Whoever filmed this in portrait needs jail time
No wonder it wouldn’t cast to my tv
Agreed! Vertical video should be illegal.
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!
Ginger is the only one still alive... SHE'S 90
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
@@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
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
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!!
Brother. Don't ask for crabs. Lmao
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. . .
@@davecordes6121😢😮😊😅😂❤
Great work! Now you have a skiff for beer runs to keep the crab boat at sea longer. :D
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.

Luke is the Macgyver of the Maryland crabbing community.
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 😂✌️🇬🇧
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.
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!
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.
Heard it from boat designer Jeff Spira RIP… best bilge pump is a scared man with a 5 gallon bucket
Job well done.👍
And you scored yourself a boat 🛥
Nice!👋
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 👏
That captures my feelings exactly. 😊. Most excellent find
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. ❤❤❤
Stick welding aluminum is such a pain, JB weld is your friend :)
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.
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
I love your sarcasm and sense of humor. You make me laugh.
Hahaha this is the same kid who made videos about making sketchy boat accessories and now he makes sketchy boats. Perfect!
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.
You sure your last name isn't Mcgyver (Macgyver)? You're always Macgyvering stuff. And it usually works. Lol😂
I appreciate you, Capt. Thanks for the content and believe it or not the education. 🤟😎
I need a deal like that! What a great boat...FREE, theres no such thing! Hope you guys have a blast on it!
"self clearance" going in the book!
Awesome! Well done! I was smiling all through this video!
congratulations, what a great job recovering the boat
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.
One of the best videos i have yet to see ever on you tube. Nice boat bro!
Nice to see teamwork pays off 😊
Nice welding job you guys! Yep time to go to the bar🍺🍻🍹😜bottoms up! Cheers🦀
Thats amazing the motor still runs
Good job
Love the videos man !!!
Love your energy.
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
You guys need to make large floats , how we lift rock when searching for gold, lift the boat right up.
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.
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.
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
Great job man nice work💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
J B Weld the rest
Good job Captain Luke!!
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! 👍😁
Always remember, "safety third."
Hats off to you and crew
It’s nice seeing the assembly of shorts videos
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.
Have to appreciate this young man. Great attitude
Good job, nice recovery.
I like your style kid .
LOVE IT SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU 🥰
Nicely done!
Seems like you had the perfect crew for the perfect project good job guys it looks like a lot of fun😊
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.
With all the young guys there, they had to make an old man jump in the cold water..👏👏👏 bravo
Those Yamaha's motor are beast, built to last. That's all I use for my boat are Yamaha and Suzuki's
Way to go guys !
Nothing more expensive than a free boat…..
The very definition of "free is too much" 😂
Great recovery an repair
Hell yeah bumpin some Berner!
Determination, hardwork, persistence is the key!
If you were my son, i would be very proud of you. Smart you are, young man.👍
Loved the content. Can't believe you got it for free! New Sub. Yeww 🤙🏻
I'm Impressed! Let me know if Lindsey is coming up Stoney Creek and I'll wave.
Great work! Congrats on boat ownership. --from Coeur d Alene--
I love ur videos thank you for doing what you do 😂🎉
Key West pirates salute you . A damn fine adventure men . Well done ....
That's freaking awesome
" If you can't tie a knot...tie alot"...LOL...my boss used to say that
I wanna move to the south so bad after watching this, helped a neighbor and got a free boat out of 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” 😂
@@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
Your a lucky some itch ! Great find .
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.
7:28 - Always heard you should "check" your trailer tires. You're all set now!
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
Oh, a buddy-fuel pump, full on beer, squeezing the bulb so that everyone can get home, something I can relate)))
THAT'S PERSEVERANCE LIKE THE INDIAN SAID!!!!!!!!!
Thanks For sharing 👍😀
Well done.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GIFT YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH FROM ALMIGHTY GOD,
WELL DONE
Everything and more that you could expect from a free sunken boat
Great job everyone 👏 👍
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 .
Good job guys😂👌
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 ;;
Paying it forward
Good job
Love it! So where is Webo today?
Good job bro👍👍👍
best bilge pump is a scared man with a bucket
Well done
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
That is awesome
why can't I ever have shit like this fall into my lap hahahaha
Depends on if it was fresh water and how long it was under.
Those are real friends 😊
Sweet Eng
