    I don’t know why I watch this channel. I can’t remember how I started. I don’t fish. But I was pulled in by the charm and the charisma. All of it has been worth it to watch this video. Your pure unadulterated joy at finally succeeding was like a thousand Christmas mornings distilled into one. The only thing I thought was missing was that you looked a little lonely. Then we got that absolutely perfect dance sequence. Who knew Davey would look so good in a tux. I thought your joy was the appropriate way to launch the Itty Bitty but I was wrong, it was the dance. You have my congratulations, but you don’t need the validation of the internet, you have your friends, your accomplishment, and the Itty Bitty!

    I followed this project since the day you and your dad went to pick it up. The day you parked it in your garden and started to strip it out. I will never forget the day you hooked her up and nervously drove down the road to the fibreglass shop. She was a skeletal wreck.
    The day you revealed the Yamaha motor in the crate-every emotion from worrying about whether did I the right thing to ask for help. AYO, I followed every episode, and when she ploughed through the water, it made my day. LONG LIVE THE ITTY BITTY. Thank you for a wonderfull voyage.
    I am now waiting for the first Davey Gravely fishing expedition.

    When you first hole shot, keep the engine a little higher than full down. You have enough bow weight that you don’t need to have it trimmed 100% down. Once you are up on plane, trim it up slowly until you see the speed stop increasing. Tap it back down a click, and that will be your best cruising trim for speed and economy. Great work with the restoration! She’s beautiful!

You have had a lot of obstacles in your way, but you have persevered and made everything happen that needed to. You've got more guts and ambition to do this project than you give yourself credit for. I'm very proud of you. Your Houseboat is beyond beautiful. It looks like something that has come off a showroom floor. Please, what ever you do. Don't let some of the friends you have that often take advantage of you hog your boat up and disrespect it. Keep it the way it looks now and I'm certain it will last you the rest of your life. Awesome job my friend.

    You should try to hook up with Bluetti and get yourself a portable power unit to run your power needs to supplement the generator which means no fumes or noise all day then when you need it kick on the generator. I know they have sponsored some other RUclipsrs with smaller channels than yours. The power and change time they supply is truly impressive. I’ve rebuilt a few houseboats over the years, so I know how much work went into that and you did an amazing job! I love it! ❤

    I used to be very able-bodied. I'm still relatively young. A few months ago both of my kidneys failed. I almost died. I was in the hospital for a month. Now I have to go to dialysis every MWF at 4:30am and sit hooked up to a machine for 4 hours before work. I also recently found out that I have cancer. Today I scheduled surgery to hopefully get the cancer taken out of my body. The wait-list for a kidney is like 5 years. I try to take things day by day but often it's extremely hard for me to stay positive because the road to recovery is so long. This video was the thing that made me smile today. It reminded me that sometimes the journey is long and arduous, but perseverance is a virtue, and those who persevere in the face adversity can sometimes find a great reward if they make it through the hardship. Thank you for being you Ayo, and for all the things you do for this community.
