I'm just sayin. Shower at the marina. The solar shower can be rigged to work in the enclosed head. Hang the bag on the goosneck and run the hose through the porthole for the head?
The way to keep a 16 yr old cruising? Tell her she can invite her friends. Decide early on how many friends, maybe one at first and see how it goes. Take lots of pictures. Make it fun. Don't scare her or ever make her look bad in front of her friends. Order pizza delivered to the dock. Let her plan the snacks and drinks, or maybe choose where to go. Let her steer while you tend the sheets and control lines. Learn how to handle your boat so you never ever hollar at anyone and you'll be the coolest dad ever. She'll be inviting boys along, probably older boys, so it's a great way to keep her close as she is picking dating partners. Great moments will develop to compliment her on her choice of quality friends, etc. Guys who are going somewhere, guys who can learn, take care of themselves, who think, and can take care of her, etc. My daughter is now 24. She graduated the USCG Academy as a Marine Science Major, and is presently a Lieutenant stationed at National Headquarters in Wash DC. Truth be told, she hates boats. Hates sailboats especially when they "lean", but loved inviting older guys to come for a sail. She later served her first two years at sea sometimes commanded the bridge of a 378' cutter in the Pacific, but never learned to love sailboats. That's Dad's thing. Just sayin, the water heater may not win her over. How you treat her when she is aboard carries more weight. But do the water heater project for purely selfish reasons and keep us informed.

Probably have to buy one already made. I heat mine almost exclusively with the engine in the time that it takes to get to the mooring or pier.

As such I wonder if I can just get a heat exchanger and pressure tank for hot water rather than buying a 120V hot water heater. Or is it a useless effort? am I better off just buying the pre-packaged unit? Thoughts?

The unit is about 14" x 14" x 19" tall. Cost was about $230 plus UPS - about $250 total. I see them listed on Amazon, Go2Marine, and other websites. You might be able to get one on E-Bay for $150-175. Mine is mounted on a shelf in the cabinet under the galley sink, in an outboard area that was not easily accessible for storing stuff, nor used for anything else. The location also puts it within 18" of the pressure water pump on my boat. Josh, why so much copper on your installation? I have used brass adapters and connected right to the hoses for engine coolant and the pressure water system.

Raritan's 1700 Series replacement model is one half inch bigger than my old one, and I had trouble removing the old one from the locker, so I think that model is out of the question. So if anyone can please chime in and let me know what specific model you have installed, it would be most appreciated!
