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.

I found this picture. Bo Nilsson is running his Schulze/Johnson 65 and the other boat is a Craycraft with the new Merc 65 3 cyl.
The year is 1972

An early outboard powered Coronet Explorer was the first outboard powered craft to cross the Atlantic. The trip was made in July 1958, with the
redoutable Jim Wynne at the helm. Power was a pair of Johnson fat fifties.

what gearbox is that?

Not sure, probably some aftermarket. Does not look like an early SST 45 gearcase.
