This boat is the whole reason I’ve been following this channel. 😂 I cant wait to seen the next update.
Absolutely love your videos man
I've waited almost 2 years for THIS moment. First survival video on the Itty Bitty gone be a BANGER
itty bitty 1 week survival!!!
There’s no way it’s been 2 years since he bought the itty bitty🤯 guess I been subscribed for 2 years. That was the video I found Ayo with.
Please don’t say that… I’ve wasted the last 2 years of my Life and this guy built a F’N BOAT!!! 🤦🏼♂️ I need to get off RUclips….
Smfh. Says alot about your character
@@HOWBOXINGWORKS damnn bro. I hope you get some much needed help
Late night itty bitty update🫡
Let's gooo! 🥂
LETS GET IT 🤘🏽💀🤘🏽⁉️
Can't wait till you finish her
Appreciate the upload, you should probably invest in a large garage type structure that could fit boats
Started watching your videos a few months ago...and just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I admire you for just being you and not being one of those people that takes themselves so seriously. You admit your faults, you own your mistakes, and you move forward and have fun with it. Keep on keepin' on, brother! Keep putting up the great content, and good luck with all of your projects!
I'm sure this project is weighing heavily on your mind and finances.
I appreciate that you are taking the time to do it right and learning many skills along the way.
I've been watching Project Binky for 9 years now, we have the patience. 😄
Great to see it being done right tbh, can't wait for the videos when they finally start rolling out. 🥰
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2🙏=💩
I have been a subscriber since the beginning of the Itty Bitty project and it is starting to look like this might actually happen. Thank you to Shawn for his service and taking the shake out of the old girl. My only concern is that you have changed the weight distribution in that boat so much will all of the modifications that I hope it does not end up floating like cork on the water or riding so low that you are moving across the water like a snow plow. Can't wait for the next update. I am loving all of your content, AYO.
Such a fan of your tenacity over obvious inflections, as are my students. I'm a lecturer at James Cook university qld Australia. My expertise being genetics. Your site a fine example of "why not to inbreed" keep the laughter coming home boy
I just barely began watching this channel like 3 weeks ago and the whole itty bitty saga is what drew me in. I can’t imagine what everyone else is feeling seeing itty bitty float for the first time cuz it is amazing to watch even for a newbie fan like me
Why is it all you tubers only answer 1st few comments 😮
@@JustinKennedy-f5j I’ll respond to you brother 🥹🥹
Me too!!!
Andrew (AYO), I'm soooo proud of you for all your sweat and tears over the Itty-bitty ❤ 💙 ♥! My husband and I remember fondly seeing the Itty-bitty on the water at our local marina in Georgia back in her previous life there. She's soooo adorable 😍 and I Know she's proud of herself for finding you to rebuild her anew again !!! Your new "sweetheart has a soul 💖 of pure goodness mixed with a hint of spicy fire 😅🥂👍🍾👏 so she'll be good to you! My husband and I live in Georgia but also Motorcoach in Florida several months a year. Dang it, we'd love 💘 ❤ 😍 ♥ 💕 💗 💘 ❤ 😍 to see her once she takes her Maiden Voyage with you at the helm 😍🥰🤩😍😘🥂🍾! So there, sweet guy, challenge is ON! We (husband and I) always told you that you're our *RUclips Grandson* 🥰😊😄. 🤭!
Your production quality has sky rocketed, just wanted to say noticed. While the boat is taking a long time, your ability to produce engaging and enjoyable content has been gorwing rapdily. Thank you for the wonderful content man, I really appreciate being able to follow this project, and the various other videos you have been pumping out.
the house boat really has come a far way
I’ve been following this saga since the beginning. I’m always happy to get the updates. Nice job!
What an amazing moment to see the Itty Bitty floating! Huge respect for sticking with this big, expensive, out of your comfort zone project! Once done I'm 100% sure it will be worth it !
The Itty Bitty revenge tour around the country is going to blow the internet up. Take your time. Take care of your mentals. We're all with you on the journey man.
Nothing makes me happier on RUclips than to see you’ve posted a video. You are my favorite RUclipsr of all times. Your personality is awesome and contagious
Working with an RV company is smart. Bet they will do a nice job.
You will want to think about weight distribution, planing out, etc. Probably not in their wheelhouse, so putting tanks, etc. will be crucial.
I used to own one of these. Glad the RV guys will do the deserved justice the boat needs.
AYO, Let’s GO!!
I love it man I had to be the first one to like the video keep up the great work ayo!!
My Daughter lives in Jacksonville and yea it rains a lot good move going back north
Come to Michigan I need friends like yall ..
LET'S GO!! 💪
You drunk?! Or 11 years old!? One of the two.
This is my favorite aspect of what you're doing.... I can wait for the final product.
Dude Ayo, I don't care how few and far between the Itty bitty updates are. These are hands down one of my top 5 video series on RUclips to date. I know whenever you post that I am going to enjoy it. When its all said and done, the ol girls gonna be a Cadillac on the water.
I’ve never been more invested in the future off a boat than I am the Itty Bitty. This thing is unreal amazing and I am so stoked to one day happen to see that bad boy out on the water. You & Gravy should totally take the next year to take the itty on the ultimate challenge: the great loop in the bitty
The Itty-bitty has been no small feat. I think I speak for everyone when I say, I am so psyched !!! Has it been 2 years? Wow. Can't wait for the next one bro. 👍🧡✝️🇺🇸🧡👍
You gotta kit this out, full spec. Fish finder, HD TV, surround sound, BBQ, the lot. Then a little tour???? That would be sweet, home away from home. Love all the work you do AYO, keep them coming brother.
Take your time with the updates, make that boat right! You put in all that work and you should build something you're truly happy with! Thank you for sharing this journey with us to begin with.
Hell Yeah Brother !!! I hope everyone can appreciate the dedication this guy put into the ITTY BITTY 🤘
Great work AYO!!
I usually think houseboats look like floating mobile homes but yours has such a unique look. Coming from a guy who drives a school bus with a military trailer for my work van, I approve of the quirkiness!
the itty bitty is why i started watching this channel glad to see it back again
I absolutely love what you've done to the itty bitty. I can't wait to see you finish her.👊
I haven't laughed that much in a while. I live futher South from where the boat was in Florida. Those summer storms are crazy so funny seeing your struggles. Reminds me of something I recently went through that involved a chicken coop and tarps 😂 the chickens made it they are safe.
Many of us are too emotionally invested in this boat to let her sink! Love the ad read! 😄👍👍
I feel like the itty-bitty is all of our dreams finding a little shimmer of hope in a what looks like junk and making the envy of everyone cause it's just a 1 of a kind
I remember seeing the video of you getting this boat it is truely amazing to see how far it has come.
Three months later...
The boat looks great, I'll be back to see the next Itty Bitty video in 4 months.
Great editing. I liked the narration cuts to the bike.
It's awesome the Itty Bitty is going through this transformation and we are able to go along on the journey ! You have really given your viewers some terrific content .
Your getting so close! It's within Arms reach. Keep powering on.😊
LETS GO BOYS!!! THE ITTY BITTY UPDATE WE BEEN WAITING FOR!!
Can't WAIT to see Captain Gravy cruising the Itty Bitty..... please for the LOVE OF GOD buy him a captains hat and turn him loose!!! His comedic timing is on point, he never fails to make me snort with laughter.
Itty Bitty brings all the wasps to the yard.
I’ve been fallowing since the day you bought it and have no issues waiting for every single update. Looks awesome man!!
Like the way this video was edited. Nice work. Cool way to integrate the bike into the video. Well done!! ITTY BITTY FLOATS!!! Love watching you guys bring the boat back to life!!
I love this channel, AYO, and everyone that he has on with him... The best part is that I can watch it with my 8yo daughter because there is minimal if any cussing, minimal if any suggestive content, etc. On top of that AYO is always doing building challenges that teach my daughter about creativity when building, building principles (and sometimes what not to do lol), and thinking outside of the box. This is a great wholesome channel, great guy. Hard to tell if I like the guys and their antics more or the actual challenges and races etc. Good Luck man, thank you for creating! I hope the algorithm pushes your content out to more people and you can get to a million subs!
never thought this day would come😂
Same bro
Wow, I saw the finished product first, had no idea how much work you put into it, great job, well done, thanks for sharing
It's great to be so close to seeing the Itty Bitty finished!
As someone who worked on a boat for over two years, congrats on the milestone and keep grinding. Can’t wait to see that Yamaha pushing the itty bitty around
I can’t wait to see her done, and to hear your total cost to get her where she is at that time. Glad you got Davey involved.
ok
Good
You can launch a boat without getting wet! Connect a long rope to the forward cleat and disconnect the winch line on the trailer. Back the boat in with some momentum and then let the boat float off. Use the rope to control the boat as it floats off. You can also connect a line to front and back on the boat to have more control. Love the updates!
Proud of you boys! Keep up the good work!
Started watching this over lockdown, great series. You need a netflix show like Rust Valley restores where you find boats for people on marketplace and fix em up for them "Marketplace Mariners" 😂
It’s so crazy to see the progress over the past 2 years!
yea like he made a 2k boat into a 5k boat.. just cost him about 30k.. and 2 years..
Hit the back of those bolts with 2-3 passes of flex seal if you can, that has worked so well for me whenever I've had to put any hardware into/through the transom on my project.
Dude I'm so happy this has turned out for you I have enjoyed watching all your pain and stress and I will enjoy watching your success
Some helpful advice to all about tarps.
Get a heavy duty canvas tarp, or just a canvas tarp. They are hardier. Protect better, and don't get controlled by the wind as much. Hope it makes your lives easier to anyone that reads this.
You know it’s a banger when ayo posts 💪🔥🇺🇸🔥💪
Whenever working on, or near a boat, ... Always check the weather... The weather forecast will be your best friend.
The quality in the videos now are absolutely INSANE, a lot has to do with the videography. I will add that even though you've hired someone to follow you around, I like that you still vlog because it makes the video feel homemade and natural. Keep up the great work!!
Every time I see a video with a sponsor for an electric bike they always show a few glamour shots and talk about it for 30 seconds and that's it. This man rode it the entire video! I love that.
You've reached a substantial milestone in the itty bitty project. Congratulations dude
I would suggest moving the kitchenet to the upper deck. Washing dishes and cooking bent over like that will be hell on earth. For a night or 2 it won't kill you, but doing a cross country trip it will cripple your back. I'd keep all seating and laying areas to the lower deck and any standing tasks to the upper deck for long term comfort.
AYO I have been a fan since befor you started your channel and I am even more so now. It must be so hard getting that boat worked on not having the space to store it at home indoors. So take all the time you need brother to get her done at your own pace, whenever you post up a video just know that I will be watching it as soon as it is up. From a bid fan in Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦. Thanks for sharing your videos with us.
SO happy for an Itty Bitty update video! Great progress and now enclosed out-of-the weather work space for even quicker progress. Can't wait for more & more videos in this series.
That is a good looking trailer and motor bracket, I think this thing is going to be a winner, I hope you will haul it all over North America so your subscribers can see it and you in person.
A day with a Itty bitty update is a good one! It's been alot of work but she's going be worth it.
Not going to lie. That’s one hell of a boat. If you can turn it into an RV would be AWSOME .. I look forward on camping with you 💯💯💯💯💯
Yes I owned a Steury and it was an RV on the trailer. Grey water tank and hookups. Fresh water tank, Heating and A/C.
Are u ayo sir?
@@mohammedali-sv6il No.
While I’m happy for the Itty Bitty update, maybe I’m weird, but I loved the fact that you used the e-bike ad as a through-line. Keep up the good work.
Man thanks for all content on the boat. I feel like I have been there helping out. Maybe not but I share some of the joy when she hits the water.
Its been a long but awesome journey i remember when you first bought it im happy your sticking with it.i get so excited every time I see an update ❤😂
When this thing finally get on water complete and all the horse start galloping on the water it gonna be amazing. Keep going buddy, we all looking forward to the completed project haha
Hi guys, wow, that itty bitty Is coming together long time getting there, but it’s still coming to gather. Keep up the good work guys keep Davey gravy on the job. He’s such a character a funny little man. Love your videos
I had no clue I've been following along for almost 2 years.... congrats on the float test!
It is so good to see the old girl on the water good on you for not giving up on her and you are such a cool dude keep up the great work we love watching you 🎉🎉🎉
Can’t wait for ayo and gravy cruising the country, love ayo, he has a dream and goes for it
I wanted to say congrats for getting noticed in the news. You are becoming famous now. Hopefully I get to see your house boat in action. You are so very cool.
Can’t wait for the finished product!!! No stress about the space on videos. The AYO family is here an excited to hear bout it!!
Finally! My life means something now there's an itty bitty video 💜!
All the best bro. I get being on a budget. That’s why I still don’t have a floating device with power. Good luck. I’m new but you seem real world and down to earth. I’m with ya now.
A couple weeks ago I binged all of the itty bitty videos in 2 days and I get SO hyped when a new one comes out! LETS GOOOOOOOOO
She is comeing along great got to say i loved the trying to cover the boat in that wind and the person laughing behind the cam great video man
Glad to see the old girl! EXCITED to see the final Itty bitty.
I’ve had projects this long, they suck at some points but when they’re mostly “finished” you can share your stories and look back with very fond memories. It’s stuff like this that makes men out of boys. Keep it up and hit me up if you cruise near Wilmington NC. I’ll buy you a beer or 24.
Well, it is about time! So excited for you and this boat bud; been following this project since day one.
I found this channel recently and started watching everything, this channel is wonderful and this series is great
I’ve literally been invested in this thing for years this is my favorite series on RUclips
just subscribed earlier this morning after watching all the house boat videos from the one where you bought it, to the last. and was like damn. its been 3 months since any update no way he will upload anything soon (thinking you prolly lost hope even) then come home tonight and see this! Keep going man!!! this is an awesome project, you got me hooked!! :D
Finally! Great update AYO....Let's get Itty Bitty back on the water!
I've invested two year into seeing the Itty-bitty floating, so happy 🛥🛥🛥
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! The itty bitty is my favorite subject of your content!!! So great to see the progress.
What a UNIT !!! So happy to see this thing on the water 🤘
Itty bitty is my fav RUclips restoration. Love seeing it
Itty Bitty Gettin’ closer sounds like ya got a good plan . Can’t wait to see her finished . Keep’em coming Ayo .
I think I had a little tear in my eye for the Maiden Voyage!
Gravy and Ayo looking like the Pirates of the Itty Bitty!
Thank you for taking your time and bringing this boat back the right way.
FINALLY! its been what 3 months but worth it to see the progress i just hope we wont have to wait another 3 months for the next i like it when you do little updates too even if it is like just electrical or just framing hell getting to see the end product will be epic
She looks great! Ty for keepthis project alive. It's going to be worth it!!!!
Epic! Knowing she floats has to be such a great feeling. Can't wait to see the next. The finale is getting close!
Itty Bitty is beautiful, you have come such a long way and I’ve followed you since you got her - the very first episode. The Yammy looks really good on the back to be fair and so many powerboats in Florida use those platforms in heavy seas so I’m sure she will be fine on lakes. Great video dude.
Davey is a national treasure
Great to see all the updates, trials, errors, and that itty floats!
definitely needs some ballast at the keel last thing you want is it tipping, by the time you're done there will be some weight up at the top
Good to take on projects like this while your young and don't have enough sense to know when to stop.
Can’t wait to see back in the water complete and ready to go!!!!
