= Tiny mast added so the mast top light can be closer to navigation codes
= Fixed stern white light not turning on
= Small climbing step added at stern. Its above the railing walkway next to the ladder. Seems much easier to jump up with it thier.

= Increased bow mag all array from 3 vertical to a 5 element cross (+ shape)

= Added a bow winch and simple magall anchor. A spare simple is in the aft of the engine room. These simple ones will not return a connected signal. That would take 2 more blocks for a composite write as is in the larger anchor on the stern.

This bow winch and anchor are for simplifing beaching or near shore anchoring.

Pike is capable of slow beach approach to bush up on the beach. Wave action at high winds might dislodge it though. High speed beach approaches will damage the bow and if the waves put the boat back in the water flooding will start.

= Gave the parcel cage robot hinges to open and close vs the fixed "catcher's mit"

= Added automatic heater with a throttle for temperature.

Note: Heating is only for the main cabin and the sleeping bunk. The engine room has no heater.

Feature creep has affect price from ~46K to ~47K. Won't be adding much more to keep in this price range. So no radar as its expensive for both the radar and large enough monitor to make use of it. For a radar fitted boat look into the Arctic Pike or the Columbia and Thelon.

Tweak of the stern step to be in line with the ladders by removing the fourth ladder rung. Jumping up there now pretty quick.

Change of swimmers deck on the stern back from railing to a wedge shape. checked and the 1x4 pyramids have the same weight as railings. Railings were a neat idea to try but the wedges more consistent with real boats.

Interior cabin decoration. Mostly more locker on paint blocks. More aggressive use of using them to also be hull. In my early builds I treated the hull block as untouchable but you really can use those space for other things.

Found that in fog the stern light was light flooding the rear camera. Moved light down the post and made it a little softer (a light grey instead of white).

Labeled cargo hatch button

Labelled speed indicator as being in knots

Light anchors given a handle so the natural balance will point the magall down so much easier. Before you could grab at the mag all but then it points up making it awkward to get it to grab the shore where you wanted.

Scuba changed to diving suit (does cost more) and giving an air refill pump since the DEVS broke the old system

Diving suit lasts 10 min vs 2 min but costs $1,500 more. 2 min scuba is enough for repair of your own boat or nearby... and very short exploring. Diving suit is more useful for exploring wrecks.

Added some pressure relief and pressure to tank systems to go along with the compressed gases and issues when fuel is low
