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😂
I died laughing when gravy and smalls popped up behind you. That whole bit was hilarious 😂😂😂
I knew they had to be close. Couldn't imagine he would leave Gravy out of it.
had really strong "im on a boat" vibes! it's excellent
it looks like a scene from the hangover
this was by far his best video yet!!! (production quality wise)
Itty bitty boats and hoes video 🎉
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.
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 KZhead 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
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
The tuxedo music video montage was the gift we didn’t know we needed and it’s a cinematic masterpiece 😂 thanks boys !!!
Well said!
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.
To the editors: THE ENDING CINEMATOGRAPHY WAS OUTSTANDING, FROM THE COLOR GRADING TO THE SEQUENCE OF CLIPS!! IT WAS TRUELY A BEAUTY!!!
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.)
good job man, nobody ever restores old boats like this, you'll be one of a kind on the lakes thats for sure!
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 🥳🍻
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 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!
The kitty bitty was the reason I started watching you. I can't wait to see some fishing trips on her. Thank you guys for the amazing content...
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
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
GRAVEY, AYO and SMALLS!!!! My favorites
This is why Ayo has quickly become my favorite KZheadr. Not just fishing KZheadr but as a whole. The bit with smalls and gravy is by far my favorite moment of this channel.
Agreed it was freaking fantastic!
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 KZhead 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
Dude, that music video is sick. Upload that on it's own! Sick 🤘
I was genuinely excited when that motor started. Well done.
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 KZhead video!!!???wow
@@dustinread6407 don't be so afraid of your emotions.
Thank you very much!!
Not just 1 KZhead 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.
Bro the dance scene was by far the best thing I've ever seen. Gravy killed it
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!
Very happy for you, the Itty Bitty looks great and runs great! You guys gave a new meaning to “Rock the Boat!” Enjoy it, thanks for sharing the experience.
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!!
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 😆 🤣
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.
Looks like the upper deck can finally put in the work! Cracking me up. Well done Ayo! Looking forward to the IB adventures. Find a way to store the old girl out of the elements. It will keep her crisp.
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 !!! 👏👏👏👏
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…
Absolutely killer! So happy to see you finally get the payoff from such a massive project! Congratulations AYO! This has been a blast to watch.
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
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 was awesome. Adding a lil gravy and smalls to the mix for her 1st voyage.
The Itty-Bitty looks absolutely amazing, Josh!! I've been watching from the beginning of the project!! Nice job!
I know I’m late to the party but feel the need to leave a comment of appreciation for the whole itty bitty journey definitely has inspired me to take on any challenge. Ayo this is amazing and thank you for including Smalls, Gravy and everyone else in this build. I loved every second and I got myself a nice itty bitty tshirt too. Y’all rock🤘🤘🤘
OMG this is a KZhead 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!
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
You should now drive it from Tampa to Key West fishing all along the way.
Dude, the level of celebration. You can tell you're just relieved and happy to be done. Well done, man. Genuine moment.
You, Davey, and smalls have the personality and diligence that the world needs today. It’s cool to see a KZheadr follow through with a project like this. Favorite people!!
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 itty bitty purchase was the video that brought me to this channel. loved wtching the progress and al the other adventures. Seeing her get her sea legs back is so amazing!
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.
24:16 AYOoOOoOOoOoo!!!! Okay, the music video at the end was epic.. congrats 👏🏾
The outro skit was just fantastic. I am glad you have done so well and hope it only gets better.
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? 😂
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.
You my friend created magic with that music video, I'll be watching that over and over.
What a difference!!!! Very well restored.
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.❤❤❤❤
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!
Best ending to a YT video ever! Happy to see you guys having a blast and celebrating "finishing" the Itty bitty project
The dance scene was perfection 😂
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.
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!😂
The ending with smalls and gravy was awesome
Finally. Glad to see the "new" Itty Bitty. Nice job. Enjoy it. You never mentioned how much you put into the project.
Congrats! Best film cinema on the tube! Looked forward to every video of this 2½yr journey.
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.
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
Outstanding buddy! You’ve done exactly what needed to be done to bring this little house boat back to its former glory!
Man dude. Congratulations on finally completing this long journey with countless hours of hard labor. I remember when you got this boat 2 years ago 👍🏽 I have a 21ft bayliner trophy boat. Shout outs from Los Angeles, California
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!!!❤😊
Dang man, she is all that I envisioned. Ayo, you deserve her. The future fishing challenges will be amazing!
A masterclass journey, thanks for creating it and taking us along with you!
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 KZhead 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!
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.
that segment with gravy and smalls cracked me up. congrats on getting itty bitty completed
I loved that boat from the start, even though you bought it for 10x what it was worth. God bless you, Ayo, Gravy and crew, and God bless Tim - because without Tim, that old girl would've been chainsawed into manageable pieces and stuffed into various supermarket dumpsters. Makes my heart swell to see her back on the water!
Congrats on this man. This got me all emotional man just knowing this all came together how you wanted it to.
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.
Those 2 snaps on your hat holding on for dear life are the real heroes of this story.
Amazed that she did not crack into half. You my hero now.
So happy to see this finally completed! Followed this since you bought that fine lady! Congratulations!
Did you add navigation lights: Red for Left side = Port side and Right side = Green for starboard side Fantastic build well done
I love seeing dreams worth dreaming, cross the finish line and I've been on board from the jump. Love you guys and this channel. Nice work fellas.
Almost spat my coffee out!! Genius ending !! I dont even like fishing but love the channel ! Fantastic restoration
She lives again. May all who sail on her be smiling. Been watching from day one, really happy.
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
Seriously!!! Everything from start to finish. AYO team and friends yall nailed this! Especially for it being the Itty Bitty reveal, but even more so! Especially the build footage! I’ve rewatched it more times I can count because it just makes me so happy in so many ways. The creativity is one of a kind, y’all are always on brand 100% everytime, even with the sponsor breaks 😂😂, and the ending is one that is hilarious, catchy, and so damn clever. My husband is a videographer, and I’m a graphic designer and we’ve worked as a team for years, including shooting a documentary in 2020 that got nominated for Indie Film Festival! (Proud wife moment) so naturally Im looking at details even when I’m not trying to. I just felt that need to send a serious “hell yeah!” Y’all’s way. Love y’all’s channel. I can’t wait to see more videos. ☺️
Gravy & Smalls! That was PIMPIN'!
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.
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.
658k Subscribers! Way to go! So happy you got er done! That video dance montage had me rolling! Awesome job, now enjoy!
The video at the end had me I'm stitches! Can't wait to see all the boys adventures on this girl. Congratulations!
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 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.
It looks very sharp on the water! You've earned the right to be very proud.
Wow, she came out Awesome. I was so excited to see her pop up on the screen. I am so proud and happy for what you’ve accomplished with her. We can’t wait to see her in new adventures. Also, Grady’s got the moves! 😂 Press on young man. 👍🏻
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 KZheadrs 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.
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!
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.
I’ve been following this project from the jump. I might have to snag a shirt just for making it to the end. So happy to see the end result!! Big congrats!!! 🙌🏼🛥️
Out-F-ing-Standing!! The ol' girl is stunningly beautiful!! You did an incredible job bringing Itty Bitty back from the dead. Take good care of her and she'll always bring you home.
I feel like this was my project also. The Itty Bitty is how I found your channel, seeing her in this video makes me so happy.
