Which hold value best
Share of asking price lost for each year of age. Shorter is better. The tick marks the same type of boat from other builders. Models need 20 boats across six build years, and a consistent fit, to be ranked.
No Nelson model has 20 boats across six build years yet, so none can be ranked. None has 10 boats yet.

Questions about Nelson prices
How much does a used Nelson cost?
A used Nelson asks a median of £72,000 across 18 boats listed since Aug 2020, in today's prices. The middle half ask between £40,500 and £110,000. These are asking prices, not sold prices.
Does a Nelson hold its value?
We don't publish a rate for Nelson yet. We rate a range once 20 boats across six build years of the same models have been seen. We have 17 Nelson motor boats across 11 build years so far. Motor boats from other builders lose about 5.9% a year of age; that is the nearest figure we publish, not Nelson's own.
Why is a Nelson model missing a price?
We publish a model once five boats have been listed. 4 models are listed above with their count so far, including the Nelson 38, the Nelson 28 and the Nelson 44, and will get a published figure when they reach five.
