If it doesn't go for a song, someone's getting railroaded. Those pictures look yeesh to say the least. On the other hand, a patient person could turn Shilo into a real prize if she went for little.

Has anyone heard from SkipperT, he was looking for a cheap boat to work on!
Just a note, this is #129 Hull # JJT081290575, thus a 1975 not a 1976 as they state.  It is on the contessa list as looking for a new home.

There is another boat, Cobra in BC Canada that is up for sale, 1982, I believe $18,000CAD.

Re: JJT Contessa on Ebay...

Well, #129 was sold on ebay after 14 bid (half by one person) for $1,550 to a 228samuel.  Too bad we can not get their e-mail address so we can get him on line so when he rebuilds her, we can give advise when requested.

Re: JJT Contessa on Ebay...

Sent him an email letting him know about this site and the forum...

Re: JJT Contessa on Ebay...

No sails, engine?, mast looks rough.  Hull will be mostly undamaged (1/4 thk.)  Needs a good clean up and fixing of the problems that every other boat of that era has and she'll be a sweet little boat again.  Someone's got lots of work ahead of them.  (This coming from me......)
