If you will not be going into "real" winter,,, 0degF some nights and staying in warmish Seattle you might contemplate a modest system.
The Dickinson line of oil (diesel) fired ranges will put out 15,000-20,000 BTU , which is 3 or 4 electric heaters worth.They are reliable silent and need no electric to function , so produce no electric bill , and work in blackouts.
Many will mount in the std cut out for a galley range so are easy to install.
A deck iron , smoke head ,smoke pipe and easiest a bladder tank for diesel to gravity feed the range .
It will burn 1 to 3 or 4 gallons of diesel per day temperature depending.
If it gets winter cold an electric heater can be run for a day or two.
In the past ( 1970's ) I sold Espar and other repurposed truck heaters , and most required maint the owners could not provide.
The Dickinson worked for liveaboards for a season Nov till May (the water is still cold in the spring).
The hydronic system I would chose today would be the Hurricane , as it is built for a boat not a diesel bus4
