    For the longest time, I never knew what to say when someone asked me what I wanted for Birthday, Christmas, …. Then I bought an old house, several used cars, and a few used road bikes.

      My rule is to get good tools for anything you'll use more than a few times or anything that can kill me if it fails. Anything I will use seldomly or need to modify, I get the cheapest one that will work. Good tools can be mid tier stuff if it fits the needs. Like I have the harbor freight air impact gun. It's not the best, no where near the cheapest, but has a good rating, and not crazy price. I have the harbor freight snap on copy Jack. That's more expensive, and getting close to tool truck quality, but it's my most used tool probably. Lincoln mig welder, over harbor freight because I want something that will last, I'm just not sure of harbor freight mig welder quality (but I did get this nos for a good price). I have some cheap wrenches and sockets that were used to modify (thank you Chrysler), and a good amount of cheap stuff that I barely use. Hand tools are great to try to find used, you can get quality old stuff for a good price.

      @@arthurr8670 I’ve found eBay is a great source for used/new sockets, wrenches, specialty tools. Many sellers will break down sets so I can get the exact thing I need from craftsman, snap-on, wera without spending a fortune. But Harbor Freight is a bargain for those rarely used items

    I like older, tried and true things too. My house is 50 years old, Both of my trucks are over 20 yrs old and paid for (2001 Durango and 2003 Dakota) and they still run well! Plus I'd rather not see myself chained to a payment to just get from point a to b. I choose to not keep up with the Joneses. You're in much less debt that way 💵 your channel is becoming part of my daily routine. It's like taking a mini vacation on the Chesapeake from my carport in Alabama. Keep up the good work brother. I usually end up doing something around here after watching you do something to the boat. I ended up changing the front wheel hubs totally unplanned the other day 😂 I had the parts here for a while then I was like well "McFadden would've had these hubs replaced months ago, WTF am I waiting on? " So I friggin got busy. I was done an hour later. Keep your chin up man, these small issues will sort themselves out. Keep your stress levels low, go kayaking with your girl and kick back. Thank you for showing the real side of what you do, I can appreciate more what you do seeing the struggle and your positivity for leaning forward and getting through the day. I wish you many years of happiness and success!

    Hey Luke just found your channel a few days ago. I love your videos and they're just so entertaining and fun. I can't understand why you get haters when you're just an honest guy doing honest work; I think it's stupid and boils down to narrow minded idiots. When I was in Scouts I did a special summer camp program called High Adventure Sailing based out of Rodney Scout reservation in Northeast on the Elk Neck peninsula at the top of the Bay; we sailed on small intercoastal sized (35-50ft) sailboats out of Havre de Grace and had anchorages in the Fairlee Creek, the Magothy River, and the Patapsco in the Inner Harbor. It gave me a great appreciation for what an amazing body of water the Chesapeake is and filled my heart with a love for the open water. And yes, also with the frustration of boat ownership as the first time I did this trip, our night at anchor in the Fairlee involved me and the only Scout with any engine work experience helping to fix a clutch issue with the Yan-mar diesel on the boat I was on lol. Really drove home what my high school biology teacher and avid sailor said about having a boat: "Owning a boat and traveling in it boils down to fixing it in a series of exotic ports." Anyhow, love the channel, love your content, Lindsey is a gem and a total keeper, good luck brother and ignore the haters. Fair winds and following seas.

    A thought, use an electric power steering kit for that steering control. You can keep the same style handle but just like in a vehicle, you won't have to push on it as hard, so it won't get abused anymore. Those motors are crazy strong also, so i think you would have to change the linkage behind the cover, and make that stronger. It would probably take some time to make this conversion though, since it's a one off install, but it should fit well.
