Wayne please follow this project all the way through! I love old boats, Luke is a cool guy, he's smart and driven. I'm glad he is using this boat for this. It's always sad to see a boat get neglected and rot away to nothing. His idea to use it for a crab stand is genius! But the fact that he took it past just being an idea and actually getting it done is commendable!
I've been following Luke since last year. Serious respect for him and what he does and how he got started. Even more respect to his wife for being a fisherman's wife. I grew up on and around wooden boats.. even refurbished one with my father (round bottom Poulsbo Boat... Poulsbo, WA.)
Where Luke is from they don't refer to themselves as fisherman they are called waterman . And they are a great bunch of characters . I miss them , a fun group
I love how Luke shares so much knowledge about the Chesapeake fishery, and his knowledge of boats. I used to live in Solomon's Island MD, so its neat to see all this again. He better weld on that brass propeller, otherwise I could see it being stolen for scrap money.
Thank you Wayne for bringing back so many good memories of my time on the Eastern Shore and all the fun I had with the waterman hanging out and drinking with those guys. Those 15 + years are some of the best memories of my life . I miss the bay immensely
Loge watching Luke he is just like i was when i was his age full of energy and having loads of projects. Looking forward to seeing this one finished and selling crabs 🙏
Every project Luke takes on is fascinating. I enjoy his content and the fact that he keeps the watermen alive. It definitely is a dying breed. I hope with his knowledge and drive he brings it back.
Wayne, my guy!!!!! PLEASE, stay up to date with Mr. Luke McCrabben and his wonderful roadside shack build!!!! I follow Luke and all of his rather EPIC shenanigans as well, but I think your expert inquiry helped Ol’ LukeyBoy find, and explain in great depth, the details of the boat and the build that all us “down home” folk truly are looking for. So, THANK YOU Mr. Wayne, with lots of love see ya on the next oneS.
I have been following Luke for about a month now. I bought a SeaRay 39 Sport Cruiser in Pasadena MD. and we moved it 336 miles to Bridgeton, NC. by way of the Intracoastal Waterway. I have been living aboard it here since August, 2020. I wonder how Great the Dora Lynn would look with a natural wood finish on the outside of the hull. It would really show off the construction techniques mentioned by Luke.
Good morning guys I grew up working on Wooden Boats both fishing and fixing there are a lot of work but it sure sounds nice to listen to the water against them at night time when you're sleeping it is a dying art I've built a lot of wooden Skiffs still like my wood for fiberglass over wood also I spray polyurea bed liner material for the lay person to understand a little more intense than that but I spray that right over the wood
Thanks for the update on Luke’s project Wayne he’s gotten a lot done since he just posted his vid on towing the boat home, being a retired boat builder it’s sad to see this boat just being used as a prop , I myself would have glassed the hull but that’s just me, I hope the crab stand works out for Luke , but that’s going to be a lot of work to add to his load, then he’ll really be crabby 🦀
Yes, please Wayne, keep us posted on this project. It's a bit sad this historic boat won't return to the water but at least it won't get forgotten somewhere in the mud until it gets completely rotten.
Luke seems to be a smart guy, you can tell he loves the boat. I would like to see the progress on video over time. Would be a great project. Luke is right good Idea for a resterant
I follow Luke on TH-cam, so I am aware of his project. I think that you should follow this build, as your commentary adds to the story. I enjoy learning about the history of these boats and I think it's cool what Luke is doing with this boat to preserve it in maybe a not so common manner. I'm sure your audience will like this content as well. Best of luck to both of you.
That hull shape reminds me of the 104' army rescue vessel hull conversion that i work on for 22 years . With two 6-71s. 3 to 1 twin disc transmissions. 32x32 three blades props. At 1,800 rpm the gps showed 18 knots. The one i worked on was conventionally planked. Some were cross planked. I totally agree that wooden boat hulls are a lot of upkeep. Took us months to replank one side above the water line. Replace and sister rib so many . We rolled on and tipped 8 gallons on z-spar white one hot summer night in LA harbor at newmarks under the orange sodium lights. I said. John. This paint looks pink. Nah he replied. Its just the sodium lights. We hit our cabins about 2 am. In the morning it was pastel pink. We called the paint supplier. On that batch was recalled. Just bring it back. Took a few months but it faded to white.
Luke you should go check with my freind jeff at chesapeake maritime museum he is about to start rebuilding a dead rise you can talk to a professional about how they where actually built
5:45 it bad luck to rename a boat anyway, the only time you can name a boat is when she's been built. And if you rebuild a boat, at that time depending on how much she's been rebuilt, the bad luck ain't as bad
12 years ago i picked up a 1960 wooden Norwegian 13.10 meter fishing trawler for the price of £1 as needed about 30% of the boards replacing and to tow it the 16 miles back to my boat yard we had to use a crash pump just to keep up with the water after getting it back to my yard we got the boat lifted up on the hard and i spent the next 4 months stripping and replacing wood then fiberglassed the full boat and ended up fitting it out as a liveaboard and spent 2 years in there and then sold it on
Please keep us up on this project! Have you been to the Chesapeake Maritime Museum in St. Michaels? A video tour would be a good episode for this channel. If you don't want to shoot the whole facility, do a doc on the active historic boat yard they have on the property. There are some craftspersons there that are super cool and have world-class skills.
So neat! I wonder if he'll have a top open Freezer where the engine box is to store the crabs. If he needs help modifying the freezer to warm temps to make it like a top open fridge, let me know!
I'm kind of disappointed that he isn't putting the boat back in the water but I also understand why he isn't. Maybe he'll make enough money from his crab sales to save a couple of other ones.
Anybody out there smarter than me know if this hull could be 3D scanned to document it before it gets turned into a roadside stand? I would personally love to have this available to build a RC hull or a full size if I ever win the lotto one day…I would help or contribute a few bucks to the cause. Or maybe one of the bay museums would help out?
That certainly could be done but it would be a huge project and probably be a very heavy boat. I think all moisture and rot would have to be removed for it to stick which would require a lot of wood to be replaced.
Too bad it’s not gonna splash again … sometimes , if ya throw enough money at anything , you can bring it back to life !!! … start a “bring back the Dora Lynn “ campaign at the restaurant and in the community … ya never know till ya try !!!
There’s several others around that hopefully will get saved and have a second life on the water. Some people have converted these into pleasure boats, but this one can certainly make an impression on people and do great things in her next role.
The Dora Lynn my grandfather explained to me why you put your wife's name on your boat it started with carving her name in the ax add gutter to chop more wood you want your wife on board not literally meaning that she supports what you're doing her name better be on that boat comes with all of her support
Here is Luke’s video of dragging this boat across the bay.

Wayne-
I follow Luke on his channel, but it’s very interesting to see a different facet of his work and his business
Subscribed 👍
Its not goi g in the water.
I actually follow Luke as with you. He has fantastic content. He's a real go-getter he's going to do great in life👍👍
He is a very hard worker!
Would love more updates on his project! Keep em coming!
Will do!
he just dropped it on his channel a couple days ago, he got it mostly done and set into his lot
I've been following Luke since last year.
Serious respect for him and what he does and how he got started.
Even more respect to his wife for being a fisherman's wife.
I grew up on and around wooden boats.. even refurbished one with my father (round bottom Poulsbo Boat... Poulsbo, WA.)
Where Luke is from they don't refer to themselves as fisherman they are called waterman . And they are a great bunch of characters . I miss them , a fun group
Huge fan of you and Luke. Please continue to collaborate, I'll be here for every one of them.
I love how Luke shares so much knowledge about the Chesapeake fishery, and his knowledge of boats. I used to live in Solomon's Island MD, so its neat to see all this again. He better weld on that brass propeller, otherwise I could see it being stolen for scrap money.

Please keep us. Up to date on the boat project. Thank you, very entertaining. Love them old boats.
I still use my fathers 36 ft Paul Jones wood dead rise work boat , built back in1971 crabbing in the Choptank river, with a 3208 cat, still all wood
Get us a video of it, brother!
Loge watching Luke he is just like i was when i was his age full of energy and having loads of projects. Looking forward to seeing this one finished and selling crabs 🙏
Every project Luke takes on is fascinating. I enjoy his content and the fact that he keeps the watermen alive. It definitely is a dying breed. I hope with his knowledge and drive he brings it back.
He is doing his part that's for sure!
I’ve been following Luke for a minute, love to see more content on your channel.
I could not be more proud of Luke if he were my grandson! I pray for him and his wife. This should improve his roadside business.
Follow Luke he is great young man really we need more people like him.
That’s so cool. Thx for sharing, I hope to see the progress. I appreciate your passion.
Good history and memories on that boat. Pretty cool.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I just your part on the news about the bridge incident...glad you are safe.
It’s beautiful. And I think the idea of making into a store front is so cool! I’m looking forward to seeing it come to life.
The barnacles were structural 😂 Wow. Glad it made the last trip
Very good subject, and I would like to see more in the future. Luke is keeping the history of the dead rise alive.
Good crabbing season for all.

Mad respect for Luke... My uncle's a crabber commercial fisherman out of Claremont Virginia...... Not too far
Wayne you're a hell of a guy too...
You always give credit where credit is due
I'd be proud to have those men help me build my boat I would be proud to help them build their boat
I’m glad that you’re following Luke . The more we can see the transition of this work boat to a crab store has our interest.
Sampson Boat Company is doing a wooden boat revival. It’s awesome.
Definitely follow along with the project
Yes, please Wayne, keep us posted on this project. It's a bit sad this historic boat won't return to the water but at least it won't get forgotten somewhere in the mud until it gets completely rotten.
Yeah and sadly many of these just slowly rot away.

Thanks for all the great content .I always look forward to watching all your videos😊
He did a great job going over the build design of the boat and his plans. Well done. Hope you bought him lunch.
Nice boat I'd love to see some more videos on it
Great Project! I enjoy following Luke and his channel as well! I look forward to the finished project!
Wayne i watch both you and Luke. You are both entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work
Luke you should go check with my freind jeff at chesapeake maritime museum he is about to start rebuilding a dead rise you can talk to a professional about how they where actually built
3:40 Luke buddy, that so true, the lobster boat we got has 8ft waterline to rail/tunnel cap, and that's a lift if the trap ain't just right😅
5:45 it bad luck to rename a boat anyway, the only time you can name a boat is when she's been built. And if you rebuild a boat, at that time depending on how much she's been rebuilt, the bad luck ain't as bad
9:21 agreed I can wait to sea how the young fella dose with his new merch shop 😉
I think that a crab stand is a good idea for that boat
New subscriber here
I follow Luke in his adventures.
And now I’m proud to follow you
Thanks!
I love this, great marketing idea and will become a known landmark in that town. So cool to see. I can’t wait to see it complete.

I think it cool what luke is doing and i wish him the best of luck 😊
Very enjoyable and Luke's expertise makes for some fascinating content - love the "the barnacles were structural" comment 😂
Deadrise refers to the angle of the transom methinks! The square footage is to pack max pots on!
Luke is very handy. He should build a new boat. He knows how to do it
Definitely show us some more!
Definitely want to see more on it!
Luke got you a Subscriber!
YES MORE OF THIS
Love Luke! Hi from June Lake California
It looks like the boat in Jaws where the head pops out at night during the under water inspection!!
Great video Wayne!
Very interesting,,, this is a great idea ,,, love your enthusiasm,,,about crabbing
Went out with Danny Antis in the late 90’s out of Guilford Creek. His Grandfather built a bunch of Deadrises and wahatever else you wanted. No plans.
Very cool! I would watch more on this 😊
Awesome, thank you!

Yeah that place is great!
Smith Island layer cake! Yummy!
Please continue the progress report on this project.
Will do!
I love an educated comment dropped in a sentence ‘free country for now’ what a great project and a source of education for years to come.
Great videos Luke. I used to work on them boats. Great idea using that for crab stand for your business.
Luke’s a creative guy!
So neat! I wonder if he'll have a top open Freezer where the engine box is to store the crabs. If he needs help modifying the freezer to warm temps to make it like a top open fridge, let me know!
Yes forsure i would like to follow Lukes journey
We love Luke

Its a free country for now!!!! No truer words said
Yes let's see more.
Excellent
Do keep up with this boat, thanks, Glenn H.
I would definitely like to see it when it's finished
I'm kind of disappointed that he isn't putting the boat back in the water but I also understand why he isn't. Maybe he'll make enough money from his crab sales to save a couple of other ones.
Port Townsend is a place wood boat
Lukes great.
Fer now .... how true Luke.
Bro what u doing, you should get both boats going 🦀 ing , have someone like me come work one
Should print some pictures to show the customer's along with the history of it?
Come back and show updates
I'd like to see it back in the water..
you could have little smaller kids play house boats around the store front property to get kids to drag their parents in as they drive by.
I think he’ll have no problem attracting customers!
JUST SUBSCRIBED Luke sent me 😅
Luke, are you near Nabbs Creek?
Very interesting
Thanks - I think so too!
Billy may have built that boat!
Anybody out there smarter than me know if this hull could be 3D scanned to document it before it gets turned into a roadside stand? I would personally love to have this available to build a RC hull or a full size if I ever win the lotto one day…I would help or contribute a few bucks to the cause. Or maybe one of the bay museums would help out?
What is the name of the boat?
Show everything about this boat please
Follow Lukes prohect all the way please
Did you know how they got the dead rise on a boat?
As a carpenter I can appreciate the wood, Butt, could you fiberglass over the wood ? And run it ? . . .
That certainly could be done but it would be a huge project and probably be a very heavy boat. I think all moisture and rot would have to be removed for it to stick which would require a lot of wood to be replaced.
💯👌
Because his mom, Gates Mc Fadden, said, engage.
Too bad it’s not gonna splash again … sometimes , if ya throw enough money at anything , you can bring it back to life !!! … start a “bring back the Dora Lynn “ campaign at the restaurant and in the community … ya never know till ya try !!!
