[@pamelaklemp5615]

Andrew (AYO), I'm soooo proud of you for all your sweat and tears over the Itty-bitty ❤ 💙 ♥! My husband and I remember fondly seeing the Itty-bitty on the water at our local marina in Georgia back in her previous life there. She's soooo adorable 😍 and I Know she's proud of herself for finding you to rebuild her anew again !!! Your new "sweetheart has a soul 💖 of pure goodness mixed with a hint of spicy fire 😅🥂👍🍾👏 so she'll be good to you! My husband and I live in Georgia but also Motorcoach in Florida several months a year. Dang it, we'd love 💘 ❤ 😍 ♥ 💕 💗 💘 ❤ 😍 to see her once she takes her Maiden Voyage with you at the helm 😍🥰🤩😍😘🥂🍾! So there, sweet guy, challenge is ON! We (husband and I) always told you that you're our *KZbin Grandson* 🥰😊😄. 🤭!

[@MatchstickBeast]

I just barely began watching this channel like 3 weeks ago and the whole itty bitty saga is what drew me in. I can’t imagine what everyone else is feeling seeing itty bitty float for the first time cuz it is amazing to watch even for a newbie fan like me

Can't wait till you finish her

[@ScotteM]

Appreciate the upload, you should probably invest in a large garage type structure that could fit boats

[@MrJozzuia]

Your production quality has sky rocketed, just wanted to say noticed. While the boat is taking a long time, your ability to produce engaging and enjoyable content has been gorwing rapdily. Thank you for the wonderful content man, I really appreciate being able to follow this project, and the various other videos you have been pumping out.

[@jasonmasters13]

the house boat really has come a far way

[@michaelramos3589]

Do not stop! I can't wait to see the official launching! Keep up the great work and videos! Say hi to Gravy for me! Take care and God bless you and yours.Thank you for your hard work!

[@RobRebel72]

Started watching your videos a few months ago...and just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I admire you for just being you and not being one of those people that takes themselves so seriously. You admit your faults, you own your mistakes, and you move forward and have fun with it. Keep on keepin' on, brother! Keep putting up the great content, and good luck with all of your projects!

[@rskoop4121]

What an amazing moment to see the Itty Bitty floating! Huge respect for sticking with this big, expensive, out of your comfort zone project! Once done I'm 100% sure it will be worth it !

[@jamesmcardle5426]

Nothing makes me happier on KZbin than to see you’ve posted a video. You are my favorite KZbinr of all times. Your personality is awesome and contagious

[@micktre7608]

Such a fan of your tenacity over obvious inflections, as are my students. I'm a lecturer at James Cook university qld Australia. My expertise being genetics. Your site a fine example of "why not to inbreed" keep the laughter coming home boy

[@marym.kelley4644]

I’ve never been more invested in the future off a boat than I am the Itty Bitty. This thing is unreal amazing and I am so stoked to one day happen to see that bad boy out on the water. You & Gravy should totally take the next year to take the itty on the ultimate challenge: the great loop in the bitty

[@fivetool]

I have been a subscriber since the beginning of the Itty Bitty project and it is starting to look like this might actually happen. Thank you to Shawn for his service and taking the shake out of the old girl. My only concern is that you have changed the weight distribution in that boat so much will all of the modifications that I hope it does not end up floating like cork on the water or riding so low that you are moving across the water like a snow plow. Can't wait for the next update. I am loving all of your content, AYO.

[@hunterwarner393]

Dude Ayo, I don't care how few and far between the Itty bitty updates are. These are hands down one of my top 5 video series on KZbin to date. I know whenever you post that I am going to enjoy it. When its all said and done, the ol girls gonna be a Cadillac on the water.

[@manytrickpony695]

This is my favorite aspect of what you're doing.... I can wait for the final product.

[@kjaubrey4816]

I usually think houseboats look like floating mobile homes but yours has such a unique look. Coming from a guy who drives a school bus with a military trailer for my work van, I approve of the quirkiness!

[@spacepeanut8993]

Many of us are too emotionally invested in this boat to let her sink! Love the ad read! 😄👍👍

[@KENNEY1023]

I haven't laughed that much in a while. I live futher South from where the boat was in Florida. Those summer storms are crazy so funny seeing your struggles. Reminds me of something I recently went through that involved a chicken coop and tarps 😂 the chickens made it they are safe.

[@JuiceGuy07]

The Itty Bitty revenge tour around the country is going to blow the internet up. Take your time. Take care of your mentals. We're all with you on the journey man.

You gotta kit this out, full spec. Fish finder, HD TV, surround sound, BBQ, the lot. Then a little tour???? That would be sweet, home away from home. Love all the work you do AYO, keep them coming brother.

SO happy for an Itty Bitty update video! Great progress and now enclosed out-of-the weather work space for even quicker progress. Can't wait for more & more videos in this series.

[@jamesdisbrow2157]

AYO! It is great to see the Itty Bitty getting to the next level. It will look great when it is finished. I can't wait until you get it on the water and take your first jump into the water. Thank you for the update, looking forward to the next one. It was great seeing Davy Gravy in the video, too. God bless.

Your getting so close! It's within Arms reach. Keep powering on.😊

[@kinslersrccustoms6945]

AYO I have been a fan since befor you started your channel and I am even more so now. It must be so hard getting that boat worked on not having the space to store it at home indoors. So take all the time you need brother to get her done at your own pace, whenever you post up a video just know that I will be watching it as soon as it is up. From a bid fan in Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦. Thanks for sharing your videos with us.

[@darploin5071]

You've reached a substantial milestone in the itty bitty project. Congratulations dude

[@Brettstv]

Like the way this video was edited. Nice work. Cool way to integrate the bike into the video. Well done!! ITTY BITTY FLOATS!!! Love watching you guys bring the boat back to life!!

[@WhoTFstolemyname]

Working with an RV company is smart. Bet they will do a nice job. You will want to think about weight distribution, planing out, etc. Probably not in their wheelhouse, so putting tanks, etc. will be crucial.

[@pgnandt]

I used to own one of these. Glad the RV guys will do the deserved justice the boat needs.

[@codycampbell7163]

Hell Yeah Brother !!! I hope everyone can appreciate the dedication this guy put into the ITTY BITTY 🤘 Great work AYO!!

[@vorden25]

Dude I'm so happy this has turned out for you I have enjoyed watching all your pain and stress and I will enjoy watching your success

Thanks for the update. I’m looking forward to seeing the content you’re going make with this boat , it’s going to be amazing. She’s taking a lot of time and money but it’s going to be worth every penny. You and Gravy are the best!

[@johnculhane438]

I’ve been watching the saga of the itty bitty from the middle of the pandemic. I just wanted to say that some windmills need to be attacked like Don Quixote! Never give up on your dreams! One day you will sleep on that boat and actually have fine dreams! On the water!

You know it’s a banger when ayo posts 💪🔥🇺🇸🔥💪

The quality in the videos now are absolutely INSANE, a lot has to do with the videography. I will add that even though you've hired someone to follow you around, I like that you still vlog because it makes the video feel homemade and natural. Keep up the great work!!

As someone who worked on a boat for over two years, congrats on the milestone and keep grinding. Can’t wait to see that Yamaha pushing the itty bitty around

[@seanwalsh999]

That is a good looking trailer and motor bracket, I think this thing is going to be a winner, I hope you will haul it all over North America so your subscribers can see it and you in person.

[@grizzelgrizzel74]

I love this channel, AYO, and everyone that he has on with him... The best part is that I can watch it with my 8yo daughter because there is minimal if any cussing, minimal if any suggestive content, etc. On top of that AYO is always doing building challenges that teach my daughter about creativity when building, building principles (and sometimes what not to do lol), and thinking outside of the box. This is a great wholesome channel, great guy. Hard to tell if I like the guys and their antics more or the actual challenges and races etc. Good Luck man, thank you for creating! I hope the algorithm pushes your content out to more people and you can get to a million subs!

[@smquaii]

Thank you!!! I've missed the IttyBittty updates. have fun!

[@michaeltaylor1498]

I feel like the itty-bitty is all of our dreams finding a little shimmer of hope in a what looks like junk and making the envy of everyone cause it's just a 1 of a kind

[@briandallmann3338]

You can launch a boat without getting wet! Connect a long rope to the forward cleat and disconnect the winch line on the trailer. Back the boat in with some momentum and then let the boat float off. Use the rope to control the boat as it floats off. You can also connect a line to front and back on the boat to have more control. Love the updates!

[@reportman101]

Great job on the boat. Can't wait for the first catch and cook over night video on it.

[@codycampbell7163]

What a UNIT !!! So happy to see this thing on the water 🤘

[@DABUremixd7]

Hit the back of those bolts with 2-3 passes of flex seal if you can, that has worked so well for me whenever I've had to put any hardware into/through the transom on my project.

[@BigAwkwardChunk]

Every time I see a video with a sponsor for an electric bike they always show a few glamour shots and talk about it for 30 seconds and that's it. This man rode it the entire video! I love that.
