How about a home and garden supply? Sometimes they have plaster
statues. In all honesty, nekkid mermaids are much more common, but
I think I've seen small reproductions of famous greek or roman
sculpture. A peeing cherub would be an interesting variation.

A plaster statue would put some weight forward, too, for improved
performance.

How about a foam figurehead from an arts supply store? You could paint it
with paint and that would keep it from deteriorating. Light enough not to
pull the bow down. Soft enough to absorb that occasional ramming into dock...
