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 UA-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
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.
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.)
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.
The tuxedo music video montage was the gift we didn’t know we needed and it’s a cinematic masterpiece 😂 thanks boys !!!
Well said!
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 😆 🤣
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.
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
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!
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
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 UA-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
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!!
What a difference!!!! Very well restored.
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 🥳🍻
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 UA-cam video!!!???wow
@@dustinread6407 don't be so afraid of your emotions.
Thank you very much!!
Not just 1 UA-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.
This is why Ayo has quickly become my favorite UA-camr. Not just fishing UA-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!
You should now drive it from Tampa to Key West fishing all along the way.
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!
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
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
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.
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…
Im so happy for you. I have watched this from the start till now.
What a amazing job. Love the ending. Cant wait to see whats next.❤❤❤❤
So happy to see this finally completed! Followed this since you bought that fine lady! Congratulations!
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 !!! 👏👏👏👏
Bro the dance scene was by far the best thing I've ever seen. Gravy killed it
Just happened upon the video of when you brought her home way back when. Haven't seen any videos in a while but here you are again today long after I'd forgotten about the boat. Nice surprise to find you today. She's a beauty! Great job!!!
Looks absolutely awesome. I love restoring old stuff. I wonder if I’m the only one thinking TWO 150’s on the back would be badass….
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
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.
Bitter sweet to see this completed. Very impressive. What a journey
We love you. I am so glad to see how the boat turned out. You did amazing!!!
That was awesome. Adding a lil gravy and smalls to the mix for her 1st voyage.
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.
@AYOFishing my friend you are an amazing UA-camr! Honestly one in a million.
The video at the end had me I'm stitches! Can't wait to see all the boys adventures on this girl. Congratulations!
You, Davey, and smalls have the personality and diligence that the world needs today. It’s cool to see a UA-camr follow through with a project like this. Favorite people!!
Dude, the level of celebration. You can tell you're just relieved and happy to be done. Well done, man. Genuine moment.
Wow...!! I hope the viewers truly appreciate the work put into that ole girl.. she's a real beauty guys!!!❤😊
Amazing. So happy it's finished! Have fun in it. That dance bit was 🔥
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.
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.
Can't wait to see what videos you make on the boat. Nice job finishing it. Looks great
I'm so happy for you to see this finally "done" it really is awesome and I hope it brings you much joy
OMG this is a UA-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!
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.
Stay positive, hope & praying things go well for you 🤗
Ayo does bring a smile to your face, doesn’t he? Been on that cancer journey. Yes, it is long and arduous, but the fight is worth it and hope is a beautiful thing. May God be with you on your journey, not only with cancer, but dialysis. His peace and comfort always.
Please do what the good doctor's say, people really only do live just once.
Beware of the bad advice of willfully ignorant that are limited to only doctoring up stories and snake oil forms, if and when as they appear active. Please take care of what you got, and don't let avid narcissists take your cognition, they can't even trust their own better judgement.
I can’t imagine how overwhelming that must feel. Never give up hope that things will get better. 5 years will move fast and there will be many smiles along the journey to get there. Stay up and god bless!
May God help you in your journey! Stay strong
I was watching you when you first got Itty Bitty and did all of the initial demolition and tear down. For some reason I lost a bunch of channels I was watching (thanks UA-cam for losing my connections) and just saw this update! Fantastic job! I thought it would be one of those internet lost rehabs but you did an EXCELLENT JOB!
Wow I remember when I first watch the first video and subscribed and now we’re finally here. Thanks for the roller coaster ride. It’s always awesome to see when tenacity and will power overcome. Now it’s fishing time. Also…. I’d love to see videos in the future with you traveling to cool places with it. Have fun you deserve it.
You my friend created magic with that music video, I'll be watching that over and over.
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!
Congrats from California! She looks beautiful and it's been fun going thru the journey with you and your Boyz! The MTV bit... omg, SOLID GOLD!
Amazing and awesome work! This has been one of my favorite youtube series ever!
Stoked to see where you take her!
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!😂
Did you add navigation lights:
Red for Left side = Port side and Right side = Green for starboard side
Fantastic build well done
I have been around since the beginning it was a great experience through out this whole process. I am so proud of you!!
Congrats guys!! Glad to see her finished.
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.
The ending with smalls and gravy was awesome
Bro im so proud of you. I been a subscriber for years since u first started working for lojo. U have came so far. This video was gold brought a tear to my eyes twice once from being so proud and again from laughing at you Davey and smalls dancing
I’m so glad she’s done! I’ve been waiting to see her rip forever!
Dang man, she is all that I envisioned. Ayo, you deserve her. The future fishing challenges will be amazing!
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!
So glad you split with u know n doing you, this is marvelous n amazing ,beautiful be proud Itty Bitty is Iconic! I continue following u for yr humor!
Congrats on getting er done. Looks like a blast! Enjoy!
Best ending to a YT video ever! Happy to see you guys having a blast and celebrating "finishing" the Itty bitty project
Not gonna lie,I might have cried just a bit.😢 Then a lot!😂😂😂😂
Congratulations!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
She turned out amazing! I am so happy for you! Thank you to everyone who helped you and supported you along the way! I see an MTV music video award on the horizon. What talent! No seriously I mean,what talent???😅 I am looking forward to seeing all of the future adventures on the Itty Bitty!
Take care,thank you for sharing the journey and God Bless ya Brother!!!❤😊
Congrats!!! Been subscibed since wayyy before the itty bitty. Followed the whole journey always fearing it would not be completed. So I Loved the video of youall dancing and felt the joy youall did. TY for the ride. Happy boating and fishing!!!
Glad to see it is done and ready for fishing 🎣

@@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
24:16 AYOoOOoOOoOoo!!!! Okay, the music video at the end was epic.. congrats 👏🏾
Congratulations! Stoked for you and the fish’n pals this summer!
Genuinely happy to see this project the water. Brilliant work.
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.
She lives again. May all who sail on her be smiling. Been watching from day one, really happy.
That was AWESOME!!!! Phenomenal job with Itty and loved the dance routine!!!! GREAT JOB
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! 👏
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.
Yes. 100% man. This is amazing. Congratulations man. This means a lot to you i know, but im sure i speak for everyone when i say this means a lot to us too. You took us on a journey. You followed through.
Congratulations on completing the Itty-bitty! I love your genuine personalities. I've done some minor boat restoration myself and have a clue to your challenges. Keep up the great videos.
I LOVE IT!!!!! I am so happy for you. It was genuinely a thrill to see her finished and coming on plane with that bad mama Yamaha. I truly believe you won't regret going with the outboard over the inboard. She is a beautiful boat and I can only imagine how much fun you will have on her. My only hope is that your plans might bring you to northern Oklahoma. I'd love to meet you. I truly enjoy your channel and have loved the adventure of the last 2.5 years. Keep those vids comin' dude. We can't wait. Love Ya Back.
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 UA-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.
Man I got a tear in my eye she's beautiful bin here since day 1 many adventures and memories to be made WOOHOO ITTY BITTY
And the music video was absolutely brilliant
Dude, i have followed you ever since you started on her. You nailed it!!!!
Have a great time on her and I'm wanting to see more videos!
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.
I literally thought about this for the first time in weeks and searched for it just to find he posted 9 minutes ago. It is destiny, the king has returned!!!!👑.
I literally was thinking about the itty bitty yesterday and today BAM! I reciently got a little Shnorkey dog a few months back with short little legs, she is the cutest thing and I call her Itty bitty. Her actual name is Daisy.
Crazy we all thinking the same thing!!! Had the same thought yesterday...was hopinh AYO was okay lol@@jstar1000
Good job I'm excited and proud of you! It was a lot of fun watching you from start to finish
What a thing of beauty ! Dude nice to see a full restoration done! So clean!
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!!
LETSSSS GOOOOO! Thanks Ayo for sticking to it brother! What a masterpiece 🤌
Awesome!!!! I've warched the whole thing beginning tonend from the day you bought it!!!! Im glad tonsee you finish the job and now get to enjoy the results of the journey!!!
Nice to see it finished. Yes, definitely more dance video's.
She’s a beauty. You had issues backing off that trailer because you were trimmed up. Just a tip. God bless ya brother.
I really love your appreciation for your viewers...it feels so sincere, because it is a real relationship with us. I think I speak for lots of us when I feel like I would be instant friends with you gravy norm and smalls if our paths ever crossed.
Thanks for making us laugh.
Also that last dance bit with gravy and smalls may have been have been my all time favorite content I have seen.
