You about summed it up. Some people clean them aka remove the shell before boiling them.

We were down @ SeaRim a few months ago camping. We caught enough for two different meals (as a side dish) with 4 of us eating. We did clean them like Bill Oxner said and my wife boiled them with nothing but water.
I kid you not, they were outstanding. We even had melted butter and I didn't bother using it. We even got meat from the claws.
Press for an AMERICAN.

Fill pot 2/3 with water Add: Crab Boil, Salt, Onions, Garlic, lemons (you want the water red and salty) Optional: Potatoes and Corn (fresh) Bring to a boil (if adding potatoes boil for about 15 mins) Add Crabs (whole) Bring to a simmer Simmer (10 mins) Turn off fire (add enough ice to lower the temp and stop cooking) Cover and soak for 30 mins.
If you just boil them they will not soak up any seasoning. Soaking them is the key!

With out having a limit on crabs you can throw one heck of a party off the cost of fuel and some chicken necks.

Steaming them is better - "Chesapeake style".
