NMEA 2000 is still new and seems to have a few teething problems with manufacturers not adhering properly to the protocols. I don't know of any NMEA 2000 SSB transceivers.
Although not ideal, linking up an NMEA 0183 radio with a chartplotter on a boat with an NMEA 2000 sytem is not be much of a problem and I would go with the radio you want rather than something less good, because its NMEA 2000.
