This is a great part of OMC racing history.

I got the two letters from Dieter Schulze in Austria from my old friend Bo Nilsson in Sweden.
Its the purchase order for a brand new SE class Schulze Hydro Cat built for a Johnson 60 HP.
The cost in Swedish krona was 7,904.00..around $875.00 US.
Yes, Bo tested the boat at Dieters place with his own engine.
Bo was extremely successful with this Schulze/Johnson during the 1972 season.
Well..1973 another Swede ordered a Clerici SE cat and that changed everything.
The third picture is Bo’s Schulze at the Stockholm boat show early 1974. You can see the Johnson poster when OMC won Paris 6 hours 1973 with the first V6.
Thanks for the letters Bo.
