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!!
I done bailed out a 34ft skiff with a 5gallon bucket real talk didn't take long either but had my back killing me that day I went help a friend his skiff sunk an I did that by my self told him to sit back an watch me work 😂😂😂 he was old man
@@dirtybootsfishing2923 me to or 3 Maine lobster boats and I've lost count of lobsters skiffs under 20 foot. either way you put two three guys on a boat with buckets or plastic shrimp shovels you can move some water, yes you'll feel it next-day
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
It's a Most wonderful thing is to see a bunch of young millennials benefit from good old Hard WORK! And the risk reward of where there's a will there's a way! 👍😁
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 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
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.
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. ❤❤❤
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.
Saw this on a youtube short, got interested, came to this video, this guy mentioned electrolysis and cavitation and I was like wow he's really smart I'm gonna look those things up. Just got back from a 2 hour deep dive on quantum mechanics and entanglement after steadily traversing further and further into complicated physics topics. Thanks Luke
@@egomaniac247 I suspect he’s got a bunch of scripts and video that he puts aside for when in need. He just forgot he used that on3 before. It was a repeat. I found the o5her one. The guy is burning a both ends. We’ll let it slid this once, once! Lol
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.
JB weld it works on everything metal , you just mix it up and then just spread it out on the repair you need and let it set up for 24 hrs and just grind it off and paint it ;;
Congratulations on getting your new free sunken boat that you're working your ass off to get it running . Hey whatever is clever you still got yourself à running boat .
If something like that ever happens again, just take out the plugs spray no, soak the cylenders with WD-40 and turn the motor over three times and go get a pop. every day for the next week at the same time each day turn it over three times. If it dries out before the fifth day squirt some more in there. Not as much as the first time but, some. Continue for 2 more days then, new plugs and wires. Almost forgot, Need to change All Oils and Filters! Get Going, nobody else is gonna do it.
Seems you arc welded the lower, isnt aluminum supposed to be heli-arced?, when i was a kid i took a welding class and tried stick welding aluminum it acted more like a cutting torch lol, may have been the amperage to hot, I did successfully weld some aluminum with a tig welder, but thats for tiny welds
Wake up in the morning and the lights hurt your head. The first thing you do when you get up outta bed. Hit the streets runnin as you try to beat the masses and go get yourself some...
Don’t know how this was recommended to me but watching young men troubleshooting and fixing broke stuff makes my day.
Men doing men things.
Genius rescue. If only McHale's Navy and Gilligan's Island knew you around you could have saved all these sailors!

Brother. Don't ask for crabs. Lmao
so many people underestimate the power of baling with a 5 gallon bucket
I done bailed out a 34ft skiff with a 5gallon bucket real talk didn't take long either but had my back killing me that day I went help a friend his skiff sunk an I did that by my self told him to sit back an watch me work 😂😂😂 he was old man

I know you can get a whole 5 gallons out at a time.
A paddle can bail out alot of water too lol!!!
@@streamin2605 I've never been in a situation where I needed a paddle to bail water. I'll keep that one in mind, use what you got when needed
The 2 happiest days of my boating life... when I bought it and when I sold it
Agreed.. . But my wife was far more pleased than I. . .

Whoever filmed this in portrait needs jail time
No wonder it wouldn’t cast to my tv
Agreed! Vertical video should be illegal.
To be viewed on the phone
@ryanhernandez2414 phone and or TV is shit mate. Works for me and my partner.
For what?
Great work! Now you have a skiff for beer runs to keep the crab boat at sea longer. :D
Heard it from boat designer Jeff Spira RIP… best bilge pump is a scared man with a 5 gallon bucket
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.
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 😂✌️🇬🇧
A stylish man! And all your crews make it transpire! Best wishes
You did a great job! Way to go, and hope you’re still enjoying your new boat!
I need a deal like that! What a great boat...FREE, theres no such thing! Hope you guys have a blast on it!

I love your sarcasm and sense of humor. You make me laugh.
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 👏
Job well done.👍
And you scored yourself a boat 🛥
Nice!👋
You sure your last name isn't Mcgyver (Macgyver)? You're always Macgyvering stuff. And it usually works. Lol😂
Hahaha this is the same kid who made videos about making sketchy boat accessories and now he makes sketchy boats. Perfect!
Stick welding aluminum is such a pain, JB weld is your friend :)
That captures my feelings exactly. 😊. Most excellent find
I wanna move to the south so bad after watching this, helped a neighbor and got a free boat out of it

"self clearance" going in the book!

When the tide went out the boat came up. I then used a rental trash water pump to get the water out. Free boat.
Nothing more expensive than a free boat…..
The very definition of "free is too much" 😂
If you were my son, i would be very proud of you. Smart you are, young man.👍
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 guys need to make large floats , how we lift rock when searching for gold, lift the boat right up.

@1:25 you need the untangler🔪 ?
@1:32 cant tie a knot, tie a lot.
😂😂😂
It writes itself
One of the best videos i have yet to see ever on you tube. Nice boat bro!

I never owned a boat. But I always heard. The best days of owning a boat is the day you buy it and then the day you sell it
Isn’t this repeat. I swear I seen this video before on this channel. Hey, I’m not complaining, I liked it the first time and I like it this this too.
Was gonna say the same, for sure I’ve seen this before. If for no other reason I remember “I got a plan….not a good one” 😂

With all the young guys there, they had to make an old man jump in the cold water..👏👏👏 bravo
" If you can't tie a knot...tie alot"...LOL...my boss used to say that
Nice welding job you guys! Yep time to go to the bar🍺🍻🍹😜bottoms up! Cheers🦀
I appreciate you, Capt. Thanks for the content and believe it or not the education. 🤟😎
Awesome! Well done! I was smiling all through this video!
Luke, having been a welder for 25 years, I can attest how much of a pain in the a$$ aluminum rods are. You done pretty good kid! Much love from NC🤙🤙
I have a spool gun for that welding or a tig. Never in 50yrs have I used a stick lol I have used a torch back in the day.
5 gallons at a time boy, that's the way ya get things down. Way ta go.
Oh, a buddy-fuel pump, full on beer, squeezing the bulb so that everyone can get home, something I can relate)))

I got a free boat and jet ski, restoring the boat and cleaning the ski. Little hard work and determination go a long way.
water must have gone into the cylinders through the exhaust pipe..
Those Yamaha's motor are beast, built to last. That's all I use for my boat are Yamaha and Suzuki's
I'm Impressed! Let me know if Lindsey is coming up Stoney Creek and I'll wave.
7:28 - Always heard you should "check" your trailer tires. You're all set now!
congratulations, what a great job recovering the boat
Thats amazing the motor still runs
Good job
Nice to see teamwork pays off 😊
Everything and more that you could expect from a free sunken boat
Love the videos man !!!
Have to appreciate this young man. Great attitude
Determination, hardwork, persistence is the key!

I like your style kid .
Cavitation is way more complicated than that bud, love the content and keep up the good work.
It’s nice seeing the assembly of shorts videos
Good job, nice recovery.
Não adianta remendar o alumínio oxicidou, tem que trocar a quilha!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
why can't I ever have shit like this fall into my lap hahahaha
Loved the content. Can't believe you got it for free! New Sub. Yeww 🤙🏻
The million dollar question… what’s cheaper, a free boat or cheap boat?
Good job Captain Luke!!
Great job man nice work💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Hell yeah bumpin some Berner!
Hats off to you and crew
J B Weld the rest
THANKIOU❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great work! Congrats on boat ownership. --from Coeur d Alene--
The propeller causes low pressure which causes the water around the propeller edge to boil and it turns into water vapor.
He probably knows that, but he was introducing A LOT of air bubbles in front of the prop with the broken lower housing/exhaust manifold.
Great job buddy!!!
Way to go guys !
Seems like you had the perfect crew for the perfect project good job guys it looks like a lot of fun😊
Those are real friends 😊
Depends on if it was fresh water and how long it was under.
Sweet Eng
A free boat🙄. I am so bloody jealous👌🍷👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
That cover in the middle of the road was to a thermal king v 300 I do believe
Great recovery an repair
LOVE IT SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU 🥰
