    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.

  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

A beauty for sure.Does she have heat and a/c?
I might have missed them in the description...and you have taken great care of this boat.
Wow!
 
Hi 3blade single,

Very much appreciate the kind words.

Nellie D. has two heating systems but no permanent A/C!

Some of the LNVT 37's have owner installed air conditioning (it wasn't a factory option) - usually two units - one placed under the L shaped settee in the saloon, and another placed under the v berth forward, or in the forward storage closet. The LNVT forum (https://lnvt.groups.io/g/tugs ) has more info.

Even though we live in MD and FL, we spend much of our cruising time in cooler weather, or at anchor, so permanent A/C hasn't been a priority for us so far.

We do have a lightweight portable A/C unit aboard for the saloon which fits snugly between the settee and the washer/dryer door. It vents outside via a a custom plexiglass window insert.

Heat on Nellie D. is either 5000 BTU diesel heater in the lazarette (New 9/19) The unit is very quiet at anchor and uses diesel from the main tanks. There is also hydronic heat in salon (used when underway) which works via forced-air through a hot-water-coil.

Hope that helps!
John

The description and video of Nellie is arguably among the best I've seen. Just a terrific presentation. We've watched several times. Well done.
 
A seriously desirable boat, excellent presentation.(slightly depressing really)

I thought the same thing as I ambled through. Description was well written and flowed well. Good example of how to sell a boat.

Good luck

:thumb::thumb: Great presentation.

Those davit are HEAVY. I used to be able to dismount and mount them, alone. Not any more.
 
Welcome to Trawler Forum. Beautiful boat , well equipped, nice presentation. These are one of my favorite boats . The previous owner of our boat owns a Lord Nelson hull number 68, I think“ John William”. Good luck with the sale.

Agree. You can climb all over them and they don't budge. Simpson 175's. We had them installed at Philbrooks Boatyard in Sidney BC before departing for a cruise to Alaska. They really came in handy.

Here is a short video of my brother Dave launching and recovering the dink
 
Marty,

Thanks for the welcome. 'John William" is another nice LNVT. We know the owner and will pass along your regards next time we see him.

Very nice boat. I love the high bow and shear line of Lord Nelsons. I'm sure you'll get lots of inquiries.
 
If the picture are as good as it is in reality, this is the cleanest 1987 boat I have ever seen. Love the gorgeous woodwork and design. All it needs is AC.
 
WOW, absolutely Bristol, 4.0 condition. I love that the teak decks are natural. The bronze hand pumps in the galley takes me back to the classic yachts of yesteryears.

An excellent video Done on this 37’ Lord Nelson. Professional.

This boat is set up so well and designed for efficiency with the hull and a Cummins 4BT diesel to turn the prop. That is efficient.
I love the design and the interior. Thinking...
