    It's finally time to start working on the sinking boat that I'm turning into a crab stand, but it's a lot worse than I thought. Luckily this boat will never be back in the water, because you can see sunlight through the floor in multiple places. I ripped up the floor and found a bunch of treasures from years of use. This boat is going to make an awesome crab stand; I just have to get past a bunch of the hold-ups.

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. 😊😊

    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

    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.

    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.

So I commend you on your endeavor. Also, we do deliveries. I just delivered a boat up to the Chesapeake.

    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!

    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
