This guy filming does not give a fek about anybody but himself, obviously, he is completely disrespectful for no reason, I am not saying he shouldn't be cautious, but it is different to be cautious than it is to besmirch someone's honor... this is almost as bad as someone accusing some old guy of being a rapist just because they are scare of them because they don't' know them.. .it is WRONG, That is a good old guy and he didn't deserve to be talked about like that.

[@DEADorALIVEkayaking]

1ST...as a veteran (USCG 1980-85), thank you for your support and consideration. 2ND...as a fellow KZbinr, way to think outside of the box for new content, AYO! 3RD...as an offshore oilfield employee, specifically, an AB Seaman on a 753' drill ship, I can fill you in on some general info about your boat. Before I do that, though, I'll say that I'm from Andalusia, and I've seen that boat for years and wondered how in the hell it wound up here! Glad to see it has a new job! I'll give some info about observations in no particular order, but I'll try to keep them coherent! The space that James said held ballast...that space held bottles of compressed air. If a boat is launched in an actual emergency, there's all probability that the atmosphere around it is toxic, explosive, or both. The inside of the boat can be kept at positive pressure by introducing compressed air...this keeps "bad" air from being sucked into the boat where the people are. The hole in the bottom is most likely the "plug", but it's not an ordinary plug. Lifeboats have a hydrostatic switch that prevents them from being released from their falls (cable moorings) until they're fully in the water, and it's built into the boat's plug. This system can be bypassed, but only intentionally. You said in this video or the water test video that you wished it had the original seats...it does. Lifeboats aren't made to be comfortable, ours are roughly the same size and accommodate 75 people each, and the hard fiberglass tops are where the butt meets the bench! James was correct about the seatbelts, though...these boats are self-righting if they get capsized, but only if everyone is belted into place...I can share a story about what can happen if that's not the case! The sink, obviously, is not original equipment...the Datrex emergency drinking water probably is! It is required that the boats be launched and tested periodically. I think it's quarterly, but we launch ours monthly, weather permitting. The hatches at the very front and very back are access from inside the boat to grab and reattach the falls (cables) when recovering the boat after launch. Depending on how old the boat is, the tubular railing on top should actually be water pipes for a sprinkler system, to keep the boat cool if it has to be driven through flames on the water after launch. The tubes on the bottom are a heat exchanger, working like James said, as a radiator. That boat cranked as well and as quickly as any of our six, which are all cranked and run weekly! Lastly...you were 1000% correct when you said that it must really suck, working on an oil rig...it truly does! LOL Stay safe!

2 things young fellow, 1/ I am impressed with the way you took your time looking over this one, Not just " looks cool I will buy it " your growing wiser ( Time to start teaching Norm ). 2/ With the drain hole, I would treat it just like any other boat, I would fit a well sealed threaded bung into the hole so yes when the boat is sitting around you can unplug it. Keep up the great work, and at least with this one you will have man cave to sleep in when the wife kicks you out for buying another boat. Love to you both from a very jealous old man. 🤣

[@mwatkins2464]

That’s actually a great idea to take care of the hole. I hope he sees your comment 👍🇺🇸

[@TomorrowsNews]

So idk about the rest of y'all, but ayo videos make my heart so happy and I literally want nothing but the best for him and everyone he encounters.

[@jiminauburn5073]

Yep. I get a little tingle, in a good way, when I see he has put out a new video.

[@nkyb100]

Need a reaction video of your wife when you bring all of these ideas home. Keep up the madness.

[@matthewholzmueller6292]

This is a must!

[@Jeffrey_Tyler]

I've been saying we need more Mrs Ayo for a long while now. The few ad skits she's been in it seems like they have a good comedic chemistry.

[@ryana3679]

My dad is 71 years old and he's a lil more tame and good Ole Mr James but he shares the same mentality. He's as active as I am and then some. I mean the man wakes up at 4:30 to go to work 6 days a week. He doesn't need the money but he loves doing something. I asked him why he keeps working and he said "if I ain't working I'd just be sitting around dying". Greatest man I'll ever know and I cherish the fact I bought a house down the road so we can hang out anytime we want.

[@Apostrophe65]

This was great! James will definitly need to make another appearance. He reminds me of all the old timers I used to go out fishing with. Now I'm the old timer. You're the best, I can't wait to see the fishing off the lifeboat challenge!

[@uss_liberty_incident]

I have zero interest in fishing, but this was a great watch. Thanks for spending the day with James. It was wonderful to see a gentleman like him.

[@maryswift6014]

This reeks of all kinds of goodness. The respect shared between y'all was great to watch. An unforgettable buy for you of course but I would suspect that it was an unforgettable sell for him as well.

[@rexjohnson1905]

sorry, I jerked as I went to hit the reply and hit the thumbs down button. And yes I am old. I agree with you the respect they showed the guy was heart warming.

[@KateKosmo]

I love this elderly man James...nothing like a southern 80 year old cowboy! 🤠🤣

[@albinofknrhino2949]

First video I have watched of yours and my hat goes off to you for the respect you showed James and for spending the day with him I'm sure he won't forget it.....was raised to respect my elders and so many young adults and teens dint know the meaning of that anymore glad to see you guys do tho!!!

[@jimdennis2451]

To be fair, they DID come up with a safe word.

[@Perroden]

Ya now it's just "oK bOoMeR"

[@1mezion]

So true

[@ManplansGodlaughs]

Not really

[@jameshitch5041]

I don't think anyone who watches this will ever forget James. I absolutely have to see where this goes. I've always wondered about these but never gave it any time exploring but I am now.

[@KingToeBean]

What a story, from the old folk to the boat. It was all thorough and wholesome. Thanks for sharing!!

[@mariatorres9789]

I just love that old guy. I want to bake him some cookies, & sit on a porch, & listen to him tell stories of the past.

[@tashimarie3010]

Honestly, I just turned on a random video while I was eating my brunch and was glad this is the one I decided on. Bless James' heart. We need more guys like him.

[@mister_t5356]

You should have lunch with him once a month and start a series of just interviewing him. He probably has some great stories to tell.

[@mrfccomedy001]

Thanks for the feedback and expect more videos soon. Send me a text above🔝🔝🔝 I have something for you..

[@realSethMeyers]

"I wouldn't register it or anything, till the coast guard said you had to." That definitely earned a like.

[@KwanzaaBot1966]

That older gentleman was cool. From one veteran to another thank you for your service sir!

[@dillonfox1525]

This was a treat to watch. James reminds me of my grandpa. Service member, full of humor and just fun to be around.

[@kimberlylott1459]

Awe James was enjoying the company and y’all are awesome for going along with him for the day. Love this. 💖💖💖

[@MegaDeansy]

'Anyone need the toilet before we leave here ?' - the thoughtfulness of James is endearing, a top-quality character !

[@MsMesem]

How normal, well adjusted people think; not about themselves 24/24. I recently had a 29 year old person house sit. Totally self obsessed. Frightening.

[@MoosesValley]

James is a great old guy. Taking helicopter lessons and thinking of buying a helicopter at 80 years ... He sure is an inspiration. Btw, how much was the Life Boat + Trailer ?

[@marwin3332]

do u know the price yet?

[@MsMesem]

80 is the new 70. Honestly 80 isn't VERY old.

[@rock07879]

​@@MsMesem very few people at 80 are this mobile. In fact the vast majority of men will be dead before 80..average male life expectancy is 76 i believe

[@Glenn-em3hv]

God gave us 120 years to live and if we ate right and weren't being poisoned by everything they make now we would easily get there. I'm 63 and I think that I'm only halfway!!!

[@ricardiocka]

That was probably the best day James has had in so long. I’m stoked you guys all got some good out of it. But you know that you have to roll that boat now right? Gotta test it’s lifesaving capabilities haha.

[@mrfccomedy001]

Thanks for the feedback and expect more videos soon. Send me a text above🔝🔝🔝 I have something for you..

[@bamcorpgaming5954]

this is incredibly cool. i sincerely hope you put some real tlc into that boat. there are people who renovate these and live in them full time on the ocean. i am excited to see what kinds of renovations/projects you come up with for it.

[@dcdeath6844]

This old man just met some kids interested in what he's spent a decent chunk of money and some of his life on. Of course he wants yall to hang around and show off all his cool stuff too. And I'm here for it. If yall dont go back for a flight idk what kind of youtubers you pretend to be...

[@cfjermedal1]

James is an absolute American treasure.

[@rustoration4199]

This was super wholesome man, and really loved that guy, definitely reminds me of my old Grandad, full of stories and awesome humour. Make sure you get James back on the channel when you get this thing on the water ❤️

[@chrisgrabowski2678]

God bless you Badge, Mr. James and Tommy. This is exciting! Badge & Tommy, I'm happy that you guys are doing things that you enjoy and that you share with us. Peace all

[@LHyoutube]

What a delightful old dude James is! You'd never find a more decent person.

[@oggie1967]

Came in because of the lifeboat but to be honest watched till the end because of James & the way you guys treated him with respect! What a cool guy!❤ Got me hooked now!👍😊🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@timarichardson]

"I bought a 64 person enclosed life boat off Facebook Marketplace." Gosh darn right you did, you absolute legend.

[@bbay1977]

He is one of them guys you always want to meet and gather all in knowledge they can offer while they are still with us here on earth. Makes me want to drive out there to meet him and spend the weekend fishing and all with him.

[@wildcard5555]

I love this guy. He's awesome! I bet he's got a ton of stories to tell and a helluva way of tellin 'em. Part of the value of this buy is the experience.

[@alfonzo9289]

I'm sure you guys made that man's day. He reminds me of my grandpa a lot. He passed 8 months ago. Made me smile.

[@davedyall8332]

We need more people like James in this country. First time viewer btw and you make a compelling story and seem genuine. I might subscribe.

[@howtspendip4853]

do it....Doo it

[@mitchperrin2543]

Defiantly recomend

[@edpoe1108]

You ought to. A lot of fun here!

[@highjinx6519]

You’ll regret it if you don’t. AYO is hands down one of the most entertaining creators I’ve found on yt.

[@briansegarra9312]

Check out his series on the itty bitty his house boat pretty cool project

[@jonfisher9214]

When you spend the day with an old timer, cracking up laughing at him, but still have the utmost respect for him, that's a good day.

[@joesutka319]

2 suggestions Potty Chairs . You know the kind you put in the room with the bucket underneath . Turn them into Fishing chair. Minnow bucket , rod holders, coolers , and cushions for comfort

[@FishingWithNorm]

Ayo has all the infinity stones of Facebook marketplace boats

[@LTW-KOBE]

James just wanted some people to hang out with and talk to for the day lol He was great

[@nomaderic]

Yea I used to do pest control and when I'd go to guys homes like this they'd be so happy and want to talk for hours. Makes their whole day to hang out and chat with someone

[@clarky.]

The man is a legend. And the memory of the day is worth more than anything money can buy. And I know your never going to forget this experience and total respect for how you conducted yourself and treated him. And you have one more new subscriber. Stay safe and thank you for the video. It's really made my day is such dark and uncertain times.

[@jacksenlandiseiii6403]

Iq wantnninwanr this

[@PromoteLiberty]

I demand you do regular videos with this old man. The world needs it.

[@Jeffrey_Tyler]

I can not wait to see Lojo's face when he sees this in his pond. It will make a great addition 😂

[@jayjarrell2454]

Dang it Ayo…as soon as I think you can’t possibly do anything crazier, you go and buy an enclosed lifeboat. Keep up the great videos!

[@yourconscience3140]

And totally redeem yourself!

[@chrisbennett812]

In my line of work, a large number of the people I deal with were born in the first-half of the last century. The ones who are still lucid and have their wits about them will positively make my day. I’m glad you got to have that experience. Can’t wait to see your next post about this! Thanks for sharing!

[@releasingendorphins232]

This was such a fun video. I know nothing about boats and haven't been in a sea, but I wish you the very best. James was awesome and the picture he gave you is a major treasure. Thanks for the adventure. Learning all I can from Oklahoma on You Tube, Barb.

[@MakoPCandNetworking]

Love seeing these get a second life. My father and I purchased a life boat from an old tanker about 10 years ago, we transformed it into a glass bottom boat and run tours with it in baja now.

[@therealjd1503]

Nothing like shopping with grandpa. I think it was exactly what you and him needed and didn’t know it. Great video

[@k9eden]

Much respect for James!! Would love to see you guys reunite for a video taking a quick flight once he gets the 3 bolts in his plane fixed!

[@JMBurke]

I'm so glad I found your channel! started with the Itty Bitty. And you're hanging out with the old cowboy is just friggin priceless. That guy is awesome. You absolutely have to keep in touch with him every few months.

[@27Lauralynn]

This boat looks pretty sweet! James is freaking hilarious! Gotta love him and his stories
