large hole in the transom (the soft bellows can be a problem if the boat is kept in the water) It is called the ISP system, sort of like the old saildrive systems. You may want to check and see if SeaSport is offering it as an option.
