Don’t you DARE ever give up!!! You’re a dying breed of young adults!!! We love you.

100% Luke on creating “The Experience” for your crab stand. We all live for the opportunity to have an experience- memories

"It's a good day to do something stupid"😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Your one-liners are classic man 😂 😂

Im in Galveston tx down south where the crabs dont hibernate lmao but ive been watching you can you inspired me to get my own crab boat and work for myself. Only took till i hit 31 years old and watched alot of your videos to realize that lol

Tongue weight stabilizes a trailer. Having too much weight on the back is what makes a trailer get squirrely. No one's probably going to read this but I just wanted to make sure people understood that because you said it the other way.. the more weight you have on the tongue the more stable your trailer is going to fallow.

You should make the motor box a cooler and keep crabs or cold snacks in there.

"watch my shaft" Best KZfaq line EVER!!!

I love the lines on that style of boat,very pleasing to the eye.Keep two boats for catching crab and one boat for catching customers,great business model.Wish you the best.

Luke I spent $50k buying and upgrading my jeep for playing. But started my business in truckin with a day cab running coast to coast slerping across the seat's until I had enough for a Coffin sleeper. Did thst for 27 yrs. Then sold it to work for somebody else for another 20 yrs. Till I retired last year. You do what you have to do to make your way to your dream's

You are such an inspiration to any and all Luke. Your positivity is a thing to behold young man.

My ancestors were oystermen on Delaware Bay for 200 years. I could pilot a boat before I could ride a bicycle. Glad to see a a grand old workboat getting a second life. Keep on keeping on!

As I said previously, using that old crab boat as your crab stand is a terrific idea. It will advertise itself and will be very fitting for an old crab boat. Good luck in setting it up. I’ll definitely be down there to see it in action and pick up some crabs. While you’re at it, try to get some oysters to sell as well from other growers. That would certainly help in terms of more income and merchandise sales. Great job!!!

By far, my favorite channel to watch. Very entertaining Luke.

There’s no feeling like riding in a sinking boat on a long rope in a soupy fog wondering if you’re going to get run down by a idiot on auto pilot but you didn’t and your treasure is in home port. Great episode Luke now see if you can find something to keep you busy.

Almost 50 years old and have been lucky enough to spent most of my life in the marshes and sounds of Eastern NC. Breaks my heart to see all of the traditions I learned as a kid disappearing. I don't think your average hunter these days can relate to setting out 150 solid wood canvasback decoys or hunting a lay down box. Forget about launching a wooden dory off the beach into the surf setting gill net. For the most part it's a lost art. It's hard to see my beloved Outer Banks becoming something else. Fact of the matter it is no longer mine, it has been owned by outsiders for a couple of generations now and they cater to the tourist and the Almighty dollar. Hell, maybe every generation before me said the same thing. But when I see your videos and your passion for your work and keeping the traditions alive it gives me hope. You are making a difference and putting your money where your mouth is and it comes across in every video. Your doing good work and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Good luck to you and I know you do already, but savor every second on the water.

I freaking loved the comment about bringing down the property values!

Awesome job Luke.. Keep that Maryland Crabbing tradition alive.

The fact that you published this video says you didn't get run over by a freighter in the channel. Another foggy day peril on the Chesapeake. Been there done that.

Fun fact.....if your radio isn't on and you don't answer the coast guard you'll probably get boarded for a safety inspection because yur supposed to have it on channel 16 while under way

Cocker you have no idea how much your helping so many people right now, good luck and good health to you and yours.😊

I cant get enough of your content, Keep it up my man!

Quick note when towing dead weight like that boat, put some sort of light drag off the stern. That way the vessel is a link in the chain and a combination of the drag plus thrust will keep everything in line.

Sketchy Crab Company is coming through again. Great Show.

Luke.. I think your idea for this old girl is spot on. Whether you are making videos or just a better way to connect with your customers. Though, been raised around wooden boats, I cringe a bit over cutting her up. That said, I know you will do her proud. I'm looking forward to seeing your vision completed.

When towing a boat, use two lines and tie both to a tire in the center.... makes a good shock absorber and keeps the cleats from Getting ripped off. Old Alaskan Salty dog trick. That's how we do it when getting towed over the bars on The Copper River Flats.

"see that little hammer, dude...that fixes all of Lindsay's little problems" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Oh yeah, you gonna hear it on that one Cap!!!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I appriciate you as a young man, who does whatever is needed at the time. I'm a retired 100 ton skipper. I would have given anything for two crewmembers who are as committed as you.😊

You’re doing great things young man. God bless ya brother

Usually that beep means that the battery is dead on the radio. Time to charge or change batteries! Good job getting her home Luke!

“You’re not paid to think; a mindless worker is a happy worker.” 😂😂😂 love it 😊

It’s such a neat boat and I’m glad you’re giving it a new ‘life’ and it was great to check it out in person!

" We gotta long day of impending disaster"... this video was better than any horror/ scare movie.... had me on the edge of my seat!!!

hey Luke. I wrote out what you said about your crab boat stand. And truly think it should go on or around the crab stand for costumers to read framed as an Easter egg when they are waiting to order. Luke McFadden: "As a business person, I understand that there are better options than turning an old Delta build crab boat into a crab stand. For kids to be able to come to the crab stand and experience a real crab boat and actually see a boat that worked on the water is so important. To get the next generation familiarized with the industry and show them - put a face and an actual thing. If we want this industry to thrive and have a rebirth and really last, I think it's crucial that we get the younger generation involved in the water. I think it's really important for kids to understand where their food comes from and that we are the ones that are most invested in keeping the natural resource around and being good stewards of it."

Many blessing to you and wifey! Can’t wait to see the transformation content! Countdown to next Friday begins now.

All that to find out the burgers are gone. LOL!!!! Triple cheese at that.🤣

I love your videos. Makes me miss when I owned my own business. All the daily disasters that were frustrating in the moment are some of my favorite times to look back and laugh at lol

"Its like Pokemon. . . Gotta catch'em all" Absolute Gold

Promise me something… if you and the new/old/prop boat are shut down by the town, you need to record all of it. I’m invested. I don’t live anywhere here you, and don’t particularly care for crabs. But in a few months I’ll be driving through and want a T-shirt.

Dude i think making the boat is a really cool idea. We all have childhood memories of things like an old boat that sells crabs on the side of the road and you are gonna continue that American tradition of roadside attractions.

Get that prop balanced and pitched, and new cutlass bearings , I just had it done I hit something on the ICW.Dominey propeller in Brunswick Georgia is the best shop around

I gotta update you on the language of the bay. Slick calm. Is said (Slick Cam). I ain’t NO CRABBER .. haha but I know Jay so that’s close enough. Haha I live in Smith Island. So I hear these crabbers and their language.. trout line = Trot line. I think. I love your show 🎉 you and CJ are so fun to watch. Keep up the good work making those ideas come to reality 🎉 I need to work on my own ideas instead of just dreaming up ideas. 😅😂😂😂😂

The correct amount of boats…. Is all of’em. That’s Classic

I got into the marine industry a few years ago, following in the footsteps of my MOM who owned a marina when she was my age (28). I have to say.. you’ll never find another line of work where you’ll make the friendships, connections and generally find a sense of belonging and fulfillment other than on the water.. so long as you’re a water lover. Keep it up Luke! You’re an inspiration and an affirmation.

Luke you crack me up! I’ve made decisions like this 😂 I really expected that small rope to break. And also owning a business, try to give a different experience or do something different than others! Sometimes the gamble pays off or other times you just learn.

Brother you are on your way to a incredible life. Make that money brother

Luke I love your attitude. I am a small business owner myself. I have to say you took the words out of my mouth workers not talker’s. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Lol. "We can't go any slower, it's idle" 😂😂😂

you need to clip that part of the radio cutting out when you're trying to ask for a cheeseburger. That shit was hilarious!

Always love you in depth explanation on your thought process with this purchase! Proud of you buddy keep on shining brother !!

Ahh, brings back lots of memories for me. I was a chicken-necker back in the late 1980's-1992 or so - had a 30' sloop over in Mill Creek at Leo James place (next to Cantler's ), now LJ Marina. Leo James was a crabber and a super nice guy. I was your age when my friends and I would sail out, drop 6 or 8 lines out with the chicken (we used cheap drumsticks, but same thing) and pull up crabs all day and into the night. Good times for sure.

19:20 Thanks for the pep talk man that’s exactly what I needed to make my move!!

HI 👋 MAYBE BATTERY WAS GETTING LOW ON THE TWO WAY ?

OMG I was dying laughing when that radio was cutting out on you. Love your videos. Grew up with family in the crab potting business in North Carolina so your content hits me with this major wave of nostalgia.

Your amazing keep dreaming your classic for sure

Keep 'em coming Luke, your projects are getting more ... hilarious !!

Luke is a rare breed nowadays

When u have crap coming into the Davco filter let it sit then open the drain plug on the base of the filter before you fire it up and btw diesel is a living organism

I went to school with Jason Ruth! He was a couple years older than me if I remember correctly. And I worked Security at Mears Point Marina / Red Eye Dock Bar back in the day! Grew up in Cloverfields on Kent Island.

I’m over here laughing like an idiot at the doctors office with the cheese burger part 😂😂😂

Luke, Ferd (the marine across the river from you) has one of those trailers that is hydraulicly adjustable for any boat. May be an option for moving the boat over land to Glen Burnie.

Doesn't a fleet of ships make you an admiral

Great content man and looking forward to seeing this come to life! So much to be said for your perspective on being a doer instead of a talker. I’m not in the fishing business but rather the construction and real estate business. Houses for me are on par with boats for you. I see potential and opportunity where a lot of folks would walk. Cheers from Alaska!

Side by side towing has it's advantages, one of which might have been cheeseburgers 🙂

Great content! you know your on the shore when you get a 5 min family tree introduction upon meeting new people!!!

Hell yeah! Excited to see this thing when it's all done up!

Love your Channel Luke. I’ll be watching for as long as your posting. I’m in South Jersey and thinking about taking a trip down to see your boat stand and get some crabs off you this summer.

Currently in Palm Springs, born in Baltimore. I WILL get to Glen Burnie this summer to see the final product .

I know the old man was being genuine, but this was funny “ yeah you’re doing a good job. Don’t let anybody give you any crap you’re doing good. Just ask for advice from the old timers. Now just take my boat.” 😂😂😂.

You have the best one liners. Have you always been like that? Love this guy🇺🇸😂

Thank you, crack me up, I love your words are so true. I walked a similar journey as well worth it. Enjoy those moments they are fleeting

Love that pep talk at 19:30

Im sure you are going to do a great job with the boat .

It's been a minute since I laughed out loud watching KZfaq. Between the VHF and imagining you smelling those Cheesebugers up wind, I was chuckling!

Yet again, another cool video. The best advertisement you can have. Are from your haters. We all have them. Mate, from a bloke down under, keep them coming.

Work on!!! Love your hard work and determination... Keep it up.

Luke the boat is sinking because the engine is out. The propeller shaft is leaking.

Beautiful lines on that boat! Loved the pictures looking at the bow!

Can't wait to see the shop to go

oh luke you are precious...... enjoy your adventures

fun segment Luke. glad you made it back ok. cant wait to see how you get it boat to your lot. the bay was nice to you, it can turn on you in a minute. nice to see the underside of the narrows bridge. been over it many times. thanks for sharing.

i towed a sinking 1965 41ft hatteras twin diesel with a single screw chrysler 3601969 uniflight i dont even know how many miles in the winter. took 5hrs at least at an idle because any faster i would spin out of control. made some memories.

I’m excited to watch the transformation on this boat

You the man . Ideas are easy….execution, that’s hard . Mad respect for you. As Buzz says, never give up, never surrender.

Too cool that you have this all recorded. Making history

Best line ever! The correct amount of boats to have is… all of them

21:46 yesss, that's the right way man 21:53

Another awesome video from Luke.

Genius bro that's the word for your idea

Words well said! I have wanted to run heavy equipment since I was a kid! And now I am living my childhood dream! I am a heavy equipment operator! I don’t go to work every day! I get to play with big tonka toys everyday and get payed for it

omg, the side shot of the old crab boat is now my wallpaper. Epic!

Off road diesel is a $1 a gallon and regular ole diesel is $3.78 in the Lone Star State 👍🤠

Hard work will get you where you want to be enjoy your videos keep them coming

I love seeing our hometown guy with our hometown in the background 😀

Pretty deep words in that video. Nice job my friend. Keep it coming.

Bad decisions make for good stories. You couldn’t have picked a better day. Another successful mission! I think the “Crab Boat Experience” is a brilliant idea. So far everything seems to be working out well. I’m looking forward to the rest of the mission. Thanks again for some great entertainment.

God Bless you Luke ...love the channel ...❤

Definitely been enjoying these KZfaq videos keep it up love the content!

That was a fun video! Glad y'all made it home safely! ❤️

Good Job Capt . !

Great job .
