if my mental health and my wallet have to suffer.. why not my gut, too? I seriously cant get enough of this dude. how can he be so entertaining that early in the morning? how can he be so determined, optimistic, and had working despite all the odds. truly just incredible, an inspiration, thank you Luke.
Dang Luke. I didn't realize just how far You've come , in such a short time. I subscribed the 1st time I watched this video, and I always look forward to seeing more from You. Thanks for Your positive attitude. It really is infectious 😅
Really nice boat young man. I have been a medium/heavy diesel truck fleet mechanic for over 40 years and had not heard of Lugger diesel until now. I did some checking and found them to be based on John Deere design and produced by Northern Lights company. I heard those engines can last upwards of 80,000 hours if properly maintained. I grew up boating in the LBI Barnegat area. However about 35 years ago I discovered the Chesapeake (eastern shore) and fell in love with the Chesapeake. I love seeing the waterman “deadrise” work boats with “screaming jimmies” 6L71 and 8V92 s. I just discovered your channel. Keep up the great job. Great work ethic also.
The Webo is a beast of a boat. I frequently fish around the marina it used to be docked out. That thing was always out working and never seemed to have any issues. Best of luck with it
Just became a member and fan. This video’s about 8 months old as I view it. Lived on the eastern shore for a bit but back on Cape Cod as I retire. Still working 40 hr week @ 72. Love your channel. You remind me of my younger self. It seems you stumbled on a good boat. The prior owners seemed to have kept her healthy which speaks well of them. You’ll have years of good use from this craft. Enjoy the ride..!
I live on Barnegat Bay, and I pass that little marina where you picked up your boat hundreds of times on my way out of Barnegat Inlet. I’ve never seen that boat under water, so you’re probably pretty safe. Took that wave coming out of the inlet pretty well, too. Good luck, and I’m looking forward to the next installment.
That boat use to be an old oyter boat that towed dredges off sides and then converted to a net fishing boat that caught bunker for De bay crabbers...Originally owed by an older guy and was originally named Louie and Danny after his sons. Once he retired it was sold and used as a charter fishing boat with a 6 pk license
Wow Luke, love the boat; what a sturdy craft. I loved your comment about the warranty, it lasts until I can’t see it from my house 😂, Looking forward to more of the story. Congratulations on your engagement. 🎉
Dude I really hope you continue this!! This is awesome!! Your comedic style is so natural and funny and entertaining!! Hahaha so sick man hope you keep this up and I hope this TH-cam channel blows up!!
So many great quotes in this video… hard to rank my favorite but I’m going with “I was tired of everything going too smoothly so I thought I’d double down”. Haha! I grew up in Arnold, MD, lived in South Jersey for a while… absolutely LOVE CRABS 🦀. Fun to see familiar territory. You’re a natural in front of the camera. Keep it going man! I’m you’re newest Subscriber 💪🏻
I really enjoyed your video. You are one funny young man! I laughed my butt off! You have a great " go get-em " rock steady attitude. You will have fun and should go far in life. Can't wait to see the 2nd leg of the trip. God Bless....
First time watching your channel. I enjoy boat rescue stuff so that why I stopped in. I must say…love your honest perspective on yourself, your stuff and your decision! Entertaining so far! Let’s watch another one!!!!
the more I watch Luke's videos, the more i love this dude. I hope one day I can make it to the crab stand, bit of a drive from Indiana but I hear the crab is pretty decent
That's looks like a keeper. I've owned a one off wooden lobster boat for 16 years. I've made that initial voyage filled with self doubt. But I wouldn't have change a thing. Best move of my life. I'm 67 years old and I can't wait for fishing season to open up in May. Jonah crab and lobsters are what I fish for.
Lugger engines are exceptionally durable. To me, with 19K hours, you've still got a good amount of life left in that engine if you do the maintenance and run her regularly.
Good luck with your new ride! I have a 43' Torres commercial boat with a Lugger 6140 700 hp that has 22000 hours on it great motors all day every day runners.
I cant believe how far you've come in such a short time. I subscribed the 1st time I watched this,because Your positive attitude and entertaining personality is infectious! Thanks
Those valves and that reservoir look to be your Hynautic control system, likely steering and possibly your throttle/reduction gear if they're not cable. Should be indicators on that sight glass for the antifreeze level and you'll want to pressurize it to charge the system.
Congratulations. Looks like you are having a great time. Yes, everything is twice as expensive as you plan for on a boat. Rest assured: Lugger is one of the most bullet proof engines you can find. As your fiancé would say: “Be Safe”
I enjoy your outlook on life, bought a new boat, got engaged, you most definitely doubled down !! But I think Y'all gonna be fine as frog hair !!! Keep up the hard work Son, you'll have wisdom you can pass down to your grandchildren !!! Got a sub from me !!!
What a trip man. I actually just did a delivery on a sailboat I bought in Brick, Nj. Brought her down to Cape May took 18 hours. Awesome video bro. Good luck with everything
I grew up on the Barnegat, on the other side of the inlet, it was good to see Ol Barney again! I found your channel through the shorts and thought you were from Barnegat for awhile. Ive been slowly catching up... The Webo looks like a solid money maker .. now to find the rest of the story.....
RISK is part of business. Failure is as well...but failure is nothing more than a learning experience in order to find that correct path. KEEP STEPPING, YOUNG MAN.
I would always tell me there is no fun in being safe. Especially to my dispatchers. Then I would follow it up with “hope it stays quiet”. If you know…. You know.
Luke great job with the TH-cam! Congrats on making an honest bride out of that girl! Best of luck with the new boat may she sail the sea till the end of time!
That’s awesome! I hope she works out well for you. And congratulations on your engagement! We bought a 35’ Viking sport fish in Toms River a number of years ago and took the same route home. The 8ft ocean waves were breaking over the top of the fly bridge! It was scary insane! The boat is solid and held up to the pounding very well. Can’t say the same for my body! 😂 At least we know she’ll hold up to whatever the Chesapeake will throw out there.
@@fvsoutherngirl Thanks! It’s now at our neighbors dock (he bought it) and we picked up a 43ft Post in Norfolk a few years ago! We’ve done a lot of restoring her to her original glory. Lots of gorgeous wood inside and teak in the cockpit. She is seriously sweet! Great for longer cruises. 💞 We’re on the Magothy- not far from you. Can’t wait for boating season! I shudder watching the conditions you go out in. But I guess 35 years ago I was sailing in frostbite regattas… ☺️
I just found your channel looking for crawfish traps. Lol. Loving the content and have been binging your channel. I’m over on the west coast and mostly run river sleds with long tails so it’s cool to see what y’all do on the east coast
I've lived in cape may my whole life & my old man has had a boat docked at either breezy lee or hinch marina for almost 50 years.. I can only imagine what he's spent lol he watches your videos too!
What beauty! The Webo is running strong, just needs a cleaning and paint! Gotta love a Lugger with 18,000+ hours on her! If you need anything in Cape May call Rosemans! They would love to meet you and see the Webo. Safe travels running down the beach. Oh, and you ain’t no crabber.💪🦀
....congratulations with you new purchase....I love your spirit of buying a sketchy used boat ...I do the same from time to time...I have subscribed and want to see more adventures with WEBO....🎉
We did almost the same thing back in 72 From Cape May to Barnegat inlet in a 28 Ft Chris Craft , Gas was if i remember 65 cents at the dock, Ah the good ol days !
@@fvsoutherngirl Yes it was. Operated by the Ahern family out of Waretown. Wish I knew you were in the area, I would have come across to the Island and bought you lunch at Kubels.
You my friend are hilarious. Way to double down. Good luck with the newish boat. Dont use up all the electrical tape in one spot. Lol. New follower here. 👍🍻🇨🇦
0:40 oh my goodness I had to replay it, I thought you said you start your mornings with coffee and butter beans.? I was like what, that’s nasty is that a regional thing?? I can’t imagine anything worse so I had to rewind! 😂. Yes, Vit B, especially Vitamin B12 as it gives your cells energy etc. ❤😊
I like it. It reminds me of the first fishing boat I worked on back in the 90's the FV GULF QUEEN. We did have room for a little gas stove and 4 bunks that we practically lived in. We would go straight from the night club and sleep on the boat just so the captain didn't come to the house waking us. Lol that was never fun..lol
Hey man I been seeing your shorts and enjoying them. Pleased to see you have “vlogs”! Enjoy watching and supporting other young people getting after life and working hard. Live in Hawaii, in the country where we still fish, hunt and ranch, work hard!! Shout out to you !! The WEBO is siiiick af!! May she treat you well and make you some mountains of cash!! Ever want a vacation your welcome to stay w us out here in the Big Island can take you for some fish/hunt adventures hawaiian style! Shoots den braddah Luke 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I hope this dude gets millions of subscribers and makes a ton of money.
I think he deserves it.
Seems like a very good fine young man.
He definitely deserves it and more.
He is, never seen him act any other way.

Bruh, I love your sarcasm and humor. And no cares given attitude. That boat reminds me of the boats I see in videos when they are racing to dock. Cool

I admire your lack of knowing what you’re getting yourself into and doing it anyway. Good for you man! You will do well in life if you survive it.
I got news for you, nobody survives life.
Wow Luke, love the boat; what a sturdy craft.
I loved your comment about the warranty, it lasts until I can’t see it from my house 😂,

I have owned and own several boats. I think you have a winner. the boat is solid and the motor sounds great. good luck
That's a great boat engine hours are a testament to how it's been looked after ,a great work horse
the more I watch Luke's videos, the more i love this dude. I hope one day I can make it to the crab stand, bit of a drive from Indiana but I hear the crab is pretty decent
Dude! Love the down to earth honest working man's life philosophy. I ran across your channel after seeing Brad Leone vid with you. Great stuff!

Hey Luke. Webo looks and sounds pretty good for it's age...please post videos of your restoration of it.

700 hp that has 22000 hours on it great motors all day every day runners.
You have a great sense of humor. That's an important thing to have for a commercial fisherman in my experience.
I cant believe how far you've come in such a short time. I subscribed the 1st time I watched this,because Your positive attitude and entertaining personality is infectious! Thanks
I have to say you are the most entertaining person. Always positive and hard working.. enjoy your videos and will always be watching. John SF
You're an awesome, good tempered man. You get nothing if you don't take a chance! Congratulations!!
I appreciate your channel sir! You're very relatable and I enjoy your videos.. thank you!
Your commentary is refreshing. Good luck with your new boat.
Those valves and that reservoir look to be your Hynautic control system, likely steering and possibly your throttle/reduction gear if they're not cable. Should be indicators on that sight glass for the antifreeze level and you'll want to pressurize it to charge the system.
Awesome! Congrats on the purchase. I like watching your tik toks and now you tube!
Awesome looking for more fishing adventures with your new boat. Congratulations and good luck fission. 🦀🐟🍀
Congratulations. Looks like you are having a great time. Yes, everything is twice as expensive as you plan for on a boat. Rest assured: Lugger is one of the most bullet proof engines you can find. As your fiancé would say: “Be Safe”
I love it! You are my son from another mother I'm pretty sure. Congrats on the boat and the bride-to-be. He who finds a wife finds a good thing.
So glad to see you are now a TH-camr. I absolutely love your content TikTok, just like the longer video format. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for watching!
I enjoy your outlook on life, bought a new boat, got engaged, you most definitely doubled down !! But I think Y'all gonna be fine as frog hair !!! Keep up the hard work Son, you'll have wisdom you can pass down to your grandchildren !!! Got a sub from me !!!
Risk takers win the reward, congrats dude from one Marylander to another
What a trip man. I actually just did a delivery on a sailboat I bought in Brick, Nj. Brought her down to Cape May took 18 hours. Awesome video bro. Good luck with everything
Barnegat inlet is absolutely no joke to navigate. I laughed my ass off on that 8ft roller. That bay has very good crabbing and fluke fishing.
I can’t relate more to when you said “i can’t undo that” haha nice meeting you the other day at the marina!
Thanks for saying hi! Good luck with ur cruise boat!
You are absolutely hilarious! Totally enjoyed the narrating. As confuses says, Beware of Jaws 😂 Be safe in your travels always.
Love your attitude! Good luck son. 🎉 looking forward to next leg of the journey. Best wishes!

I work in Law Enforcement and when my wife says “be safe” I also say “ I’m always safe except for when I’m not “.
I like that answer!
"Stay dangerous hermano" what my buddys say to me before doing sketchy shit like trying to jump a log in a mud boat
I always say “You know me…safety third…”
I would always tell me there is no fun in being safe. Especially to my dispatchers. Then I would follow it up with “hope it stays quiet”. If you know…. You know.

Luke great job with the TH-cam! Congrats on making an honest bride out of that girl! Best of luck with the new boat may she sail the sea till the end of time!
It like identical to the key west 40 I used to work on. Great boat, tank of all tanks!
I lost it. "This sun of a gun has heat... That or something is about to catch on fire." I haven't laughed that hard in forever!
Epic bro!! Cant wait to see how this all pans out! What a fun youth you are having
You both are great together! Made me happy watching this
Like the name on ur boat , enjoy all ur videos. Great content. Keep it going my friend..

Right on Brother! Got a slip for ya in Chesapeake City if ya need it!

Just subbed I thought I was your not stupid at all mister like watching you thanks for taking us with you👍
Totally invested in your journey! Best of luck.
Yo! Loving the longer form content! Looking forward to following the trip.
Thanks for watching should be an adventure!
Diesel engines will last damn near forever if taken care of and the Deadrise is one of my favorite boats. I think you will enjoy it for many years.
My favorite response to "Be safe!" When I know I'm about to do something that's inherently not safe is: "I'll do my best!"
I once lived in Pasadena at the top of the Magothy River. Very nice area. But I like it down here in the Cape Canaveral area now better!
That thing reminds me of some of the tour boats I've been on in the Caribbean back in my cruising days. lol
Broo your great! Love from the Olney area, keep it up
Hey youngblood i really enjoy your drive and work ethic keep it up
Love your new crabbing boat!
I want to go for a cruise when you get it home! I'll bring the beer! I like the boat.
Thanks sounds good!
Congratulations on your engagement!!
It'll work. You've got this. Don't worry😎
Thank you!
