My dad always told me the two happiest days of a boat owners life are the day you buy it and thw day you sell it.
Same with a Corvette
You're totally right. Two weeks after I bought my first boat, a guy at the gas station told me the same thing. Now, after owning it for 3 years, his words echo through my mind. 😢
@@richhorning2756what happened with the boat?
@@vinylSummer still got it. Used it 3 times due to a leg injury.
Depends on how big the boat is. The bigger you go, the more of a hassle it is. That's why kayaking is dope haha
"We have a plan, it's not a good one." Those are usually the best plans.😂
Having a bad plan is better than no plan.
Somehow, 'I love it when a plan comes together!", seems wholly appropriate, lol! 😂😂😂
I was thinking the same exact thing lol
Haha that is most of my life
😂😂😂
“Cant tie a knot, tie a lot!” Im sooo stealing that line lol
Same here 😂
Tie a many knot if y can't tie a knot.. lol.. I've used that line on so many green horns over the years on the commercial fishing vesels I worked on over the past 35 yrs. Scallop, squid, sea bass, fluke, skup. Missing it alot since 2029. Hey how can I get a crab shirt Skipper????
It took my moms husband one time to say that to me.. after that day I learned how to tie all kinds off knots. I laughed in embarrassment 😂😂😂

I always use way to my ratchet straps when I’ve got load but when I’m asked why I have/use so many I say “because it’s cheaper than an insurance deductible” or even just screwing someone else’s day up.
This kid’s parents did an amazing job! Just the nicest young man, always says the right thing!
Editing will do that
@@JB-uv4hmhaving enough cash in hand that you don’t really gotta worry about your time helps too.
"...gave you a zero percent chance of doing that," "those are pretty good odds to me"
Man your optimism knows no bounds
😊
Then the neighbor comes out to ask for his boat back 😂😂
So you’re saying I’ve got a chance
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He said "about zero." Which means there's a chance
@ryanlueth1510 excellent catch there!!!! He didn't say Zero...he said "about" hence referencing a number other then 0
Growing up on my grandfather's farm, One of the important things that he tough me was ( Never expect a handout, an always try to lend a helping hand. ). Cause one day you may need it too.
He didn’t teach you how to spell
So you’re essentially saying dont expect help from others but help them if they need it? I get the idea but sheesh
I think that’s a good way to teach a child but maturing is realizing that you should help others selflessly. Everything is equal in our universe so because so much bad happens for no reason we must counter it with good for no reason but simply to be good for
@@mikehunt3420 never expect or rely on someone to come help u and save the day; but always be willing to help and save others 🙌🏽
Never expect a handout but give people handouts, at least i know why he was stuck on a farm!
"When neighbors need help, give'em a hand"
If everybody lived by these words, communities would be a hell of a lot better!!!! 💯💪🍻
True, but many of my neighbors are morons.

It doesnt count as help if you literally expect to buy it after "for free" 😄😂
Some of mine don't even say hi... damn shame cause a block party sounds legit rn.
I live in Rhode Island and i lost my home to a fire and i bought my home when i was pregnant with my twins. We had it for 12 years and it was small but it was my first house we owned and it was the ugliest but it only took about two months and made it the nicest. I am happy the kids were in school when the fire happened. I was at work and the husband was at walmart. Some stranger walking the streets saw the smoke and our dog was in the window so my front door got kicked in and my dog was let loose which i was happy she was alive. But i wish i was home when the fire started then my life wouldn't of turned into a nightmare. I found out we had no insurance and in order to repair our home we had to pay out of pocket. So we did start buying materials needed and drained our savings on hotel, we had to buy the kids and myself new cloths ours wore on the kitchen table thats where i fold them and separate and the kids put away when the get home from school. And all the cloths gone😢 then living in the hotel we stopped paying full amount on mortgage to help pay for hotel,food, etc then dcyf came to the hotel to see if the kids were ok. I explained kids were in school and no one was home time of the fire. They seemed nice they brought the kids games and gift card to walmart to buy the kids what they needed so my dad passed away 3 weeks after my fire. My mom died when i was only 32. I was a daddy's girl and i then got my car of my dreams repo this car was my dream car and my husband bought it for me. This is a car i can't ever buy again. We paid $ 32,000 on it and we should of paid for the car off when we bought it but the guy who sold it to us said i had no credit and i should not pay it in full take a loan for $ 15 grand. So i got the loan and paid monthly until the fire. I only owed $ 2 grand on it and i didn't know who towed the car but i called the bank that gave me the loan they told me they will call be back and set up a new payment plan so that was good but 10 days later the bank hasn't called me back so i do some research and found out it was auctioned off. I went into bad depression. Then dcyf came back to the hotel and took my kids away !!! They said i was homeless but at the time we were living in the hotel and our house. They put my kids into foster care and my son was sexually molested and i couldn't take it and tryed to end it. I am fighting to get my kids back we lost our home we ran out of money the house needed more and more things to be fixed. Then found a house we rented while going to court for my kids. We finally got the judge to see i don't drink,do drugs or even it my kids. To rip them from me was horrible i cryed day and night. I went threw miscarriages and 5 ivf cycles before having my son. Then less than 2 years after my son was born i had my twins. I felt like my prayers were answered i was finally a mom and loved it. We started family traditions like easter eggs,birthday parties, apple picking and pumpkin picking then Thanksgiving with family and friends then we made christmas cookies for family and friends and then we picked out fresh christmas tree and on Christmas eve i would get the kids ready for bed and then we jump on my bed and i read them the night before Christmas just like my dad did for me as a child. I was truly blessed until dcyf stepped into my life. I then found out the kids were going to be reunification with us !! Finally then i get a note taped to my front door that the land lord sold the house we were living in and asked us if we wanted to stay and we did. We meet the new land lord he moved in up stairs ( the house is a 2 family) and after 3 months of the new land lord owning the house he get told we need to move out due to he needed a family member to move in. Now the judge is giving us the kids back and i am homeless. We live pay check to pay check. I had 2 jobs until covid i was working almost 60 hours a week and my husband is on disability. I need help and posted for help with housing the judge gave us until the next ccourt date to find a new place to live. I put my name and story in the libraries for help and churches for help then i am on waiting lists for low income housing and some of these waiting lists have a 5 years wait. I wish i could get help i can't lose my kids. I have no family both parents passed away and no grandparents so i am trying to get my story out there and pray to God someone will see this and can help me in any way😢
Now ALL the switches, wiring, electronics…anything electrical, engine needs work, but I have to admit I really enjoy this part because now I can set it all up the way I would have wanted it to begin with. Congratulations. Nice project. Will be awesome when done.
This likely will be a miserable, headache, waste of time, sold to the next dummy who thinks he's saving money by doing it himself, but it ends up a money pit with little enjoyment after the first year. A terrible investment, terrible toy, honeymoon period wears off quickly & becomes a mistake for 95+% of owners.
Thankfully, I listened to other's stories. Don't lie, best day off your life will be when you sell it for half price. That's why the owner gave it away.
That’s a great philosophy, “when the neighbors need help, give ‘em a hand” my uncle was a 6”5’ outlaw, biker from West Philadelphia. One mischief night someone poured tar all over his Cadillac. His African-American neighbor “Mr. Harvey” didn’t particularly like my uncle, but came out and helped him get the tar off of his car with a solution he had in his garage. The two of them became good friends, and looked out for each other till the day my uncle died. Thank you Mr. Harvey and God bless you and God bless my uncle Jim RIP….
I like this story.
Your awesome 😂 keep spreading love Brother
My 2 oldest sisters tarred one of my dad's cars like that. He said he came home from work and they both had paint brushes in their hands painting the car.
This kid has a truck load of personality. He needs his own show. 😂🤣
I'm stealing the "if ya can't tie a knot, tie a lot." Line. That's gold!!! 😂😂
He is a man have respect
Boat load
Not really
Cheapest boat is always the most expensive.
People don’t realize how accurate you are with this. Bravo 👏
I don't get it explain?
@@doublew030I don't get it explain?
@@rohanlandalots and lots of money to restore vs a little maintenance here and there on a nice boat
Yup. After buying one for what I thought was a good deal....the boat place called me up cuz I was getting it summerized...
Kept calling me with problems...at 2200.00 bucks I said "if you call me one more time… I will plant it in my front yard use for a flower pot and call it a day!"
😂 Cash traps.
I had an old friend who had a Chris Craft cabin cruiser (40 to 50 ft I'm guessing) that he kept moored in a slip at the lake, and it needed to be dry-docked for hull repair, as it had developed a slow leak.
He didn't have time to get to it, so he had two float controlled bilge pumps plugged into shore power (2 purely for redundancy) and yet, every now and then, he'd get a call from neighbors or a manager telling him his boat had sunken again, and was about to damage the slips.
Once because the extension cord came unplugged, another time the power was out for over a day and the pumps were too far behind the curve to catch up and outrun the rate of inflow, and other times trash blocked the pump inlets and caused them to fail, etc.
I helped him unsink that thing a couple different times with 2 and 3 inch trash pumps. But the 3 engines being underwater so many times (2 flathead stern-drive V8s and a 4 cylinder generator) and the collective water damage to the hull both inside and out, along with the cabin damage, etc, and the boat was just a discouragingly expensive project awaiting execution...
(Chris Craft boats were 100% wooden boats from the 40s and 50s era... beautiful machines! )
He made the right choice when he cut his losses and sold it off to somebody you had the time and means to fix her up right in a full dry restoration.
Friend of mine has a 40’ or 42’ steel Chris craft roamer from the early 60s. I’ve cruised Lake of the Woods end to end countless time on it. Amazing boat!
He should have done that before it sank all those times how stupid to do it after all the damage was done
@@brendangibbons6094 Agreed. Sometimes life just gets on the way, I guess.
"can't tie a knot, tie a lot"
This is totally me 😅
Im definitely going to start using this phrase now 😀
Old army dude told me this one years ago and has stuck with me
Or, you can make it easier on yourself, and just learn to tie at least a few different knots. Not saying learn a whole books worth of them, but at least 3 or 4 that have many different uses.
Yea 100% stealing that
That saying has been around longer than anyone here commenting.
@@Notyourphone. cool
Luke is very humble but he is very knowledgeable and articulate. He can bring in the viewers very naturally. He is a great spokesman for the Bay , the industry, and small businesses.
He will go far.
"When a neighbor needs help, give them a hand". Thats a VERY good man right there!
No he's not because his intentions were of greed and not of help at all
@@draiyko He recovered the boat. Then he asked if the guy wanted to sell it. Even if the owner said No, the boat was still recovered. So take a hike spike, your a loser.
You always help the neighbors even if they didn't ask for help. They'll remember your kindness. I also pay my neighbors with booze, Merlot (Palermo) for the Eastern & Scotch for the Western neighbor. A little generosity goes along way.
Good man. I been a helping hand man all my life. Had some people do me wrong even after helping them and still burn me. Those people I jus cut off because I’m knowing that friends like me dnt come around often. Stay tru and god bless guys.
"That's not ideal." 😂😂😂
Spoken like a true professional.
This kid is awesome this is the kind of young man young boys should look up too...young man gets things done hes polite and has a go getter attitude and knows some stuff for admirable
Most young people are exactly like this young man. In my experience its gen x and above that are entitled pissants that do nothing but cry and kick ladders from underneath them
They'd rather admire a pimp/human trafficker.
He's a success already! People like this guy can always get a job, a reference, etc. They know how to hustle (in an honest hard work way).
Best things parents can teach their kids are these--how to talk to people, how to get a job done. That way he'll never be hungry, can always pick himself up off the ground and bounce back better than the last time, if necessary.
Lots of times, bad stuff just happens, like that boat sinking. This lesson is how to see the opportunity and work hard to create the best outcome.
Woke up at our camp site to see the boat across the inlet sitting on the bottom. Owner had left the drain plug out.
Got two guys on each dock. Slipped a rope under front and back. Raised it to the gunnells and started bailing. Got it up in no time.
Owner took the moter apart and back together that day... on the water that evening!!!
Also all the love for the knot line - the “we had a plan, not a good one” line deserves some love too
ABSOLUTELY!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Right up there with "I said I had an idea I never said it would work."
The neighbor sentiment isn’t shared enough with the younger generation I feel, and I’m only 25. Thanks for that, great short video crammed with lessons / takeaways. Life is what you make it!
I like this guy. Love how he believes in hard work and just being a good person with a positive outlook even in crappy situations
It really is half of life's fked automatically defeated..

Can't tie a knot, tie a lot! This dude is legit!
Thats the motto i live by lol
I'm going to use that for people who insist on the FG knot is good for joining fishing line. That knot is the DEFINITION of "tying a lot"!
Man, growing up on the seacoast of New England and about an hour away from the lakes region, I know absolutely zero about boating. And still, watching someone so passionate, knowledgeable and positive about anything is very entertaining. I could watch someone with this type of attitude count stars and I’d be enthralled.
So nice to see somebody helping instead of pirate Salvage When people's boat sinks on the dock nobody should have the right to touch it good job guys thank you
Good man helping out the neighbors
When you go straight from crabbing to salvaging.
Thank you State Farm for assisting us ❤
Like a good neighbor, this guy is there
I just read this with the StateFarm jingle music in my head
He doesn't exactly resemble Jake, the State Farm guy!
@@cforte0423hahahaha exactly 😂😂
I didn't know I need that blast from the past, thank you.
@@cforte0423 I can't read it any other way. I've honestly tried.
Your a good man , a great friend , and you like helping people , and not afraid to get your hands dirty ! What a great world it would be if more people tried to help instead of get in the way !
This dude had some awsome adults that raised him wow .. we need more of this in the world ❤
Yes sir, no doubt!
Kids that take random peoples boats? that guy who owned it had a recovery service ordered for 2 days after. This man just stole it
@@Dan-rf3gfthis dude bought the boat after helping get it off the bottom. He saved the guy money getting it raised. The owner probably had fines headed his way if he left it there.
Additionally, police reports are still a thing. If he stole it, there's a lot of witnesses and/accomplices as well as video evidence.
he is such a hero of the world unsinking a boat and then buying what a fucking hero mate!
Same. Would love to buy his folks a beer.
This dude is so real that it's almost painful. 😂 man, stay you no matter what, you seem like a really good guy.
"Boat Acquired" 😂
“If you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot” is a lifestyle that I never knew I was living. Literally and figuratively. Thanks for that line, dude. I’m taking it with me now.
You're a good man Luke. Nice job.
He talked about taking this guy boat or buying it for cheap. Bro WHAT
Wonder where this is . I see the boat is registered in Missouri . I grew up at Lake of the Ozarks but those don’t look like the docks there for the most part .
We had a guy in the back of our cove who we saw almost every day take his beautiful 1963 Century Resorter with the rolling top and the carrier deck ( like the front of an aircraft carrier ) out the cove setting on the gunnel like a stud ( not that it’s a smart thing to do) and he would come back on in the evening . One day my dad is fishing in the back of the cove and it’s up on the lift with a for sale sign on her . My dad bought that gorgeous boat for $500.00 ! Best ski boat we every had , big V8 would yank your ass outta the water on your slalom ski no damn problem . Loved that boat ! At start up it would shoot the water out the exhaust about twenty feet with that deep throaty exhaust!
Those beauties can go well over $50K or higher now days ! Wish he would have kept her ;(
Looks like a good bay boat. Add a pot puller, might be good for scouting. Engine turns over, good move flushing out the head - even remembering to pull the plugs first. Replace the lower unit and you might be good if the hull can be drained and dried with low pressure air! Good catch!
That's funny how do you tell someone your boat sank without telling them your boat sank ?
Get the motor running and sell it. Repower it. Nothing like a fresh motor!!
20 year old with a lifetime of knowledge already. Good job man!
I was the FNG on a dock building crew when I first heard the line "if you can't tie a knot, tie a lot" 😂
Brilliant you’re a hard-working young man. God bless you. Keep up the good work and you have a terrific personality. You are truly gifted and you bring a smile to our faces with your videos because you’re genuine. God bless my friend. Vincent.
" I gave you about a zero percent chance of success on that!"
"Thise are pretty good odds today!"
This man isn't a half glass kinda guy, he's the the whole boat is full kinda man. Love his enthusiasm. His parents did a fantastic job of raising a caring man. 👏 gained a follower here for sure. Hope nothing but succes for this young gentleman.
In all fairness hes bailing while its still under water. You've got to get more air into the pockets and raise it up.
“If you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot.” Man I grew up fishing on the ocean on the west coast I’ve never heard this😂 Legend🤣
East coast things
@@johnf5068West coast da best coast! (I actually dgaf, I live in neither areas)
probably because the people you were around just knew how to tie knots ?
Not good for fishing as knot strength does not change but unraveling fixed
I worked on sportfishing boats on the west coast I’ve heard that plenty haha
The most positive, optimistic guy around! Keep it up man!
You were raised well young man.
That Dad's doing a great job with this little guy. Plenty of personality and positivity in his life.
Can’t tie a knot tie a lot haha
that one made me lol. so true!
The ol’ knife knot lol
It used to be said that a boat owner's 2 happiest days are the day they buy it, and the day they finally sell it.
This guy has embraced that, happily!
Love it man. Real man shit.
“That’s not ideal” yeah you can tell this kids spent a lifetime on the water, I love it.
Luke is amazing! A really good businessman!
this is the second video i seen with you ...great to see someone so hardworking and positive!!! people that make strong communities
nice boat very nice! Also the dam that controls the height of the lake broke, and the lake ROSE UP. Our neighbors all helped the "weekender/summer people" by raising the tie downs on the boats at the docks and saving so many! It's just a simple small middle class type lake with tiny cabins people have built or their grandparents built, but...neighbors are neighbors and we'd never weekend/summer anywhere else!
to my understanding if a boat is sunken, and you can prove that you pulled it out of the water to the coast guard and another agency or w/e, you legally become captain. my coworker told me something about that since he was in boat transportation for a few decades
If your trying to apply salvage law to peoples personal boats then you've definitely misunderstood the intent of the law. Especially since everywhere in it it says a "abandoned vessle" if you think a boat at a dock is abandoned just because it's sunk your a idiot. Also no salvage law doesn't say you get to keep the boat anyways. It says you must be cominsated based on value and risk. But "In the case of a derelict vessel the title remains in the owner, with a temporary right of occupancy for salvage in the finder"
Salvage law is basically a littering fee for the ocean. If you try to apply it in little bays like this your almost certain gonna get a civil lawsuit for theft. Especially since you dony know how to do it legally even if it was in sea
Can’t tie a knot, tie a lot!. Sounds like a slogan for some merch that I would definitely buy 🤣🤣
I’ll give you $300 plus trailer
ive seen a couple other videos of this guy. he knows how to work. gotta respect that
You’re a true human being! So refreshing ❤
Did this with our neighbors boat about 20 years ago. Amazing what about can do with some ratchet straps, a few pumps, a bucket, and a little luck.
This guy is as KOOL as the underside of your pillow
I first read that in an Archie comic book 45 years ago. Thanks for the memory!

@@ChoCho-ow7gn thirsty work sinking your neighbours neighbours boat then refloating it😁
You killed me with the if you can't tie a knot tie a lot that is the realest thing I've ever heard anybody else say
I have never been on a boat in my life unfortunately.
You are missing out! Maybe book a day charter with a group of friends. Sharing the costs helps a lot.
You had me at, "that's not ideal". "Metaphor for my life" finished me off. You are stunning. Keep on stylin' boyo.
What a good young feller!
My friends and I got a free catamaran when it haf sunk next to our tug. The owner of the dock just wanted it removed, and we offered some assistance. Rammed it up onto shore with the tug, and when the tide went out it was grounded. Replaced the bilge pumps and she floated. Repaired the hole in the back we made ramming it on shore n restored her to her previous glory over the course of 2 years. Spent more on mooring fees than on repairs
Your actions were rewarded with a medalion 😊
I spent some time in the navy and thought I knew some slang. “Can’t tie a knot, tie a lot” is now my favorite
Your a good dude man
The inner tubes don't need to be joined by anything else but a tube running through them and enough pressure powered through the holes in the end of the air hose which has weight when filled with water and rolled up.
Can it tie a knot tie a lot classic
Damn right. When neighbors need help you help. Born in 1949 it's how I was raised.

Dude so good to see you having a win. Saw your video of the new hot your bought that got trashed. That was gut wrenching. Make sure you put state of the art real time alarm system on your next one so if they return they can’t stay long and totally strip it. Best wishes.

The way this dude says “boat” makes me chuckle every single time
Hey it was neighborly of you to help outwits a huge loss ❤🙏🏻🇺🇸
"if you can't tie a knot, tie a lot😂" that's such a great saying. Definitely gonna use that
Below a dam I parked my boat ashore. 2 days in a row as we were camping my boat was under water. It was a chore to get the water out with only a wash basin.
Great thing was the 50 Merc started
both times.
As a retired US Coast Guard "coastie" I recommend a gas powered de-watering pump. Works super fast.
That's a nice looking fishing boat too its a good size center console. That motor looks to be way more trouble than its worth, which is a shame as they are expensive. A very good flush out to remove as much salt as possible with a good clean will scrub up very nice hull.
Those accents just brought me all the way back to Baw-mer County Meerland, hon.
That’s right, brother; when the neighbour needs help, be there. That’s how you get a decent community.
It’s a good thing y’all did that, them boats are expensive in my area, no really, for you it’s probably 30-40k but for us it’s between 60-70k
I know exactly where this is. Love seeing my home get more spotlight

How you know this young man has had a Dad present in his life. Bet you a 10 piece his dad is funny as hell!
A friend and I acquired a 22 ft Aquasport that way in the marina where I lived aboard my sailboat. It might have been a tad easier than this because it was in a covered slip. So, we had the beams to use with come-alongs and pumps.
I’m 72, spent my summers at my Memaw’s summer house on Bodkin Creek. As soon as I saw this I thought of her.
We've pulled a big tarp around them, pulled it up to the sides of the boat and then pumped the water out with a trash pump.
I like the sayings, 'can't tie a knot, tie a lot.' and 'when your neighbor need help, give 'em a hand.'
He said, "metaphor for my life, right here."❤😂❤😂❤😂
At minimum you guys got this boat out for the person and then maybe even took it off their hands afterwards now that is what I call some neighbors. I like your attitude man you just make shit happen it's awesome
Cottage we were renting, had a major rainstorm. Neighbors weren't there, but had a boat at their dock. Just a simple aluminum fishing boat. But it now had 2-3 inches of water in it. So we bailed it out. As we were finishing up they showed up to bail it out. They were very thankful, but were amazed we had done it. My dad was like, "It's cottage country, you help your neighbors."
