Al-- Very nice Poulsbo Skiff and tug. To me-- to me-- your tug is what a small recreational cruiser should look like, be it wood or glass. It would take pages to explain the what and the why so I won't, but I like boats with a very specific look and 99.999 percent of production cabin cruisers don't have it, be it Bayliner, Tollycraft, Carver, SeaRay, Ocean Alexander, you name it.
This has nothing to do with quality or function or value for money. I'm talking purely aesthetics here. Even our own PNW cabin cruiser is barely tolerable in this respect. But your tug has the magic design elements despite its small size.
Since moving to this region in 1979 and becoming ever more aware of its nautical history I have been very impressed by the boats that were turned out in the US and Canada for the fisheries and forestry services. Some were fairly large, 60 or 70 feet and some were down in the 30 to 45 foot range. Most of them were one-off designs. But almost all of them possessed the magic design ingredients for truly aesthetic boats by my standards.
To me, the aesthetics of a machine, be it a vehicle, aircraft, or vessel are a major component of the enjoyment I get out of operating it. I could never acquire what to me is an ugly boat, which as I say make up the vast majority of recreational production boats these days. I will sacrifice interior volume or other "user-friendly" features to preserve my standards of design aesthetics.
So while your tug may not possess all the "dock condo" features, to borrow FF's term, of today's bloated tubs that most boaters feel are essential to have in order to enjoy boating, I'd swap the dock condo features and melted plastic look for the aesthetics of your tug every time.
