Broker's Comments

An excellent example of a much loved and cared for, one owner from new DALE NELSON 38 aft cabin motor cruiser. Just released for sale having completed a 650mile final summer cruise with her owners from her base in Plymouth to the North and West French coasts. This boat was built by the highly regarded Dale Nelson in 2003 and is incredibly well equipped with numerous special features and modifications, which can be seen in the photographs.This is the first 38 to become available to the market for some time and represents a rare opportunity to buy a genuine Dale Nelson and experience and enjoy the legendary sea-keeping and the very best of craftsmanship for which DALE has become renowned.
