[@madtownangler]

Don't worry there are plenty of bearded women out there for Davey to trim LOL. Need more Davey Gravy soon.

[@bobhoots2771]

Why don't you Raise the ceiling If you're doing all of this work? That's something I haven't understood since the beginning. If you're going to do it do it right

[@duaneayers6117]

Two hours later

[@sarahkur9501]

Love your videos Ayo you make me laugh all the time love when Gravey is on and Norm and other guy but from my understanding you all aren't friends anymore by his video what are your thoughts/your side you and Norm needs to make a video about it unless you guys don't want to I understand completely I love you guys have a blessed week

[@tayloralexis1504]

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@jacobrace4727]

I'm just happy to see that you aren't trying to cut any corners on this restoration. A lot of people wouldn't be willing to put in the amount of time, money, and effort that you are putting in for this project. Your passion is what separates you from other KZbinrs. I believe that in the end of all this, it will pay off twofold. Love the content, keep up the great work!

[@BillySellick]

it helps when the job pays for it self.. i mean by the income and extra subscribers just because of this restoration. i subscribed just to see how this ends up.

[@TheLoxxxton]

​@Billy Sellick I agree. I subbed for this project and always hope for the next update. I feel this one's been pit on the back burner a little bit because of the time and difficulty involved. I hope the extra views and revenue generated help the project.

[@kegsrifa]

Hes not a very smart man but hey everyone can do as they please with their own money

[@peanutbutterisfu]

It has to be a labor of love because it makes ZERO financial sense to build this boat you can get a big boat for next to nothing because there always is a person that doesn’t want to pay storage fees and Will basically give the boat away.

[@hainesgarage4751]

Couldn't agree more, all the work he's putting in is gonna make for a very good quality and long lasting boat that he can enjoy for years to come

[@jaredcriswell9636]

Binged this whole series in one day. I'm now emotionally invested in seeing the Itty Bitty be fully restored.

[@skipro5079]

I just did too

[@daviddelaney4106]

Ditto

[@andrewprice6194]

Same 😂

[@Peeweetara]

Watching all of these updates on the Itty Bitty is awesome. The love and care you have put into her is amazing to watch, thank you for sharing.

[@PumpKellogg]

Thank you Ayo for showing us the warts and all process of restoring the Itty Bitty and not just posting a single video that makes it seem easy. Keep doing what you are doing

[@aaronjones4670]

Thank you Ayo for your effort and laughs. You make my day better all the way around

[@MattKellyFishing]

Dude, you're the best.

[@M1keG23]

Your momma is too 🥵🥵

[@jamesdisbrow2157]

Hang in there AYO. It will be finished soon enough. I am glad you found the problems now instead of later. Thank you for the great videos. More Davey, please. God bless.

[@jamesclayton3078]

I love watching the restoration of this boat. I grew up in Eufaula and my dad used to have a sail boat on that lake. The Itty Bitty was probably on the scene when my father was out there living his best life. Looking forward to seeing this hit the water soon!

[@mikeg0802]

That’s an Itty Bitty problem…. Loving this series, nothing is more cool(or maddening) than restoring an old boat!

[@shawnalexander7914]

Or someone's old wife

[@zorrakas320]

@@shawnalexander7914 facts, seeing a lonely, sad, housewife turn into a milf by my sole creation is what I imagine giving birth is like.

[@clydeksmith]

heard that! just did a refresh and tank replacement on a 98 flats boat. tank was in the bow. was a lot of glass work and a few bucks but i’m out enjoying it now!

[@dirtyrivrc]

I have to say, It's so fortunate you found people who seem like solid folk to help you. Can't wait til she is done. 🤘

[@markstott6689]

I'm excited to see Itty Bitty finished but also i don't want the story to end, which is a little selfish on my part. So with today's episode there's still a couple of months to go I'm guessing. One thing is certain though, the people that you have found to help you have been absolute gems. In fact you've been a very lucky young man. I'll be here patiently waiting for the next episode. 😊

[@chriswiltse2281]

The amount of time and money poured into this project I very much look forward to seeing the end result. The guy you bought it from got a great deal in consideration. It's crazy seeing a boat that would have otherwise make its way to the dump without your channel stepping in. It's also how myself and many others found your channel. I look forward to seeing many fishing trips on it.

[@parabellum5847]

setback after setback...one things for sure...when that boat hits the water, she will definetly be solid. AWESOME JOB!!!!

[@CharmingAthens]

I watch your channel ONLY for this boat. She is going to be such a classy lady when done.

[@RobJaskula]

Same! I love Itty Bitty

[@OldManBOMBIN]

Little bit of workin' on the boat, little bit of fishin', little bit of Gravy. I know it's early, but I think this restroom visit is gonna be the highlight of my day, thanks to AYO and Co.

[@livingfortheonewhodiedform4418]

Thank you for not skimping on the repairs. I want to encourage you to keep going this is a great series.

[@monkeymanyo21]

I have been watching the build series since day one. Can't wait to see it on the water.

[@riverakers]

Don’t give up on Itty Bitty! You have gone this far finish it up. The payoff will be worth it.A solid one of a kind survivor.

[@bbay1977]

She has came a long ways so far. Imagine if you were still doing all the work by yourself and the pain you would be going through. It's great that you got some help with her so she is totally well safe when completed.

[@ryanfester2824]

Really cool to see you come this far dude. You go from a guy having no clue what he got into and no idea what to do, to somebody who has a little more confidence diving into things and learning (and not looking like a complete fool on camera) and you learned a helluva lot on the way. Been watching all these as they come out. Can't wait to see the final product!

[@johnfalk8425]

First off: THANK YOU for the content and taking us thru this adventure with you, second: better to get blown around during the build rather than on the water! Lastly: keep pushing brotha you are almost there!

[@dadsquatch79]

Brothers out here having all the fun I wish I had the time (and money) to have. Keep it up man!

[@kaduzie_productions7257]

Definitely dig the fishing breaks! Nice touch and keeps the core values alive haha. A quick suggestion on the flooring for the front and rear deck. Maybe use a composite decking and cover the deck with boards like a yacht. Love your channel and stoked on all your boats!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Glad you said this.Super-yachts are now using sand in their coatings so the deck isn't slick.I've suggested this to everyone I could for years.Especially Docks.Put your sealant on and blow sand over it so it sets in.Decks,steps,etc.

[@sean_oac]

@@bryduhbikeguy just an addition is to use play sand, it will be consistent and clean and is generally what is recommended

[@DJEyeBee]

We love you too, bro! I'm straight up dying to see the Itty Bitty finished. It has been such a fun process to watch and you've found some really great people to help the project move along. Itty Bitty content is my favorite, for real. The payoff when it's done is going to be amazing.

[@travisdennison8239]

Thanks for the update ayo!! Been waiting for one for a while now!!

[@Billy66-]

you should make openings to the old engine space so you can use it as storage

[@mateodavid1967]

Keep making videos like this and you just take as long as you need to finish the boat. You are genuinely entertaining man. Itty bitty is going to make your channel, this is just bonus footage. Personally, I'm very happy to watch this style of content from you.

[@TracyH007]

Huge Project, Huge Success!! Can't wait for the next Itty Bitty video. The Maiden Voyage will be Incredible. Keep On🎣fishn' Ayo.

[@straight_adventure712]

Hell yeah! Another fishing break sounds awesome! Glad that the Itty Bitty is coming along and that you're progressing slowly but surely! Love the content! Can't wait for the next vid bro!

[@7Wolf2k]

Keep on looking for the light at the end. You'll get there and watching this journey has been awesome. Thank you for the update. More fishing while the fiberglass sets, too!!

[@OGcryptonite]

As always, Davey Gravey once again steals the show….this time with his vocals!!!!

[@sharaiders]

This is the only channel that when the sponsor ad starts, I don't skip. You and Davy could sell glasses to a blind person.

[@clayband9183]

Thanks ayo for everything you do!

[@TheHawgMarshal]

Thanks for the update on the Itty Bitty.

[@Firefoot03]

Dude, we're impatient with you (in a good supportive way 😉) it's gonna be so siiiiick once it's done and cannot WAIT for the videos you'll do with it once it's completed!! Keep it up man!

[@JC-nk2nk]

Ayo.. I gotta tell you,, the Itty Bitty has been the best boat rebuild series I have seen yet, funny and productive. The fact that your an average guy doing the work makes it really relatable..

[@millsw9757]

Great work, ayo, love where your channel is going

[@dodgeguyz]

Always look forward to your videos. I’m especially happy when I see an Itty Bitty update!

[@tomasjosefvela1]

You are the luckiest unlucky boat owner in the world!! the talented people you have found to help you with this thing is amazing!! I really admire your ability to stay plugged in and to stay focused on the goal, thanks for sharing, you are very inspiring and so are the people around you, seriously, thanks.

[@exious1]

I'm not a fisherman and not a big fan of boats, but this is my favorite you tube series.

[@ronaldcole7656]

Ayo you are the man bro I'm with you no matter what bro

[@matolius]

So happy to see you take this project with style. I appreciate your uploads and all your hard work buddy.

[@pridmoreryan]

I don't like fishing channels. I can't stop watching yours. Keep being genuine and reaching for your dreams. You got this bro.

[@KENNEY1023]

I'm glad you're not giving up on the Itty Bitty. I like that you're showing how cheaply and shotty the boat was built. I watched a couple rebuild a camper from the 1970's the same types of cheap materials used not built to last. Your boat and the campers were exspensive. The Itty Bitty is going to be so solid your great grand kids will be using it.

[@Christy_Nyeela]

I am absolutely loving this series. I can’t wait to see the Itty Bitty on the water.

[@C.Simm2024]

Love the series and I'm glad you're sticking with this project, it's fun and it has potential.

[@jakelordjr.5256]

Love seeing updates on the Itty Bitty! No sense in rushing things and cutting corners...it's a process.

[@nanoreaper5002]

Glad too see you working on this project and taking your time, it took me close to 10 years for me to restore my 1970's ocean going sail boat, so i can tell you patience is key to success.

[@nkwaak3776]

Love this series! Power through, it’ll be worth it!

[@richardharp4398]

Keep the content coming man. Even the setbacks. Just keep in mind it’s all a part of the journey. Most of us joined when you got the itty bitty. Fiberglass is the foundation and if it’s not right, there’s no itty bitty. Love your attitude and hilarious commentary along the way. “Just two bros hangin” got me. Glad I wasn’t drinking milk.

[@highjinx6519]

Same I would’ve definitely spewed. 😂

[@bllrdtm]

I love this series, Ayo. , I can't wait to see you fishing off that top deck out on the water with ole, Davy Gravy. I would love it if you took a few more fishing breaks. Maybe invite Davy down to fish with his insane Zebco collection. Ayo, you're the perfect big brother to Davy, I've the videos even more when you have along. I hope you get us more videos , I just can't get enough.

[@juliahunsinger3070]

Nothing beats a bit of DV to top off a fishing excursion. Keep on that Itty bitty.

[@bradleyhutchinson7778]

Love ur content man keep it up

Thank you for the update video on the Itty Bitty. I love that boat and I can't wait to see it's rebirth on the water. God Bless ya Ayo!!! Take care and have a great week!😊

[@GDaddyTx]

Can’t wait till the Itty Bitty finished, love that you’re not cutting any corners. She’ll definitely take good care of you, bring you plenty of great fishing adventures for you to share with us. Love your videos, thx for sharing!!!

You got this! I have faith

[@jasonmoser24]

I haven’t fished since ‘94 and I haven’t been on a boat since ‘93. Terrible deep sea fishing experience and yet here I am. One of your videos caught my attention and now I’ve gone down the rabbit hole with you and a bunch of your boys. Keep up the fun videos and doing the itty bitty right. Love it

[@noyopacific]

I don't give a rip about the bass. I can't wait for your first cruise down the channel on the way to Itty Bitty Titty City ! BTW, are you going to tell your side of the story about your divorce with Lojo ? 😜 Thanks for stopping by to check in Davey Gravy !

[@allenkennedy6748]

I originally thought the series would teach you all the obvious things like fiberglassing 21:31 ,framing, etc. but your attention to details of presentation continually make content interesting. Pacing-wow. Always engaging. (I loved the ducking attempt after the lightning).

[@jonathanvouk2200]

If the itty bitty was never finished a lot of people including myself will be disappointed but I bet he will finish

[@revelationakagoldeneagle8045]

The two best days of boat ownership is the day you buy it and the day you sell it! 😊✌️ You guys are doing a great job with this project.

Couldn’t disagree more. Best days of boat ownership is fishing tournaments, trips with friends, and big bass.

[@WotanSkyFather]

Don't listen to this guy

[@mariohernandez7935]

I always look forward to a bitty update. I really enjoy this. Thanks for doing what you do AYO!

[@budm9982]

Missed this update 2 weeks ago. Very nice seeing you making things right with Itty Bitty. The time it took to restructure the bulkheads makes it no mystery why it was not done right the first time. You're doing good. Keep your eye on the prize and learn a bunch of lessons and skills along the way. Good job!

[@kimhenry5658]

I heard a great quote today that relates to this sort of project. “The test comes first and the lesson afterwards”. Anyone who makes anything knows this. Keep on keeping on, cheers from Tasmania

Proud of you,not many could go threw what you have and finish the boat.alot of ups and downs.i hope you have years of fun with her.

Part of me wants the final itty bitty video bc i cant wait to see her finished, but part of me is happy to see the project drawn out. I hope the rescue boat gets an upgrade soon too!

Absolutely love this project!! Wait patiently for every update vid. Keep going brother. We're all behind you and rooting for this thing to come to completion. Now we all have a vested interest in seeing the Itty Bitty take it's country wide tour. The men you've found have been so informative and wonderful to watch. I can only imagine what it's like to be in your shoes. It's amazing that you have found such giving men to work with. Keep the updates coming. I know you may think that they're boring, but it's lilke watching the boat building version of This Old House. Can't get enough. it's the best 30 minutes of my day. By the way, if you get a chance to get back into that pond, would love to see some more sallies whacked. Love ya back brother. Keep 'em coming.

I can't wait to see what you all get up to with this project when its done. The work that has gone into it is something else, and I've quite enjoyed watching the whole journey. Glad you're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, it's been a long time coming. I think ultimately with all the challenges and things you've worked through with this boat, the more you'll enjoy everything in the end.

Please dont give up. So happy for the update . Blessings to you and yours.

It's alot easier to put the resin on the wall then lay the dry fiberglass over it then work more in with the brush. Basically what you were doing on the table.

[@rustyshackleford886]

Awesome job, The itty bitty has come along way. Good on you for staying with this project and doing it right. There are guys that have picked up old glitter boats that needed some love and just didn't know how to get it started.
