Nice catch, Officer! Well, let's be honest. This is a "Let's go for a boat ride" boat for us, not a "Let's go boating for the day" boat. 
I did plenty of night boating in my younger, dumber days. We take our center console out for "boating" days. Having said that, I saw no reason to have a bow nav light. You've gotta love technology, I found this mini LED suction cup light to keep in the boat for 20 bucks. I bought 2 so I have an extra and will keep one on the boat for those nights that we want to idle through the canals to the local restaurant/ bar or get caught out after sunset.

Good golly Miss Molly. That looks amazing. LMK when you are ready to sell.
A few years back I sold my 20' Spectra Day Cruiser; as it was just "too big" for a little boat to whip out for an afternoon. My reasoning was if I was going to have a ~20' boat, I wanted a Donzi Classic, Cigarette 20', or the 22' AT outboard.
I would totally rock that Cig 20' when you are done with it, AND it's my current color preference too! Well done Craig.

I took the Merc manifolds off so I could get my fat ass in there to get to it hanging upside down and decided at that moment that I could save the weight of a chubby female by going with a Stainless Marine system... LOL Two days ago I decided that I should change the plugs. Again... I am sore as a MoFo from doing that and my hands are all cut up. I got to feel what it was like to do something without eyesight!. So.....if this boat ever needs an impeller or spark plugs, It may be for sale!!

Fantastic, and thanks for the tip on the light. The starboard light on my tiger isn't working and instead of spending days tracking that down I'm going to spring the $20. I never boat at night so it isn't worth my time to fix other than it drives me crazy.....
