The deck hatches look a little small for Square Grouper

Nice ride.
I'm curious about why the bilge vent is on the front of the hull behind the bow light?

there's a fuel tank in front, you can see the filler on top

Ok, I get that, but why the big bilge vent on the side? It's a gas tank like many other boats have. I assume it needs the standard >1" tank vent for expansion, fuel delivery and fuel consumption. Am I missing?
Just curious

All of the Mistresses that I have ever seen have had the engine room vents up on the front sides of the boat I guess its to keep the moisture down in the bow cavity.
