Timothy,
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.

2003 22 ft. SeaSport
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.
