This boat wasn't selling on Facebook Marketplace and was headed for the scrap yard! Lucky for me I bought it right in time. This isn't just any boat, this was the first powered boat that I owned. I ended up buying it back for $600, even though it's only worth maybe $400 in scrap metal. I decided to take my wife and friends on the first ride since I've owned it again! Hopefully we don't sink it, because there are visible holes all through it.

Wish the older generations would invest in younger generations, like selling a scrap boat for scrap prices to help a kid out, rather than hustle him.
For real. What a bad person that seller is... 😡
Maybe other generations shouldn't expect a handout or giving something free
@@robertlawler1387 if the seller considers it scrap, he should be able to part for it for scrap price. That would have been the decent thing to do. Instead he hustled someone. I remember hearing about times when Americans wanted to help the next generation, now it's all greed.
I wouldn’t have baught it for even 400 I ain’t that dumb
I agree. I saw a kid about 12 years old that collects scrap for money and when I saw him passing, I stopped him and got some scrap wire and some copper I had been saving back to help him out. More adults need to be supportive of kids doing things that aren't harmful to anyone.
I found the easiest way to search for leaks in a jon boat is to put it on a trailer and fill the boat up with water. Easier to find the wholes on the outside than inside sometimes.
Foolproof and safe logic
"If you can't tie a knot, just tie a lot." 🤣
My man has some of the sickest sayings you'll never hear anymore!
This was a chuckler from start to finish. “10 out of 10, because we didn’t die” is the funniest line I’ve heard in a long time. I’m going to use it.
you are one of the luckiest men alive. beautiful supportive wife and a leaky boat collection, what more could a man need
Cheers to having a wife this supportive of your fun endeavors. Most can only daydream her reaction.
Man, i miss these days!!! Enjoy every minute of them kids, regardless of whatever struggles you have, these ARE the best days of your life!
You had me cracking up, when you said, "we are parking the boat up front" Lol 😂 Love your shows.
I cracked up too!😂
The memories we keep to share with friends and family are priceless. Y’all had fun and made the trip to/from without needing rescue, 10/10. 👍
That’s a win in my book!

Wonderful video.
Luke, I remember fishing with my Dad in the 70s. rented 14&16’ jons and v hulls. Fishing northern Il, Chicagoland, Wisconsin, upper peninsula Michigan, bull schoals Ark.
Lots of good fishing memories with my Dad. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a can of pop for lunch.
Beautiful northern Wisconsin sunsets with my Dad. 9:30/10pm still light enough to make it back to the bank.
I found some reciepts after my Dad had passed away- $12.50 a day rental, including 2 cushions, oars, and anchor ( coffee can with cement).
I remember lots of Monarks and 60s Searays.
....now I’m planning on buying an old Monark to use and remember all the good times out fishing.
Around 2005, I put my Dad on huge bluegills, 8 1/2” and 12” perch.
He caught the largest perch, 12 1/2”.
God bless you, Luke. You got me through some rough times working as a carpenter. Your work ethic really encouraged me this summer.
Some day I hope to meet you.
Jim
Im 19 now and my names Luke aswell, my favorite memories were buying a 12 ft boat off of marketplace at 15 years old and building a casting decks, had many memories and more in it. Now I’m 19 and own a 16ft bass tracker completely rebuild with everything new and 2 jet skies paid for by myself, love the passion man and the story behind it.
Hell yeah bro. I'm 21 and I have 0 watercraft I need to lock in immediately
Good on you Luke. Stay happy be well
If you wanted to renew it you could acid wash it or power wash it, Patch the holes, and repaint if wanted
Man, this one had me smiling the whole time! What a great time. I just rescued a 50 year old 14' Sears flat bottom Jon boat from the woods, fought with DWR for a couple months to get it registered, managed to score a pristine 2hp Honda outboard... All in time for the winter haha! I'm looking forward to some great adventures with it.
Hey man I’d love to see that thing in action! I got a 16 foot discovery that’s getting a “fresh” 1989 25 horse merc 2 stroke and hope it doesn’t leave me stranded on the Delaware river! I’ll be filming that as well!
@@ryandykenga487 Heck yeah man, that sounds like a fun setup right there. I have a short on my channel of my little boat and motor, I have since rebuilt the transom and am still working out some carb issues but I think it will be perfect for exploring all the tidal creeks around me
Game. Fisher. Nevertheless John boat biber glass
The photos legit remind me of my super broke but scrappy childhood. Learn how to wrench, you are going to need it in life.
Best video on the internet.
This reminded me of growing up. I always had some sketchy craft made of barrels or whatever floated.
Props to the wife. She's a keeper for smiling while sinking in a boat full of compost.
What a great boat story I can totally relate. I remember when I had my first boat ripping down the river wherever I choose worlds away. Thanks for the memories
The Sinking Feeling.🤣🤣🤣........dude, we all need friends like you. Keep doing what you're doing Luke, I'm here for it.
Lived off of Bodkin Ave through out my childhood and basically spent my summers with my friends on the Bodkin creek . We used my friends aluminum V hull just like yours. Brought back fond memories and smile on my face. Thanks for the content , keep it up.
Wow, so cool you could reconnect with the old boat ! We all have memories of such! Thank for sharing was a good time for sure , best part is that you shared it with us!❤
No internet at 11 years old is a good thing tbh. I had amazing parents too like that, unfortunately, I was/still am a tyrant and did ANYTHING I pleased…🤷
Love your channel man, your a solid guy I can tell.
I like the content of this video. It was nice to see you all going on a little adventure. Your wife is a real trooper and always has a pleasant attitude.
Down in the Dirty Dena !!!!
You def have the right girl. Y'all are awesome together.
My first boat was a 12 foot V haul. Then a 17 foot flat bottom. Then a 17 foot canoe. And then, that's it. Lol
Every man is a king aboard his boat! Keep the videos coming!
Such a great story. Thank you for sharing!
Great video! Love your story.
Your still young Luke, thanks.
The old Chevy Blazers (full size) had removable rear roof section. The TV show Rip Tide had one that went around as a convertible. The 1st Gen 4 Runners did the same.
I’m a little late to the video but can I recommend crossing your chains on the trailer to the truck.. if the trailer were to fall, the cross on the chains would keep the tongue off the ground and make it a little safer for you and your boat as well as the people behind you lol. Just a little tip for ya for the future
Definitely picked the foggiest day of the year in AA county for a maiden voyage. Awesome choice Luke. Made a fantastic video.
Your best video ever! Keep that boat forever!
That reminds me a lot of my childhood only. We had a flat bottom wooden row boat on the Detroit river. I also cut grass to get money for the gas.
Worked at the Marina during the week and the owner would let us borrow his sea king outboard motor. Great video brings back many memories
Luke: there holes in the boat.
Phil Swift: HI Phil Swift here with flex paste!
I loved watching all the shorts leading up to this
That's a fine looking trailer!
You seem sooo much fun . Lindsey is sooo lucky!😊😊
This was great!
That was an awesome video! Keep it up!
Great hat. Great podcast.
Cool channel.
I suspect a lot of old timers are enjoying your style.
Good on ya. From MN..
Great video keep up the good work and don’t let any haters bother you.
Hello fellow Clay Newcomb fan! That is my favorite hat I wear mine all the time! Love the Bear Grease Podcast! Cool video as well!
It's where your dreams started, for that the boat is priceless.
Good memories more to come
I love your sense of humor and your boat.
My first boat was a ten foot Jon, leaked like crazy from the seams, I was carpenter apprentice at time and had a half of large tube of construction adhesive. Caulked seams no more leak!!
Great video!!!
Memories are the best, happy boating 🛶
This reminds me of my old 16 ft that had a merc 15hp o.b on it when I was 14 y.o and boy that 1st summer with it was the best summer ever thanks for the trio down memory lane
Mini tug boat betrr onky $17000 new boat bew 15 hp Honda cabin cruser
Lol "Ron Jon Surf Shop", in Cocoa, FL. Haven't thought of that place in a minute. Living in Orlando, I used to hear about them all the time on the radio.
I’ve had many of these exact same type of trips good times
I have the same boat but 14 foot. I gave $300 and have since used it 3 different seasons and on my third motor. Started with a 9.8 hp Merc and have moved up to a 20 hp Merc
Preach, brother.
Dude you are an old soul. Wish you and your lovely wife all the best and a long loving marriage. God bless you and yours.
One of the best days of your life!!
loved this video
Great memory for me. My dad bought a sears best, like that back in the 1970’s. He let me put the trailer together and wire the lights. Grandpa has an old 7.5 Evenrude, still have that motor. Use heavy nails to make shear pins going down the creek, setting bank poles and lines, camping. Rope pull broke, dad took to a boat shop, they had it almost all summer. Dad finally raised cane, they replace all kinds of stuff on motor. Dad showed the receipt to fix rope, heck the motor ran fine. So all new parts for cost of new pull start rope.❤
Dude those old alumacraft 16 foot boats are legendary!
Best Video I have seen 😎 Awesome !!!
You sure know how to pick them. Pretty cool
The whole video was way better than the shorts I watched earlier! But the shorts were great also!
The first boat i ever bought is still in my backyard. I've had that boat for 40 years and have had way to much fun in that little 14ft jon boat to get rid of it now. Glad to see you could get yours back and enjoy it with the new wife and old friends.

Love you man. You have the best attitude on everything. I think Nike got their motto from you. Just do it!. You are so positive. God bless you and may all of your adventures be memorable.
Brings back soooooo many memories. My first was a boat like this one but a fisher marine 15'er. Crappy boats are the best teachers hands down! Wish I could find my old one out there somewhere.... Thumbs ups dude!
Mastrr chef dint crap whaler 15. Beter

I remember when I was a kid using a Jon boat going crabbing. That has been about 50 years ago. Congratulations on getting her.
First view of your stuff. What a personality! I dont know them but I love your parents.
you are a professional yapper
Ahhh The ol' PennySaver! I remember those days! We're close to the same age just grown up across the river. I love your videos I was hoping to come visit you this summer, hopefully I still can I guess I'll have to go through the city. I was planning to come across the bridge....... unfortunately.
I'm dying bro. Epic
Yeahhhh buddy!
I live ‘down up east’ in lil rhody and love this lifestyle. Make my money in 8 months and then by the 11th month the freezer is almost empty! My work boat is a little baby compared to SG and Webo but we make it happen. 🍻
Yes it is awesome nevr will i evwr forget mine. I gave it away and i still see it occasionally
Captain of your own ship. No better title
Penny saver! Remember that from my Pittsburgh era in the 70’s.
Cool old boat...
I love that boat, and that Ford truck
Make sure you put a cable or a chain on that motor and attach it to the boat so you don’t lose it
Well , I still got a 12 foot , 12 volt trolling motor , 9.5 gas motor , oars and trailer and more extras . I sold my 18 foot .
Both sit around for 9 years because I just use my kayak . $400
Greetings from Indonesia, here to support you
You need to restore that bad boy!
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Voyage =Ten out of ten!!! Video = Ten out of ten! Boat is a niner and Lyndsey of course is an eleven!!
Seaworthy stamp of appeal! Bassass little boat!
Luke, that’s not what we call a Jon Boat. That’s a skiff. 😊

I love talking about Pennysaver😂 when I was a kid, they used to be a section in the newspaper called under 100 bucks it was for boats cars. Four wheelers are used to buy and flip stuff out of there all the time when I was in high school.

You're so funny! I love you!!
i have a 5hp nissan in my 14 ft aluminimum .... lol slow but it gets us where we needs to go
Holy crap, I live in the DMV so I actually know which day you filmed this. It was absolute SOUP that day. By the by good buddy, it is an aluminum boat, made from weldable aluminum, if you can find the holes in the off season just fill them in with weld. MIG with a spool gun, low heat, and be careful, flap disk finish, and there will be no holes left.
My best friend and I had a blast with his Dad's 14' John boat 9 hp. We mounted it his schwin and pulled it to the harbor.
It was better than old floating dock parts.
I had one of those growing up. It had an Evinrude 7.5 on it. That boat made a lot of memories. It was such a sad day when my dad sold it. I recently found the boat. The guy repainted it the exact same way it was. Ive made a couple offers to him, but the guy is busy making memories with his son. Ive got another boat to make memories with my own family now, but id still love to have it.
Nothing quite like the first one!
@@fvsoutherngirl you can bet that as soon as the guy is ready to sell it, I'll be the first call he makes. I've actually made friends with the guy, and our kids play together. We hunt together, etc. Boats are good for making new friends.
Good video
wow, same price for the same aluminum riveted boat of the same age, on another side of the ocean) bought my first aluminum boat for $600, put a 2.5 suzuki, three 6-packs of beer and went for an all day cruise with my friends) Was the best summer 2012)
I had a 12ft dinghy as a younger kid and the feeling of being super free on a boat is great 😂😂 now I have my own 12ft jon boat because my dad sold my dinghy
Dude. You're hilarious. As a 28 year old myself, you have the sense of humor and quick wittedness that outpaces most our age.
