Comment for more dance scenes
you need a big bass on that boat asap
Finally
About freaking time 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Commenting for consistent video uploads 🙏 😂
Ima need a dance break at least once a video. I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in the last 5 years😂
Sorry for the delay, but… she’s done!!!!
Whaaaaaat i would of bet allot this day would never come
I've been watching this restoration since day one, really happy you got it done and looking nice.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
Nice
AO, (Itty Bitty Reveal) Was that what the guards said to you during your cavity search?...Sup Bubba glad to see her in the water...Thumbs up my man.
I’m honestly just impressed you stayed with the project and finished it. Good work big dog!
I hope he christened the boat.
It has been a long time comin!!
He did a nice job but that crap generator would have to go. He needs a nice quiet Yamaha or Honda generator. They're so compact and quiet its a no brainer.
He could probably even fit small Yamaha generator under the back deck. Instead of roof. He needs weight in the hull since he removed the 800lb inboard.
He needs the huge generator that Aircon will be hungry on power @@j_rainsgoat3929
Australian dude here, unlike many youtube 'personalities', you really come across as genuine, and a good person. Great to finally see Itty Bitty in the water complete! Take care man.
How many people read this person's nice post, but with their own version of an Australian accent?
Straya
The shift to Davy, Smalls, and the dancing may be the most epic thing I have ever seen on any fishing TH-cam video, ever. Was waiting for Norm's next video to come out as well, but he may as well just keep it in the vault because nothing is beating this. Well done, well done indeed!
I was grinning ear to ear! So fun!!!
Facts lmao
The tuxedo music video montage was the gift we didn’t know we needed and it’s a cinematic masterpiece 😂 thanks boys !!!
Well said!
This guy is for real. I met him recently as him and Norm were scouting a spot near my house. They took the time to listen to me in the rain for twenty minutes go on about how much I liked what they were doing. They are the real deal.
Glad to hear Norms alive. Been missing that dude
@@dadsquatch79 Does he still post videos?
@@eduardobotello4059been absent for about five months. He's been in other people's videos and apparently he was filming a bunch in New Zealand and is going to start dropping new videos in April.
Probably was the most popular dude in high school.
To the editors: THE ENDING CINEMATOGRAPHY WAS OUTSTANDING, FROM THE COLOR GRADING TO THE SEQUENCE OF CLIPS!! IT WAS TRUELY A BEAUTY!!!
I actually cried tears of joy after following this for the last 2 years. Proud of you for sticking with it and taking us on the journey with you. Bon voyage brother.
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!
You, are precious! 😄
Bruh, no idea how the first video of this boat showed up in my feed, but it did. Now, each update episode later, here I am watching itty bitty hit the lake. Awesome.
Nailed it!
Yeah I don't fish at all, but Im hooked (HA!) on Ayo's stuff.
My first Ayo video was the first one of the Lifeboat he’s working on. I don’t fish, sail, or boat in any way (though I would love to if I wasn’t always stuck inland and far away from any lakes/waterways.)
It was a lot of fun to be a part of the rebuilding of the interior of this boat at Coachcraft By MacDonald. I'm glad that we were able to be a part of it!
We are in awe. Dr. Frankenstein couldn't do as well.
Well done
For sure ❤ Proud moment..Life is worth living for these moments . I love water!
Nice work
U killed it bro
good job man, nobody ever restores old boats like this, you'll be one of a kind on the lakes thats for sure!
This was the perfect completion video for the "Itty Bitty". I found your channel when I stumbled on the first video of the Itty Bitty while searching for boat restorations. Loved this boat from the beginning but wasn't sure you were going to be able to save it. It turned out great, hope you and your family have a lot of fun on it this summer.
Congratulations on one hell of a rebuild! 🤝🏼
Go back to scamming people with googan squad lol
We love Jordan he's like a little ayo
Love you're vids
You guys should do a fishing trip together!
Maybe do a 1v1 houseboat versus houseboat challenge 😆 🤣
One thing i love about this channel is how down to earth everyone is. You can tell how thankful he is for every single one of us. Not to mention everything he's done for everyone else on the channel. The saying goes, "you can tell a man's worth by the way he treats others"
Dang, I really appreciate that!
@@AYOFishing just keep being awesome my friend
THIS!!! AYO has that same heart and vibe as Mav.. watch him blow up after 500k and 1m. The boys are on 🎉
This is awesome! If you get tired of the generator blasting, you can switch to a solar generator/power unit. That’s what I did. I got tired of the noise and fumes. It runs everything and it’s silent. II’ve used it for a few years now. We run, TV, cooking unit just like yours, AC and heater, etc. We have a propane stove though as my girl likes to bake a lot. Love the content!
What a cool journey brother. Lots of fun to be a part of it with u and everyone that helped along the way. You did a great job with the build and with the content. You should be proud good job.
This is why Ayo has quickly become my favorite TH-camr. Not just fishing TH-camr but as a whole. The bit with smalls and gravy is by far my favorite moment of this channel.
Agreed it was freaking fantastic!
Brother, take this as a compliment, bc it is… As a guy pushin 50 with all the burdens of middle-age, I truly thank you for all you do… I thoroughly enjoy living vicariously through you guys and the nostalgia that comes with watching a group of buddies makin really fuckin dumb decisions, fully committing to them and have a fuckin blast doin it! Cheers brother!
As someone past 50. I wholeheartedly agree! I'm now trying to convince the wife to let be get a boat too!
Same here, I'm about to hit old fart status and what Ayo and his gang does make me laugh, and brings me back to good times in my 20' and 30's
I’m 43 and I got my first bass boat end of last summer.. I’m hooked on it! I’m fixing to upgrade to a bigger boat because I live on the ms. River and my boat is a little small for it but great in local lakes
this was such a hype in my day to see AYO pop up with his 2 year long project finally done! havent fished since moving a year ago but this just put some wind in my sails to pickup my rod again!
Dude, that music video is sick. Upload that on it's own! Sick 🤘
My first video was you finding the itty bitty and I thought there is no way this guy is going to see the project through. I am so glad you stuck with it, the journey has been amazing. Keep up all the great work. You are one of the only TH-cam shows that my son and I both like.
That’s awesome! Glad yall enjoy!!!
Same here, I have watched everyone of @AYOFishing videos ever since and constantly check for new video, love it keep up the great work 🛥️🛥️🛥️🛥️
same
21:35 might just be some of the best content to ever grace my screen!!!
Your Not Lying Fam 😂🙌🏼💯
Lol facts
Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!🎉
Same.
I wasn’t ready
One random dark and stormy night, what feels like a few years ago now I stumbled upon this Channel! I watched with the expectation of seeing a completed boat by the end of the episode, needless to say I was left wanting more, I wrote off this channel and the iddy bitty as something I would never obtain. Today I am pleased to be proved dead wrong!!! You did it man, congratulations and thanks for the content 🥳🍻
The dancing in the end is legendary! The unexpected details mixed with all the other content is just great entertainment
Man I am in literal tears right now. I've been waiting to see this video for over a year. Excellent job man. I can't express how happy I am for you. 🎉
You’re in literal tears over a TH-cam video!!!???wow
@@dustinread6407 don't be so afraid of your emotions.
Thank you very much!!
Not just 1 TH-cam video. A long documentary full of hard work, dedication, and a LOT of blood sweat and tears. And to see Smalls, Gravy, and AYO getting down! Sheesh. The future is bright 🌞😎
I agree, it made my heart happy to see that video.
Dude..64yr old here watching your videos for yrs. Never fished a day in my life but I live vicariously through you and Gravy. This by far is your best video. I do enjoyed myself and Mr. Gravy... You looked FANTASTIC in you Tux..Rock it❤
Buy a pole and get you a fat sally its never to late
You are only as old as you feel sir
You are still in ur 40's
Go fishing this weekend!
Never too late to start fishing
Bring that thing to Chattanooga, TN. Lotta good fishin on the TN river, chickamaga lake area to be exact. I’d love to see Ol Itty Bitty in person. As a houseboat owner myself, I really got a kick out of this series. I can relate to some of those struggles in the remodeling process. Congrats
Itty bitty is how i found your channel. All hail the New and improved Itty Bitty. Way to go guys. She looks awesome.
Man, I was 54 1/2 years old when I caught your first Itty Bitty segment. 2.5 years later and now 56yrs old I can honestly say it was a great ride dog! I can see the pride in your eyes of what you accomplished. Congrats man! Oh yeah…Davey Gravey is one cool dude. Looking forward to more videos on the Itty Bitty. All the best from LaSalle, Ontario, Canada. ⚓️
I was in my thirties, granted I just turned 40 in January. To see his excitement with the finished project is cool
Wouldn't you be 57 now if you were 54 and 1/2 2 and 1/2 years ago?
LoL I hit 50
+1…
I’m 56 1/5…
My Hans, Elbows, Shoulders, Hips, Knees and Feet are 72.
Amazing! Best video you've made!! Congrats!!
Bro the dance scene was by far the best thing I've ever seen. Gravy killed it
I can remember when you were someone else's cameraman. It has been an honor to make this journey with you. You have shown that hard work and not giving up brings great rewards. You have that gift that makes us all just can't wait to see what you will do next.
I been invested in this itty bitty build since you bought it! Haven’t missed a video
Thanks for sticking around!
@@AYOFishing Me too ,it was the first video of yours I seen !! The minute I seen you buy her I subscribed !!! Thanks for ride & the laughs ! It's been a long time coming but I can't believe she's even more beautiful than I imagined !!! 👏👏👏👏
I'M SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU AND ITTY BITTY!!!! GOD BLESS ALL!!!!❤❤❤
GRAVEY, AYO and SMALLS!!!! My favorites
Okay…being around boats my whole 60 years of all shapes and sizes, I actually wept with joy after seeing this reveal. Been following it from the beginning. Tremendous job! Awesome looking boat. May you have fair winds and following seas…
The video no one deserved, but we all needed. Thank you for sticking it out, Ayo! Best music video i have ever seen! I got vgiddy like a school girl expecting Norm to pop out and was not disappointed when the two water heads showed up!😂
Been here since the beginning of the Itty Bitty saga. Congratulations and Hallelujah Praise the Lord. Good sailing to you Captain. Go catch some fish.
Now that the Itty Bitty is done, you can do a teams challenge with the Itty Bitty vs the orange survival pod.
Congrats on a finishing such a long term interesting project. Hope it gives you plenty of adventures.
You, Davey, and smalls have the personality and diligence that the world needs today. It’s cool to see a TH-camr follow through with a project like this. Favorite people!!
That ending on the boat Trip was freaking awesome!! My wife even loved it, had to come back and watch it again this morning!! Nice touch.
The outro skit was just fantastic. I am glad you have done so well and hope it only gets better.
I was genuinely excited when that motor started. Well done.
Those 2 snaps on your hat holding on for dear life are the real heroes of this story.
Ayo has built the ultimate bro boat. Not gonna lie, a little jealous. You’ve literally made a getaway for good friends to go out on a weekend, fish, eat, sleep, and just have a blast on the water. Congrats and I cannot wait to see what adventures happen on the Itty Bitty!
Are you just a…. Itty bitty jealous? ;)
The dance scene was perfection 😂
Thanks for sharing your dream. To see your grinning mug tells us everything we need to know! Dance on forever... I am 77 and can assure you that what you have done is a rare treat to watch ... you have done your talking walking and it makes no diff how long it took. You have a boat and millions do not! Step to the front of the line Sir!
This may have started out as a fishing channel but to me it's all about friendship, hard work and being stand up guys. Thanks for showing us how life can be and should be.
I was so happy when Gravy showed up! Felt like he should have been there through the video and then BAM he comes in dancing!
It looks very sharp on the water! You've earned the right to be very proud.
A masterclass journey, thanks for creating it and taking us along with you!
I’ve been dreaming of this day for two damn years!!! I can’t imagine how you must feel to finally have it done. Congratulations, brother you deserve it. You earned it.
You my friend created magic with that music video, I'll be watching that over and over.
Outstanding! I've been watching since the beginning of Itty Bitty. What a journey. I can't wait to see where "the old girl" goes.
Finally. Glad to see the "new" Itty Bitty. Nice job. Enjoy it. You never mentioned how much you put into the project.
Dude, the level of celebration. You can tell you're just relieved and happy to be done. Well done, man. Genuine moment.
LETSSSS GOOOOO! Thanks Ayo for sticking to it brother! What a masterpiece 🤌
This channel made me discover I like watching boat builds and that all started with the Itty Bitty, she looks amazing, glad to see her on the water at last.
The Itty Bitty for the W!!! Big ol' fat 2 1/2 years full of winning put this little slice of heaven back together again
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 TH-camrs 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 saw one of those on Twin Stick Garage and I was blown away at what they can power and for how long. It should handle that ac perfectly. Has me thinking about getting one for my boat.🛥️
charge time*
How much one of them weigh though. That genny probably what like 100 pounds or something?
@larrylong9765 the 2 battery banks they come with are heavier than a generator but they wont have to stay on the roof and can be tucked away with the water tanks and run solor panel lines from the roof that he cant stand on to keep it charging.
@@larrylong9765 the AC200MAX weighs 61.9 lbs. It’s a self contained cube that’s approximately 16”X11”X15”. They are also expandable.
that segment with gravy and smalls cracked me up. congrats on getting itty bitty completed
Awesome job on the houseboat, and adding the trolling motor was smart
Outstanding buddy! You’ve done exactly what needed to be done to bring this little house boat back to its former glory!
OMG this is a TH-cam Hall of Fame worthy video! Congrats on finishing the Itty Bitty, it has been quite an adventure. The musical interlude at 22:00 might be your finest work ever, I'm rewinding right now to watch it again!
Andrew, brother, I am so proud of what you have achieved! Watching you go from a cameraman with maybe 1k subs to creating your own amazing content with nearly a million subs and bringing the Itty Bitty back to life has been an incredible journey. Congratulations my dude! Couldn't have happened to a better man. I cannot wait to see what adventures lay ahead with this beautiful boat.
What a difference!!!! Very well restored.
Brother, I had watched your video a year or so ago, and thought...wow...cool little boat. To stumble across your video today was a real treat. Stop for a moment and think...somewhere, someone had wanted to throw that boat away.
You brought her back to life...be proud, be thankful, honor her heritage and give her love, and all the new experiences she can handle.
Good luck brother.
This better hit the "trending" on youtube! So excited for the coming videos!!! I love seeing AYO so happy ❤ oh sh!t the ending!!!
start throwin likes around, drop a couple shares and obviously subscribe. throw the bell on (notifications set to all for this channel) for that extra li'l bit
@@BoogerDadI even let the ads play for my man. No one deserves it more.
Rewatching this with the hubby. He didn't get to watch it yesterday
I was telling my husband how unusual it was that Ayo took the boat out without any "crew members" - and then the awesome music video began! A great video became absolutely AWESOME!
I have no idea how I came upon your channel 2 years ago, but I have been invested in the Itty Bitty!
Great to see this lady back on the water!
Greetings from the Netherlands !
That scene with smalls and gravy was epic
She lives again. May all who sail on her be smiling. Been watching from day one, really happy.
I don't often get excited for people online but you guys seem to be a genuine group of good guys. It was a hell of a journey. Glad I got to see it. Can't wait to see what you guys do next.
The first video you posted on the itty bitty was right at the start of my quarantine period. I was hooked (no pun intended) on the saga of the Itty Bitty. Congratulations and thanks for sticking with it!!!
Congrats! Best film cinema on the tube! Looked forward to every video of this 2½yr journey.
24:16 AYOoOOoOOoOoo!!!! Okay, the music video at the end was epic.. congrats 👏🏾
Best ending to a YT video ever! Happy to see you guys having a blast and celebrating "finishing" the Itty bitty project
You should now drive it from Tampa to Key West fishing all along the way.
I’m so proud of you Ayo! She’s a beauty!
That was awesome. Adding a lil gravy and smalls to the mix for her 1st voyage.
I have so many words, so many feelings, so much pride. And it's not even me. I am so proud of you. You saw the diamond in that rough. Everybody else laughed at you so you made it happen. A part of my life feels complete now. Thank you ayo.
Love the vid!! Macklemore songs was sooo perfect for that presentation of the newly life “Itty Bitty”! Can’t wait to see some awesome vids of the gang fishing from the IB! Your number one Ayo,and gotta give your wife props for letting you go after your dreams! Thank you for all the laughs
Kids in America should have to take a mandatory class watching this series to see what it takes to turn a turd into something amazing through hard work and confidence in yourself. Wow man great job. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dang man, she is all that I envisioned. Ayo, you deserve her. The future fishing challenges will be amazing!
That boat is honestly so sick. The fact that you can tow it behind a pickup is great, and 27 is really impressive for a house boat. That’s gonna be a fun toy to have.
Proud of you brother it's been a long time coming. Boat looks great and the dance scene was hilarious! Especially when you panned out and you just looked like three crazy people dancing on a boat? 😂
Congratulations for getting her done! I felt your pain watching the build through the whole process. I enjoyed the challenges and other videos in between. This was a huge undertaking and you should be extremely proud! 👏
The ending with smalls and gravy was awesome
I was waiting for this day to come. You took the Itty Bitty, a sorry old gal, spruced her up and made her feel young again. May she float eternal.
Yessssssss it’s finally here! Thank you for not giving up on this monster of a project, it is now time for some awesome videos!
Twelve videos per year at this rate I literally just been watching to see this finally done good work
Been watching this build series since the beginning, I feel like my kid just graduated high school.
So happy for you! It's been a long journey, thanks for having us along!🎉
Definitely need more dance scenes and maybe a little more cowbell! You guys all rock, Brother! So happy and satisfied for you that it's finally on the water. It was a fun ride to take with you and thank you for carrying all of us with the whole dang um ol way!
I normally skip ad spots, but when its AYO's ad spot, i know im in for a treat : )
So happy for you to finally see the Ole Itty Bitty in her true glory. Glad I could be a part of this amazing adventure you took us all on. Thank you and cant wait to see the Ole girl on some of her own adventures.
My husband and I have been watching you since before we were married and before the itty bitty was even started. We screamed when Davy and Smalls entered unexpectedly! So proud of the work you did! You’re awesome to watch! Keep giving us more Davey and Itty Bitty!!
I can't believe it's been two years... what a journey, congrats my man, congrats.
The ending was a great surprise!!! Seeing DavyGravy & Smalls in tuxes & dancing on top of the Itty Bitty was a great touch. For a moment there, I thought I was watching a Mtv music video (lol). I don't care for fishing, nor fishing channels - but I've been following the Itty Bitty project from day 1. I think it has a lot to do with AYO's humorous entertaining personality. He's born to be a showman. I look forward to see AYO & the Itty Bitty in waters they don't belong in... 😂
Bro I could see how happy you were just to have her out on the water, so happy to have followed you on this journey so far.
