The implications of someone who is going to rebuild a boat...finds an s.driver an happily says..hammer!! Its the kind of humor that gets me too..😂

Hahahaha that’s me! My father and I delivered the boat for him! Hopefully when your done we can pick it up again for ya for its final placement

That poor beauty sat half underwater for over a year it’s super nice to see him cleaning it up I really hope he does go crabbing out of it once again it would be such a sight to see

Very cool! I commented on the last video you all had the super trailer and figured he would need something like that to move the boat to Glen Burnie (at the least). I'll have to stop down and bother your father one day soon. I know it's been a while, but I still want those compasses for the race boat. 😊😊

@@StraightothePointNews Didn't he say he's making it into a crab shack?

Even all dilapidated, dirty crusty, rotted and wasted, that is one of the most beautiful boats I have ever seen! Even on the hard, she looks great. The lines and shape of the hull above and below the water line is a work of art. Plus, the shear line is perfect. Then you add that properly proportioned foredeck cabin and house onto that. Stunning. That boat is the perfect form for your crab shack. I hope you’re able to keep every bit of its good looks by the time you’ve converted it to your store. That is a big big boat that does lot look big until your standing in it.

Luke all your hard work will pay off. Can't wait to see the old boat when your done with making into your crab stand

we will show up

Had me smiling through the whole vid. After two months I am almost finished simply cleaning a 1996 Albin 32 that has been sitting on the hard since 2007. Everything was functional when mothballed. Got my doubts now but the appearance has come back remarkably well. Boat work that you think will take two weeks always takes two months. Non boaters don't understand.

Why is this not a weekly show on tv? Why hasn’t a network picked this guy up yet???

Well I think he's a crabber first. Likely going bigger than what he's at would take away from the crabbing. My guess. But I like your though process. He's very entertaining. I could be partial though as I have family on Kent Island and grew up in and around Annapolis.

My step dad had an old Chris-Craft Boat (30ft cabin cruiser) & it was pulled out every winter on the Anacostia River down in Southeast Washington, D.C. So in 1971 I started going down there each spring to look for soft spots, cut out the bottom, and repair the holes before painting it for the water. I was 9yrs old in 71 & that was some tough work, really hot/hard work and I forgot the fun part of scraping the bottom too.....lmao, summers I'll never forget !! good luck

I just admire your determination. Can't wait to see your project finished.

East Coast fisherman tools & techniques are exactly the same on the West Coast! We have spent 20 years on tugs and fishboats with the same high qualty and exceptional safety practices!! Very enjoyable! Keep it up!! Crew of Schooner Kiva Vancouver Island, BC 🇨🇦

Luke - Love the content! Word to the wise, go easy on your body for longevity. Jumping off the boat that is 6'+ in the air is a young mans game. Take it from a 40yr old. Go easy sir!

This was my exact thought when I saw him jump from that height. I'm only 38 and I still wouldn't jump from that height if the sonofabitch was on fire. Then suddenly I remembered those guys jumping off the Deepwater Horizon (in the movie at least) and thought "oh hell no I'll just stay on land"....

You scraping the barnacles and sanding reminds me of my childhood growing up working on all the wood boats in the boatyard my Dad ran. I have no doubt that is going to be one spectacular crab stand.

Apparently logger and crabbers have alot in common.

When you sanded that little block I found myself squinting and leaning back away from the phone😂.

Luke , Your optimism and work ethic is beyond amazing. I missed out on meeting you at the Eastern Outdoors Show but I'm looking forward to stopping by to buy crabs this summer. Good luck with that project saving that old girl.

Very smart. You end up with a cool piece of history, preserving it for a while longer by re-purposing it to assist on the retail side. Good luck!

Would be so cool seeing this boat working the upper bay! Like you said, a classic. Coolest project ever!

I haven’t had a boat for 30 years but I remember the labor of love🤪👍. I admire your creativity and drive👍😉🤪🦽😊

You are a remarkable young man. I don’t know you but I’m very proud to see a young man who is such a working man and honest! Thank you for allowing us to see you at work . I look forward to each video and the magic you invent and do. From Oregon

Bring back memories working at Whitehall Yacht Yard in 1973. Loved the smell of power washing the bottoms. Right on 🎉great video. See you in August.

A pressure treated deck would look great in there. I know it's a bit more than plywood BUT it would look great.

Boat looks to dang good!!! That's gonna be so nice to buy crabs from a old crab boat ! Awesome video

I loved this classic boat the moment I saw it! It’s going to look amazing when you’re finished and you bought it for a song!

Love seeing the progress keep us updated

Feels crazy to say, given the condition, but that really is a nice looking boat. The shot at the end showing how the lines kind of swoop from bow to stern - would love to have seen her out there in her glory days.

Luke, Great job in moving this project closer to reality. Don’t it seem like any task a persons undertakes there’s always much more work and costs then anticipated. You are one tough guy sweating this out. Good job!

This video is incredible so far. Its at the point where you have removed the deck and discovering the shells and trash underneath.

Best video yet!! great fun to watch!! Thanks for posting and you are doing a GREAT job!!

Absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see the final product

Just started following this channel. Love it. Thank you for sharing

Can't wait to see the rest of the build Great video - going to look great when it's done

This was a great video. I'm actually learning new things about these work boats.

Luke! Best video ever! Thanks for bringing us along!!!

Awesome project, looking forward to its completion

Incredible video Lukester!!! I'm so glad to see you spreading the good and great history and info on the crabbing industry. This project is one I'm totally jealous of, my whole life has been doing repairs and rebuilding pretty much anything you can imagine, and I can already see how cool this is going to be brother! Keep up the great work, keep us all posted, and we will keep up the support wherever we can! Love ya brother waterman!!! :)

What a beautiful piece of history! Loving learning about these boats man! 🤙🏻

Way to go! I love this stuff.

I’m helping rebuilding an old wooden timber 55 foot shrimp boat in Harkers Island North Carolina. The folks that run the railway(if you don’t know, a railway is a set of railroad tracks that goes in the water to pull large wooden ships out of the water to work on them) out there used to build some big old wooden shrimp boats 90 footers. So I commend you on your endeavor. Also, we do deliveries. I just delivered a boat up to the Chesapeake.

Love the the cleanup commentary. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Excited to see the finish product Doing a great job so far Luke

What a beautiful boat. Love the lines.

Can’t wait to see this come into final shape!

Love the content, very informative.

Can't wait to see you work on this project looks like a cool old boat

I’m ready to see it when it’s done man grate job

hands down the most impressive thing about this video - that full ass to grass squat you are just comfortably in when you're fishing in the bilge... that was so impressive!

Thank you for showing and sharing! You are so much fun to watch in your adventures! Your outlook and positive perspective are second to none! If I was there I would show up and help you!

Loving all the crazy ideas!! Keep it coming!

I grew up at what is today Down's Park, in the '60's & 70's. We had giant oyster beds right out front and at winter low tide I'd harvest a bushel of cherrystone clams in no time right on the beach. It breaks my heart to see you pulling pots and getting 1's & 2's. We'd have a good dozen or more per pot every pull. For fun I'd take a 12' aluminum boat with a 2500' trot line over to Eastern Bay and get 5 bushels of giant blue crabs in under 2 hours work. Salted eel for bait. Can't beat it. At night we'd scoop blue crabs off the top of the water in the Kent Narrows. We called it "crabbing in the air conditioning" because it's cool at night. That boat yard you're in was called Buster's back in the day. Our property ran right up to it. Those woods in the background of your video are (were) part of our property. So happy to see you making something of what the Bay has to offer. It may be depleted but it's not gone. Maybe one day people in Baltimore will stop changing motor oil by pulling the car up over a storm drain. They did it all the time back then and I'm sure they do it today. They just don't care. Keep up the great work and keep these videos coming. It entertains us old people more than you'll ever know. Thank you!

Love this… looking forward to this build - thanks!

This is freaking awesome ! Keep up the good work .

Interesting concept , Luke, I do like your videos , your attitude is fresh, your not afraid to,take on a challenge, go,for it ,

Beautiful classic boat! Love it!

The video I’ve been waiting for. I keep driving by your lot hoping to see it there.

Bro thank you for the regular uploads and long form videos keep it up

Glad to see yall made it back home! Lando seemed the most pumped to be back!

Super excited to see the transformation, waiting on the next video!

Great progress skipper!

you have an amazing work ethic. I really enjoy your content!

Great video keep them coming

What a great video...I can't wait to see the finished product!!! You must have a good relationship with the owner of the blue fiberglass boat next store...if that was my baby, she'd have a tarp over it, during the construction phase!!! Good luck and I'll be watching....thanks Luke!!!

Excellent video! I enjoy old boats too and it actually looks like fun (I know its not). Very interesting, I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

I could watch these types of videos all day no nonsense in the video no false personally for the camera just old fashioned learning while a dude is living his dream

The console behind the cabin is mainly a thing for boats up in that part of the bay

Incredible how clean u got the bilge at the end 1000% difference from start to finish

Another awesome video Luke, don't have those kind of boats here in south Texas your video is great I will be following your work.

Cant wait to see the progression of the boat build indeed.will always support the local waterman,hardest workers around.

No commercial fishing boat should be without some Dawn...LOL. Damn i miss working on these old boats

That adjustable trailer is really wild!

Dawn is for pouring on bilge water to degrease it before running your bilge pump.

I'm excited to see what you come up with

New to the channel. Watched a ton of your "short" or reels. Love your stuff. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see more.

Oh no he took a whiff of the bilge bucket! I remember cleaning the village in my boat when I got it a few years ago and that was no fun, it's only in 18-footer fishing boat. You got you a project on your hands! Thanks for the great video

Cant wait to see this finished

Good luck! Good vid. I’ll keep watching

I love how you can think of a reason to keep EVERYTHING! 😂👍🏻👍🏻

Being a Maryland guy, specifically a Magothy River guy, who moved to Missouri I miss the smell of scraping barnacles. Cannot wait to visit his crab stand in Oct during my travels.

as go fast boater its great to see your love of boating on the other side of boating good luck from branford ct at branford landing in ct

Just discovered your video. Dying to see the boat finished. I'll have to keep watching. Best wishes from Yorkshire, U K.

Love this type of video!

Luke is an absolute classic, every tool is a “hammer” or “bilge hammer” and “literally dangerous to be safe” such a character

Luke, you've got your work cut out for you... I know you got this, stick with it and your dream will be reality💪

So refreshing to see a KZreadr who knows the difference between “bought” and “brought”! Well done!

You’re headed to the Crabbernomic Hall of Fame. Carry on.

Really impressive cleaning job! Wow!

Super amazing! Love the old lady, she is one looking boat!

It was great hearing John talk about the construction of a dead rise! Very interesting

Best vid you have shared since you pulled the new crab shack boat home. I love it when you tell us what the bits of a boat and your trade really mean. Great content. Keep up the good work. Supper excited to watch the "restoration" and conversion to a crab shack.

will be great when done ! great idea, there is a boat bar down in deale its awesome, also shirts look great

Beautiful boat. Love the lines.

Making progress can't wait to it completely put up

Here is my two cents on treating the inside. I would buy 5 gallons of Woodlife Classic and the same of Dalys Ship n Shore. After power washing, let it try and then use one of those portable pump-up pressure sprayer and apply the Woodlife in two coats with a day in between. I would have a helper bursh it around behind you. This helps the wood resist microbes, and other nasty stuff. Then after it dries over a week or two and you have a warm day where the hull is warm in the sun, in the afternoon....apply the Ship n shore oil in two coats. Use a bit of terps to thin it more. As the boat cools overnight it should pull the oil in a bit. The approach will preserve the wood as much as possible while letting it breath which is your best friend. before the outside paint stage obviously

I love your channel.You crack me up.

@9:20 LMFAO!!!! 😂😂 I saw this coming, pretty sure it's a setup, but it's still funny as hell.

Keep up the good work man you’re doing amazing ❤😂

This is awesome Luke can't wait to see more videos on this Adventure please don't let us miss one thing about this journey that you're on turning the boat into a crab stand I know it's going to be awesome when it's complete

This bilge is quite something, especially the DIY electrics. Great little video.
