Sometimes the hard decision is making your problem someone else's problem, then finding more trouble to get into. Good luck Luke! Can't wait to see the new boat!

Best selling tour. The Webo is in great shape. You have a great memory for the workings of the boat. You'll be sad to leave her. I'm sure.

I live in southern Ohio and I don’t ever plan on moving… so thanks for convincing me I need a 40’ dead rise Luke. Now I’ll never be happy 😂

Lots of different brands of Chesapeake boats : Robbins, cotton Thomas, Riker, and my favorite is Carman. Fun to see all the differences

The two happiest days of a captains life? The day he buys his boat and the day he sells her. Good luck Luke, Webo is a solid boat and a real value for someone out there.

That is such a bullshit statement that's been around for too many years. One of my saddest days was selling my last boat because of medical reasons and I miss boating more than anyone could imagine . It's expensive but I regret nothing . Edit This statement is said mostly by people that have never owned a boat or could never even dream of being able to afford one . My last boat that I sold I had for 11 years and I sold it for more than I paid for it . And that was because of all the labor and love that I put into taking care of it and keeping it in pristine shape . There is hardly a day that goes by that I don't think about my boating days on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake .

Cant get enough of your channel. Keep up the great work!

I hope you find a good home for her 😊

Had no idea how shallow the area you harvest from area is in Bay...yada...wow...thanks for the education!

My brother had a 22ft 57 wood Owens, and he added more metal to the rutter. Without power stearing, he had a hard time turning the wheel. The next year, he cut it off and sold the boat, then bought a brand new 28ft, 12.5 ft beamed Hatteras in 1966. It was one of the smallest boats they ever made. It was fast but could spin around on a dime being twin screw. It was when they started converting over to fiberglass, and it was thick.

My cousin Wayne Eble had that boat for a lot of years. I’m sure he did well with it. Wish you luck Luke !

Your cousin Wayne was an amazing Capt .. we did many Tuna Trips on the Searcher ,.. also fished on Doris Mae for many years before we started doing Charters with Wayne.. He and Charlie are very much missed, and we speak of him often.. The Memories we made on those boats will never be forgotten.

This what true passion looks like! And really knowing your bars!

Ronnie Carman of Carman boats built me a 40ft deadrise glass over plywood. Fiberglassed the whole inside and outside. Had a 13 ft beam and I put a 3208/375 it. She'd cruise 19-20 knots all day and run top speed 22-23 knots depending on the tide.

I started watching your videos with the trip down from Barnegat. I had just made the same trip a rear prior with my Dad in a 32' Silverton. We went from Port Republic NJ to Skip Jack Cove in Georgetown. I love your videos Keep up the good hard work.

great video Luke. hope you have success in turning the boat over.

I hope the thinning of the "herd" works out well for you Luke. Good luck and blessings on the next adventure

The deeper parts of the bay are basically dead zones a lot of year. Due to the oxygen depletion from the farming run off. Even in my short 38 years I have seen how bad the bay has become. Thankfully the legislature is taking big steps to try to save it before it is unmanageable. We have a lot other rivers being restored to and some of the largest went from a D grade in water quality to B the last couple of years.

I look forward to your videos every week, bud. I buy a bunch of “crap” on Facebook as a hobby and try to fix it up for resale. Your videos are very informative. You should do a video on things to look for when buying a boat

You have really inspired me to mow lawns and do yard work and know I have a 16ft John boat and go and hang with my friends and go fishing in the creeks. Btw love the boats you have they are so cool. I hope she goes to a good home.

As someone that’s from the Dena area, it’s awesome to see a crabber from the Stoney creek/Severn River area! Great channel!

Sad to see it go but golllly you aren't lying that thing is a tremendous boat for what you're asking! Beautiful machine! Best of luck brother! Keep doing you! You're awesome!

So long Webo. I have zero doubt once you sell it. You will buy another. Addiction is addiction and its hard to pass on a great deal. Too bad im on the Pacific side of US. I know some captains out here that charter. That would love something like this. You stay safe out there Luke

The amount of knowledge your dropping on me is amazing I’m glad I found your channel

I love to watch you! Keep on going bro!

You always have such great videos 👍

i live in Dallas TX and your making me feel like I need to buy this boat lol good luck with the sale and hope it goes to someone who will appreciate it!!

What an awesome educational video!! You are the man!... but, I have a Flying Scot sailboat that will pop up on plane like nothing you've seen aside from maybe the new foils? One more thing, that's what I love about Lyndsey, she's "Luke Proof!" Your banter is like no other! Thanks for all of it!!!👊

Luke ( if it's OK to call you that) I just want to know how much I enjoy your Chanel and adventures. I grew up working on the water and have been in and out of it most of my life. I have some stories I think ud enjoy too. Any how the only aspect of the business I never did was having a seafood stand like you have. In old now and really am considering trying to open one In Richmond Virginia. You are what inspired me to do it too. Thanks for the ideas and may try to contact you for some brain picking down the trail !!

I’ve been watching your channel off and on for about six months now and I didn’t even realize that you had multiple different boats. I take that back. I did see the little dinghy that you put that diesel on. That was a great video. Hope you actually chewed some of that Copenhaven.

Sounds like you lived and learned. That wisdom is priceless.

Luke- You , Sir are a grinder! Truly a hard working young man. I like your videos taking us through life in your eyes. Keep The Passion High Bro!!!

Finally got to watching this video, Luke. I grew up on LBI and very familiar with Barnegat Light inlet! It’s a challenge! Great story here

Hey Luke I just bought my first deadrise an Oneil Jones Built boat. Planning to trotline and oyster dresge in her. Good luck this Season bubba were down here by hoopers island where we work.

great video, learned a lot. Former Solomons Island guy, so I have seen the deadrise boats and crabbers out.

Bow thruster in the bow would help turn faster 😊

That's awesome your friends with Chris fix.. that's pretty cool

Hey Luke! Great to see you again! Got a question for ya. When you have that many boats, isn't it your FLEET and you become Commander McFadden?

That boat was built by someone who not only cared but took pride in it along with love/respect for whoever commissioned the build and should garner $27,500 - $29,000 all day... Asking $25,000 is a steal honestly, tough and beautiful.

Nice pitch Admiral

In North Carolina a lot of the boats that commercial fisherman use are set up pretty similar to the webo! Solid boats I’ve been on shorter boats pulling oyster dredges and pulling anywhere from 800 to 1000 pots a day or every 2 days awesome vessels just not for shallow waters!

That definitely IS a nice boat Luke! You won't have any trouble selling it

The old wood boats are incredibly well built . That it was fiberglass inside and out is really awesome.

You should look into kinnamon boats they build them on tilghman Island. Obviously nobody makes a cheap boat nowadays but they built a few for us when I was working up there on the bay. you can't beat one of their boats. We had a 28 footer two 30 footers. The Brittany May was somewhere around 40 and then the last boat they did for us was a 46 by 14 called the little miss Emily. 6 pots wide between the gunwales. And we'd stack them 7 wide and 3 high on the roof. Cummins 450 in the dog box. There were no more days off due to rough seas when we started working that boat 😂. Jellyfish are the only thing I don't miss from those days. There's no better feeling than having to pull the boat into the travel lift slings with 100 bushels on the boat and water coming in the scuppers.

Luke, good luck on your sale. Have you looked at any boats built Down East (Harkers Island, NC). We have a lot of skinny water down here.

Plywood core and balsa core boats are two different animals. Webo is the stronger animal. I don’t think you’ll find much balsa wood on that beast. You, my man, are a beast also.

You need to be introduced to the Lafitte Skiff of South Louisiana.

Great looking boat!!

It has the turning radius of a "Peterbilt" had me crying😂 ! Had me thinking of my ole. 379 and song "Give me 40 Acres" and I'll turn this Rig around 😅

Seems like a great deal. Hope you find someone who can put her to good use.

When are we seeing the aluminum John boat again

As a Lucas myself, that “Luke Proof” comment hit me right where I live!!!

Best for sale commercial I have ever heard. I wish you well!

Good Luck with the sale. I packed a shit ton of Monkfish and Skate off her in BL

Luke I think you made a ( why I should not sell my webo). 😂

One of these days I'm gonna have to buy you lunch. My boat was on bodkin creek when I bought it. I live on rock creek now.

A Luke post early in the morning. Its going to be a good day!

I was surprised to find the webo's listing on fb marketplace a few days ago 😢

I had the pleasure of working with and learning a lot about the Chesapeake deadrise, from start to finish, with Joey who owns Sinapatuxent Boatworks in Snow Hill Md, out of 2 chicken houses. Which actually are pretty perfect to do it in. Which in comes in handy bcuz I’ve redone a floor in a 35’ Maycraft as well as many other repairs for friends and family. I’d much rather take and spend the money for a custom built “wooden plank” boat, than just going the cheaper route and buying something that’s a production model. I’ve found that that’s the ONLY way you’ll find your perfect boat.I’m 53 and I wished I had the space to build a smaller 16-18’ Chesapeake skiff outfitted the way I want. A person could build a boat like that in say 10-12 months comfortably, while working a regular 40 hr a week job. If properly taken care of, the boat could outlive the lifetime of the builder.

Wow… boats like that.. for the prices they are would be awesome over here in Australia to have and build as what we called. Bay cruiser… Now our bay cruisers are only about 8ft wide… I would love to have that boat to build. Out into a small house boat….

you'd absolutely love the boats were building down here in Cape Breton nova scotia!

I'll miss taking my kayak past the Webo.

That is a great deal for someone in the market for that style boat!!

If you added a keel (like on a sailboat) near the middle, it would turn perfectly well.

This is a commercial about selling your boat. Good Luck

I loved hearing all this knowledge

I’m a lobsterman from Maine but I did some scalloping in Barnaget light for some time

Finally! A cruise control that you can trust.

Sending love from uk 🇬🇧

As you say, great boat, just not quite for you but owning it seems like it has refined your ideas of what you really need, all in all a very solid and tidy boat that needs a loving home.

If you come to Florida I would love to take ya fishing!

Barnegat Inlet can be one of the most dangerous inlets around it has taken many lives including a friend of mine Hank Swaratski

Worth every bit for $25k! Safe season and happy crabbing!

Luke is a great kid !!

I’ve made that journey on a trawler. 12knot speed. Made for a long day and night to get there

I've taken my 19' renken out to block island, newport ,RI and long Island all the time to go scuba diving. It's not the size, it's the experience that makes you get thru.. I've been on the water since 17yrs old on that boat, I'm 47 now.. still have her and now a 24' Larson for the family.

turning, there are lots of fixers to that problem but thats it, they are "fixes" adding bow thrusters... the boat is an old girl, perfect for working in deeper waters. she'd be great on the lakes... she's just not a shallow water boat.

You’ve got a future in being an online boat broker 👍🏼 We all fall in love with our boats

I can some what say I have the same issue. I collect a lot of vintage chainsaws, and have started having to seel some of them off.

trust me with this. Watching this video you need to invest in some new extension cords. You need commercial grade extension cords and not weed eater cords for what you do....just saying, nothing smaller than 14 gauge and i would have all 12 gauge at least be marine grade cords. Big fan, looking forward to the season

Good luck Luke I hope you sell her.

So I have a shellfish allergy... you've just sent me down a. monkfish (poor mans lobster) rabbit hole. Thank you!

25 racks for such a stout vessel IN THIS ECONOMY!?!?!? luke you got that thing priced to MOVE! love to see you flourish and prosper my guy!

You are a genius!

kudos to a savvy waterman

What do you think about using that boat as oystering clamming even deep sea fishing

Bought a boat without considering draft and the avg depth to be fished? Stunning.
