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.

Why do I still laugh everytime he holds up a screwdriver and says "hammer"
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. 😊😊
@@finscreennamehahaha definitely well we’re always there come any time
@@StraightothePointNews Didn't he say he's making it into a crab shack?
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.
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!!

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
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.
I just admire your determination. Can't wait to see your project finished.
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.
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"....
Apparently logger and crabbers have alot in common.
And farmers
Mechanics and detailers to.
Just blue collar workers getting stuff done
I spent 20 years dredging and on tugboats now I’m a logger and can confirm this is true!

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!
I haven’t had a boat for 30 years but I remember the labor of love🤪👍. I admire your creativity and drive👍😉🤪🦽😊
Would be so cool seeing this boat working the upper bay!
Like you said, a classic.
Coolest project ever!
That trailer is freaking cool
It is a Hostar. Makes hauling sooo easy.
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.
On the west coast of Canada we use hose clamps to hold wires onto the battery terminals as an emergency fix :)
Boat looks to dang good!!! That's gonna be so nice to buy crabs from a old crab boat ! Awesome video
Fluke I watch a lot of stuff on RUclips but I really like what you do because you're such a go-getter and a young man good luck on life brother and keep doing what you're doing
Why is this not a weekly show on tv? Why hasn’t a network picked this guy up yet???
This video is incredible so far. Its at the point where you have removed the deck and discovering the shells and trash underneath.
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!
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!
A pressure treated deck would look great in there. I know it's a bit more than plywood BUT it would look great.
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.
That boat suspiciously looks like a boat my Grandfather Thomas Trevilian built in his backyard in Urbanna, Va. sometime around 1972.
That would be crazy
Got any pics of her back in the heyday?
It's not.
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!
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.
Can’t wait to see this come into final shape!
Love the the cleanup commentary. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
You’re headed to the Crabbernomic Hall of Fame. Carry on.
No commercial fishing boat should be without some Dawn...LOL. Damn i miss working on these old boats
That adjustable trailer is really wild!
The console behind the cabin is mainly a thing for boats up in that part of the bay
Luke is an absolute classic, every tool is a “hammer” or “bilge hammer” and “literally dangerous to be safe” such a character
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
Luke pulling the motor mount, "Oooo, that's some good steal, I think I'll keep that!!"
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 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!!!
What a beautiful piece of history! Loving learning about these boats man! 🤙🏻
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!
Luke, you've got your work cut out for you... I know you got this, stick with it and your dream will be reality💪
Love seeing the progress keep us updated
“Muddy and paint make her where she ain’t “ 22:34 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dawn is for pouring on bilge water to degrease it before running your bilge pump.
I absolutely lost it at the oily bucket of rocks.
I love how you can think of a reason to keep EVERYTHING! 😂👍🏻👍🏻
Interesting concept , Luke, I do like your videos , your attitude is fresh, your not afraid to,take on a challenge, go,for it ,
I’m ready to see it when it’s done man grate job
Absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see the final product
@9:20 LMFAO!!!! 😂😂 I saw this coming, pretty sure it's a setup, but it's still funny as hell.
So refreshing to see a RUclipsr who knows the difference between “bought” and “brought”! Well done!
What a beautiful boat. Love the lines.
Bro thank you for the regular uploads and long form videos keep it up
This was a great video. I'm actually learning new things about these work boats.
Luke! Best video ever! Thanks for bringing us along!!!
Excited to see the finish product
Doing a great job so far Luke
Worked on boats for 37 years , nice to see Luke having fun doing it ! It’s the only way . Great video !
Awesome project, looking forward to its completion
Best video yet!! great fun to watch!! Thanks for posting and you are doing a GREAT job!!
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
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!
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.
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
you have an amazing work ethic. I really enjoy your content!
I really like the long form content. Shorts are great for people who don't have time to edit long videos because they're working, but it groups them together with the fakers trying to make it look like they're doing hard work by not showing too much. As a wood boat owner myself with a dad who was a Long Island clammer, I think these videos prove that you're really out there doing it.
I am an Alaska commercial fisherman born and raised. In the early 90s my father and I built a coffee shop out of an old "k" boat. 32 foot wood gillnet boat built in the 50s-60s. Watching this brings back memories. Good to see young guns willing to take up the mantle of the commercial fisherman. Keep it up. I'm rooting for your success.
She ain’t gonna float no more 😮
🤣😂🤣
Strong little crabber 🦀
Can’t wait to see this progress hell I might even drive down from PA to visit when done!!!
Drive down from where in Pennsylvania I'm just curious I'm from PA also
@@n40tom just outside Philly
@jeffquintrell1963
Me too. Bucks County. Boated on the Chesapeake, Eastern Shore for 30 years. Upstate Pennsylvania now, in retirement. I miss the bay more than I could ever express . Take care
@@n40tom that’s nice I’m Montgomery county KOP.
Take care
Just discovered your video. Dying to see the boat finished. I'll have to keep watching. Best wishes from Yorkshire, U K.
Way to go! I love this stuff.
Super excited to see the transformation, waiting on the next video!
Glad to see yall made it back home! Lando seemed the most pumped to be back!
Incredible how clean u got the bilge at the end 1000% difference from start to finish
Loving all the crazy ideas!! Keep it coming!
Love this… looking forward to this build - thanks!
Can't wait to see you work on this project looks like a cool old boat
Cant wait to see the progression of the boat build indeed.will always support the local waterman,hardest workers around.
Love the content, very informative.
Great progress skipper!
This is a genuinely great idea, first for your business but also for the channel.
Beautiful classic boat! Love it!
The video I’ve been waiting for. I keep driving by your lot hoping to see it there.
This is freaking awesome ! Keep up the good work .
Just killer. I’m a sucker for old boat stuff. Restoration, repurposing, or reimagining; it’s all awesome.
That boat all gussied up would make a great addition to the Southern Girl Seafood and Bar restaurant. Turn it into a buffet or seomething.
I'm excited to see what you come up with
This bilge is quite something, especially the DIY electrics. Great little video.
Now I gotta drive all the way from the west coast to come buy something at your crab stand when it's done.
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
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!
Well done Luke, this is what owning a boat is all about.
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
Great video keep them coming
15:55 That's some free ballast right there. No need to buy lead or cement. Saving money already.😁
