Very solid construction, which you would expect from a boat of this generation. The hull is clinker built, mahogany on oak with a solid ply superstructure

| No. of single berths | 2 |

The accommodation is sound if not basic although it does have a new marine WC fitted. With a little imagination this could be improved with, for example, the addition of a cooker and some soft furnishings making a nice little weekender. Other owners have fitted a cockpit tent which would considerably extend the usable living accommodation.

Broker's Comments
****MASSIVE PRICE REDUCTION****
Originally commissioned as a tug for the 12 metre racing class yacht ‘Vanity' ,this pretty and classic Nelson 23 motor launch has undergone a major refurbishment of her mechanical, electrical and navigational systems over the past 2 years. Her hull, with a combination of blue paint and varnish displays the true classic lines of a boat from a previous generation. It is, however, fair to say that, with the mechanical systems refurbished and as you would expect for a boat of this age, some restorative work is required to the cabin exterior and interior is required together with some hull nail replacement, all of which has been reflected in the reduced price.
With some imagination this motor launch could be converted into a very comfortable weekender.
Her original design requirement is why she is fitted with a much larger engine and comes complete with a towing post and bridle.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: This boat is priced to sell, sensible offers on the asking price may be considered.
