Gotta love free boats, they're the only way we can afford the fortune it costs owning them. Just finished turning an old, abandoned sailboat into a crabbing boat for the summer and not sure why everyone is not doing it! small sailboats can be found for free all over the place especially if they don't have a mast, but they make great motoring boats with nicer than average cabins. Dropping her in the Sasafrass Labor Day weekend for the first time she has seen water since 1991. See you out there Luke! Give me crabs or give me death!!

Great job guys. It’s nice to see the younger generation actually do some work. You will do well and since you guys seem to get along when working there was no bickering, awesome. Keep up the good work. Uncle Scott

Luke is the Macgyver of the Maryland crabbing community.

Great work! Now you have a skiff for beer runs to keep the crab boat at sea longer. :D

Most of the boats I’ve worked on have been on the bottom at one time in their lives. In fact the Carol Ann was nicknamed the sub 😂✌️🇬🇧

Knowing you, you'll figure out a way to turn the boat into something that can make you money in the off season when you're not crabbin. Awesome pickup.

I have watched a few of you videos before and enjoyed. But this one is my favorite. And I am officially a new subscriber. Keep doing what you are doing, very inspiring. I am glad to know there are people like you left. Gives me some hope.

A stylish man! And all your crews make it transpire! Best wishes

Heard it from boat designer Jeff Spira RIP… best bilge pump is a scared man with a 5 gallon bucket

You did a great job! Way to go, and hope you’re still enjoying your new boat!

Stick welding aluminum is such a pain, JB weld is your friend :)

Nice find of a free boat... Good luck with it. I would fix it up too. I would love the same opportunity some day... Congrats 👏

That captures my feelings exactly. 😊. Most excellent find

Job well done.👍 And you scored yourself a boat 🛥 Nice!👋

Captain Luke, you made the Washington Post this morning! Photos and a few paragraphs done by Carolyn Van Houten. The article is called A capital summer. One photo has this caption “Crabs are a creature about as stubborn as the people catching them,” McFadden said as he sorted them.

Need to create a twin or quad pontoon boat that uses those fully retractable ladders to adjust the width between the pontoons for recovering sunken small boats.

Cavitation is when the prop creates a vacuum behind it and it reduces the boiling point of water behind it enough to form vapor, which is very loud. Being air bound is something different.

J B Weld the rest

"self clearance" going in the book!

I need a deal like that! What a great boat...FREE, theres no such thing! Hope you guys have a blast on it!

A motor sitting in the bottom underwater. It fills with saltwater. Its amazing it started. I pulled a motor off a newly sunken boat to try to save the motor. It was totally effed. Corrosion begins immediately. The wire connections fail. Be careful with that motor or you'll find yourself stranded

You just continue to amaze me. Thank you for the awesome videos and teaching me how to engineer things with what you have around. I have a small farm and engineering is what we do. ❤❤❤

You sure your last name isn't Mcgyver (Macgyver)? You're always Macgyvering stuff. And it usually works. Lol😂

I love your sarcasm and sense of humor. You make me laugh.

I miss the Chesapeake Bay so much and all the Waterman that I befriended over the years. They are hard-working unusually hard partying group of guys. And I have found any problems that they bump into they can solve one way or the other. I was across the bay and a little bit below you guys on the Eastern Shore for almost 30 years . Take care and thanks for the video I really enjoyed it

Awesome! Well done! I was smiling all through this video!

congratulations, what a great job recovering the boat

You guys need to make large floats , how we lift rock when searching for gold, lift the boat right up.

A couple of big inner tubes tied to it, with air hoses attached, then turn on the compressor and bring it up to the point that you can pump it out. He didn't need to try and lift it with a winch.

Always remember, "safety third."

Thats amazing the motor still runs Good job

Love your energy.

Those Yamaha's motor are beast, built to last. That's all I use for my boat are Yamaha and Suzuki's

There are bound to be some Yamaha lower units available at local shops or boat salvage lots to replace the broken repaired one. Once the fuel system is cleared of water you should be good to go. Cool video.

With all the young guys there, they had to make an old man jump in the cold water..👏👏👏 bravo

Great job man nice work💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I raised a sunken sailboat. I waited for high tide, tied a cable to a piling on one side of the boat abd ran the cable under tge boat up to a piling on the other side using a cumalong to take up the slack. When the tide went out the boat came up. I then used a rental trash water pump to get the water out. Free boat.

Nice welding job you guys! Yep time to go to the bar🍺🍻🍹😜bottoms up! Cheers🦀

Now that you are in the marine salvage business, you could convert that boat into a tow boat, and pull people back in that run out of fuel or have a mechanical issue and need a tow back to the marina or their dock. Then you could branch out with a larger boat with a derrick to swing a pump onto the deck of a boat that is sitting on the bottom but the deck is still above water.

I wanna move to the south so bad after watching this, helped a neighbor and got a free boat out of it

LOVE IT SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU 🥰
