1979 Squire Shop
Unlimited Hydroplane Restoration Project

"Vintage" Video Gallery

On this page, you will have a chance to experience the sights, sounds, fashions, and atmosphere from the late 70's.........Squire Shop style.

Courtesy of Bob Steil himself, the team and I tracked down a "old school" BetaMax player and digitally transferred over Bob's archived videos. The quality is pretty good for its age, and you'll see footage you've never seen before. Bob deserves all the credit here, as it is because of him we have these rare gems for everyone to enjoy!

Such as the 1979 Norberg hull being built originally, highlights from the 1980 Seafair race, the 1979 hulls "christening", and a few surprises.

Definitely worth a look...
