Concur,

nice boat, why fQck it up?

The boat isn't really as long as it looks. That bow has huge overhang and almost never gets into the act ..or does it? That's a big weight and bulk penalty to pay for apparently nothing. The extreme tumble home top sides are very very attractive and I agree w daiquiri but you may consider a slightly raised bridge for good visibility. Great looking boat timber.

Daiquiri is right: If you paint a cow with green colour, it will still not be a frog
You have a pretty hull there - but it is not a f/bridge cruiser.
