if you're reading this, watch your back, gravy is watching you, he's always watching...
BRO IVE LITERALLY BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS YOU NEED TO GO CROSS COUNTRY WITH THE HOUSEBOAT
i was about to comment that when he bought this boat i randomly got pushed the video and have been watching ever since... i don't even fish 😂
50 states, 50 bodies of water(maybe not hawaii)
This
cross country but endurance catch n cook only style
Him buying the houseboat was why I started watching the channel :)
I know that I speak for a lot of fishermen, but this channel is truly a classic for every view. No made up drama, just true life experience! Great fishing with great friends! Can't wait to see more! You go AYO and Gravy!
The Itty Bitty saga is what got me "hooked" to your channel, and I'm by no means a fisherman. I've been watching your videos from the time you bought Itty. Throughout the restoration, and now finally getting to see you and Davey having a blast out on the lake. You sir have made me a lifelong subscriber to your channel. 🎉😀
When you first started this project I was trying to drink myself to death. All day everyday. I’m now a year sober and in the best shape of my life. It’s been a blast going back and watching all the IB vids (sober this time) it’s crazy how much can change in a couple years
Good work, brother 👊
To s tebou udělala udělala ta elita vyšetřování s falešnou mafii 😂😂😂😂
Všechno řídí! 😂
Proud of you brother! Keep up the hard work and determination, you're doing great. God bless
Congratulations! 12:46
Good work sir!
Davey is a national treasure. Adventures of the Itty Bitty and First Mate Davey
Agreed Gravy is the man!
his. Name is Gravy
gravy is a top tier seaman
Agreeeddd
Legend
I need to thank you. You and Itty Bitty got me through cancer treatment. God bless.
Fake
@@Yogies_bogies06 Why are you such a sad angry person i feel sorry for you. Someone says they have cancer and all you have to say is FAKE??!!! You really are a sorry sad person and i feel bad for you, Delete your youtube account you have no right being on the internet.
@@Yogies_bogies06 I feel so sorry for you. Calling someone fake when they say they have cancer.... do you have any proof that this person is lying. Get a life you sad excuse for a human, i feel so sorry for you. Why are you such a sad angry person?
@@Yogies_bogies06 You really going to call someone with cancer fake? I would say take a long look in the mirror brother... check yourself and find something better to do with your time.
@@kennyb_mtb9507i get yogi, people want attention so bad that they will lie! Im 100% not saying David is lying but I see these comments everywhere!
Love it! nice work on the boat. A few things I recommend. 1- get your boat assessed and insured 2-make sure you have a CO detector in the cabin, especially since you have that generator. 3- get a danforth style anchor, that modified mushroom wont hold much if it gets windy. 4- keep enjoying it!
I started watching your videos when you first bought "The Itty Bitty." I love the fact that you finished the job and didn't give up. Thanks, Ayo, for all the entertainment!
If you are going too continue sleeping out on the water in Itty Bitty, you really should have an anchor light on at night, ALL night, for safety. You've done such a beautiful job with the restoration, I'd hate to see it crushed by a passing vessel at night, especially with you guys in it. It's required by law in my waters. Happy sailing and congratulations!!!
Same with our waters. Our houseboat has an anchor light that turns on and is visible in all directions of the boat automatically. That way we don't have to think about it. It is also a low current draw running off a separate lithium Ion battery that lasts for a week and charges when the engine is on.
For sure.
Yeah, that's definitely true, we have the same rule here in Spain. Idk if it's an official law, but everyone does it.
I can't believe it's been so long since this project started. Just to have seen so much growth both from you and your channel and in my own personal life in the short span and the fact that it hasn't seem like that long is crazy. Looking forward to continue watching the evolution of the Itty Bitty as well as the rest of the channel.
Time absolutely flies, thanks for watchin!
Not gonna lie I thought it was a joke
I also began at the beginning. How long was it. It feels like a year
I love, ❤your love ❤and respect for gravy. You can see he loves ❤❤you just as much and I appreciate you for treating him with so much love and respect. I can feel the brotherly love 💕 through the screen. 💕💕💕💕💕💕you guys so much.God bless🙏🙏🙏y’all.
The bathtub wrap around catch cam is actually insane, its been great watching the progress of the Itty over the last 2 years, can't wait to see where your content goes in the future!
I literally watched this from the beginning. Ive literaly started a family and made major career moves and bought a house. I feel like we have both grown together. This is amazing
I went through the exact same thing! My kid was born a month after the first itty bitty video released. Look at us ( the Ayo Family) growing up together.
Literally?
@@kalcongdon17literally, bruh.
Same
Congratulations that’s awesome 🤙🏽
You know it’s a good day when The Itty Bitty pops up on the home page!!
…and we get a side of Gravy?! Leggoo!!
Ayo with a side of gravy
I can’t believe Davie left you hanging like that climbing in…. I felt that pain so hard. I found your channel with Itty Bitty episode 1, so glad I’ve stuck around to see this beauty emerge.
You boys are just the best. The way you look after the man who is loved by women and feared by fish is just brilliant. A roll model for all.
The boat will always have a list, depending on how loaded.
A set of electric trim tabs help keep her level while under way
I can’t believe it’s been 2.5 years later. I’ve watched every episode so glad it came out so good. You put a ton of work into it!
That thing scoots along real well!
I wish I had a friend group like this.
You're living it up. I have a lot of respect for the tough decisions you had to make to get where you are.
Mannn, seeing this go from A shell to a complete project is pretty wild... I knowwww this has to be a huge moment for AYO blessing bro glad to see the journey complete
The smile on Davies face when u suplexed him back into the water just said it all about the brother love friendship and love he and you have for each other which is hard to sustain in a lifetime with someone nowadays
2 years. Jesus i cant belive its already been that long. So glad to finally see the itty bitty back on the water! Been an amazing ride. Thanks Ayo!
Loved the build and the struggle with fiberglassing a wet "cardboard box". She runs surprisingly well for such a top heavy boat. Looks like a great fishing platform from multiple levels which hopefully has been worth the blood, sweat and a tear or two.
All of UA-cam outdoors has been waiting for years for this video to finally drop. Congratulations ayo!!! She's a beauty
The video we all needed today!
We need a HUGE video now. Yak, Trey, Norm, Gravy, smalls, all on the bitty.
Whoever catches the most fish sleeps inside in the AC
Yesssss! Want the whole crew together. Hope Norm is ok. Makes me worry with his disappearance.
Loving the Itty Bitty saga!
I remember all the trouble, issues, mold, water leaks, broken stuff working stuff and demo! 🎉glad to see this finally being used! We need a week long compilation of videosssssss ❤🎉
Id love to see AYO do a raffle for a fan to do a daytrip or overnight on the Itty Bitty. Id love to see the boat at a meet and greet or something. I love this channel so much. Thanks for all the great content. 👍
Wonder what Gravy’s doing right now. Probably just hangin out, killin it. What a legend 🔥
Been watching this channel for a few years and I swore my project car would be done around the same time this boat would be done. Well, needless to say.......my car is still in the shop .....🤦♂🤦♂. But I am enjoying the heck out of this channel. Keep up the good work fellas.
Needless to say, a “project car” doesn’t go to the shop you fix it yourself… Bought Not Built.. 🤫
I definitely feel that😂
@@Sm0kEyX420We got ourself a professor here, folks ...
@@Sm0kEyX420 I did most of the mechanical work myself. When it comes to sheet metal welding, body work and paint I will leave to the professionals.
More channels/videos need to be like this- nothing controversial or polarizing, no clickbait, just entertaining and it has exactly what the title and thumbnail says
Ayo, I first found your channel during a rough time in my life. I always looked forward to your videos and still remember your very first video on the Itty Bitty. Thank you for your laughter and enthusiasm for life in general. It does more than you know!
Congrats man! You buying this boat years ago is what brought me to your channel, and I remember thinking you bit off more than you could chew with it lol. But I'm glad you proved me wrong! Great job with the boat! Enjoy all your hard work paying off!
Now we need a night with you 2, Smalls, Norm, and YakPak! Or just you and Yak on the boat overnight so y'all can talk ish out if need be.
I have always loved these small houseboats and this build was off the charts.
That new Yamaha is the final touch that really makes the difference.
That large cutting-edge Minn Kota just made it into a fishing machine.
Honda generators are really quiet.
Any fish hooked on the head, in front of the gulls, is legal, not snagged.
So awesome to see her finished ans looking amazing, excited for more adventures to come.
I just into this Vid, and efff yeah Gravy deserves all the accolades. He's your brother, you're boy. Gravy is king!
I've been waiting 2 years for this video. And Gravy already has the swagger.
Just lost my baby(dog) of 8 years today and was down and upset and saw your video clicked on it and am enjoying it I always watch your videos man they remind me of me and my buddies a few years ago in school. Your videos are the therapy brother I hope to see another soon I’ve been here since before the itty bitty and this is such a success I’m happy for you!
I’m so sorry about your pup I know how much they are loved & as a deep believer in our Lord Jesus Christ if there’s one of GOD’S Creatures that will be waiting for us on the other side it’s our sweet loving pups. Have Faith I truly believe he will love you again, GOD BLESS Brother.
Sorry to hear that brother, glad you enjoyed the vid!
Losing a dog sucks! He's digging holes and chasing squirrels in doggy heaven! Squirrel!
I laughed out loud so many times.... This is fantastic.... ❤
Love you guys. Always brightens my day. 😊🎉
WE'RE FINALLY HERE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! Thank you Ayo's Wife for loving and supporting what has become the realization of a lot our dreams!! Thanks Ayo!!!
I swear, I thought someone was farting while he was walking up there, pulling the ice chest🤣🤣😂
Thought the video was starting off with an accident of the worst kind 😂
Same! i knew i couldn't be alone in thinking that xD
lol. yall have a really vivid imagination... 😅
Quicker picker upper
Ahhh here you are funny thoughts i had😂😂
I love watching yall 2 it made my day and amazing job on the boat!
You've got to get the Itty Bitty and Gravy out to the Lake of the Ozarks. The fishing is great, and the lake culture is unlike anywhere I've ever been in the world. 54,000 acres, 1100 Miles of shoreline, let's go!
That is such an amazing boat! Honestly bro thank you so much for taking me on your journey of restoring the Itty Bitty! Keep on keeping on man!
ayo if you take some flex metal pipe you can divert the exhaust from the generator into the lake water or a cooler of water and it will be almost silent. also be carful with the generator up higher the fumes will settle lower. great vid as usual. next should be a dont leave the itty bitty for 72hr challange.
❤❤❤ I’ve watched the whole build, been waiting for this moment for so long
Nice job on the refit. Good luck and many good trips.
just got off work from a 13hr shift and this is EXACTLY what i needed
Hi guys, there’s no video that I like the best when Davey gravy in it makes me laugh. I just love this guy. He is so funny without even trying. Keep up the good work guys. Love the itty-bitty Cliff from Australia
so excited to see the completed project! Been following since the beginning
It’s been so long, yet it doesn’t seem like it since you started the Itty Bitty journey and brought us along.
Incredible work. Incredible friends. And, and outstanding video. Love it, Ayo. Let’s see a series now of her traveling to ALL the states! 😅😂❤
New and improved itty bitty. With 100% more gravy
Absolutely amazing transformation. From a piece of junk to an awesome boat. A lot of time and work has gone into this. You should be proud.
So happy to see the Itty Bitty restored to her glory! What a great series been watching from the beginning. Go get ‘em Davy Gravy!
This is what I have been waiting for. Love that it's you and Davey Gravy.. love you guys. 😊
I love how Davy went from awkward in front of the camera to being the star of the show droppin one liners like a boss. Big gravy!!!! Thank you AYO for bringing this man to us. Oh yea. Your cool too, but bring back Norm. Hahahahaha hahahahahaha all love brotha.
Gravy is the class A star ❤
It’s wild to see this thing as a finished project. I don’t think people understand the amount of determination and stubbornness that it would take to finish a project like this. Ayo is just built different like that
I have been watching since the beginning and I am soooo happy and proud for you, Brother!!! AWESOME job!!!!
Thanks guys love seeing the itty bitty out there been with you the whole ride good job
OMG I can remember when you picked up the Bitty, it was in sad shape, now it is a beautiful craft. One thing Ayo you learned a lot on this rebuild, fiberglass, woodworking, demolition, ship building. Glad it was you and Gravey out on the first over nighter. 👍
She is awesome. Soo glad that you stuck with it. I know it was a big thing to go through. I know that your glad you did what you did. The itty bitty is flippin awesome!!!!!!!! Great work bro!!!!!!!!!!!
Yessss! Been waiting for this episode. Love the friendship you and gravy have. Please do more videos camping/fishing out of itty bitty
So proud of you! Been watching the Itty Bitty transformation since day 1. Amazing accomplishment! Wish I could join you on a voyage!
Omg YESSSSSSSS!!! THIS, THIS video is what I have been waiting for. I'm so glad you got the Itty Bitty done and it's ready for its maiden voyage!!!
Congratulations on experiencing the dream you have had from the start!
You and Davey have done what a lot of folk would consider the impossible.
You stripped it to a shell and rebuilt from scratch. I've done this with cars and the advantage of doing this is you know every cubic inch of the vehicle and all its idiosyncrasies, so no surprises.
Many years of happy sailing for you and your crew, fair winds and full sails!
love to finally see this boat remodeled in your vision and in action man!!! awsome bro!!
Absolutely love this!
I'm not sure if I've ever laughed that hard when Gravy started singin 😂
Been waiting for this episode for a Long, Long time. Proud of you for sticking with it!
Yayyy!! Finally! Great job!!
Your videos of the itty bitty have inspired me to restore my own boat. I have found a 1969 Tom Sawyer fiberglass V-hull. I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m in it to win it. Pray for me and send money. lol 😂
Looks good, now you just need some rod holders installed. You should also build a couple flip down bunks on either side of the boat so that no one has to put an air matteress in the middle of the floor. You'll have the two pull down bunks plus the bench. Can't wait to see more adventures.
Gravy is a menace 😩😂😭
Love it keep going brother !
Love The Itty Bitty, i've been following since the start of the journey and i'm stoked it actually worked out. good on ya
Heck yeah! Just love seeing this. I started watching when you first got her and it's great to finally see her done! She's a beautiful boat!
Ayo has a special place in heaven, such a great friend and person. Thank you guys , the world needs more fun.
It's so amazing!!❤
Hell yeah brother! It’s been great following this journey of the itty bitty , truly happy for you and all the great adventures to come. 🍻 to all the amazing memories ahead.
Yes!!! I live for Ayo videos!!
Gravy is AWESOME!!!
Absolute best way to start the itty bitty adventures right here buddy, awesome job! 👍🏽💯 watching every second of it. I also absolutely love every catch an cook that exists lol so that helps
I watched everyone of your videos for this boat…. You did good!!!! Thanks for the positive vibes you always provide.
Gotta love Davy Gravy and the Itty Bitty
Yes sir I've been waiting for this
Your boat looks amazing I watched all the way from when it was nothing to now this I love it
Great job!! I'm glad the two of you are the ones that made the maiden voyage!! You, Davy Gravy, and Norm need to do a river trip! Love the boat!!
i have been waiting for this episode for ages! ayo and gravy on itty bitty girthy girl!! yeet!
Legit been waiting for this drop
That's awesome! You gotta love the Itty Bitty❤❤
This makes me smile. My fathers family came to Florida in the 60's, and they couldn't afford the materials yet for Grandfather to build the house. So they basically lived on the Kissimmee River for the first couple of years on a houseboat until they could. Great fishing and hunting on that river. My father remembers his days from that fondly.
Glad you finally got the houseboat done. Not telling you what to do, but you probably should put some rod holders topside to save some space, and they are readily handy when you climb up there.
As for the generator, I don't know how much power you need, but maybe you can get by on those Honda EU generators that weigh less and are a whole lot quieter.
Have fun guys, you deserve it! :)
Awesome a catch and cook! Always awesome to see ya upload!
Man love this. PURE AWESOMENESS once again.
You guys did a GREAT job...good luck, and have fun
Love it when you get your buddy out with you. Y'all have a genuine friendship and i doubt there is anything that could separate y'all.
Beautiful Boat. Congratulations on an outstanding build.
I've been checking every day for this! Finally!
Heyy Ayo and Gravy it's always nice seeing you two together, it makes my day Gravy is so much fun, thanks for sharing stay safe
Gravy!!!! I've missed this duo!
