The DE-0061 seems to be the only option for boaters requiring this size of fridge. The Polar appears to be a superior fridge to the 0061, especially when it says that it can run on any 3 power sources. Dimensions are same. Should work, right?

We wouldn't recommend it. The NA7LX is a 2-way (LP and AC only), so it won't run on 12V at all. More importantly, absorption fridges need an open flame and a flue vented outside when running on propane, which isn't a safe setup on a boat. They also need to sit level, and a rocking boat keeps them from cooling well. The DE0061 is a compressor fridge built for marine use, so a compressor model is the right choice for a boat.
