SNAG SOME ITTY BITTY MERCH!! - ayomerch.com
Also, bigger sizes come in a lighter color grey!
Nice. I will be getting one
@@AYOFishinggonna need you to rename one of the boats Titty Committee. I’m sure Gravy would appreciate.
Sizes should start at Large, and go up XL, XXL. If your a man and dont wear a large you are in fact a lady.
AYO The floor shouldn't be that tight it needs room to shink and expand its gonna bubble and wave you need a little gap around all the edges. No edges should be touching the wall or anything like that
We are definitely looking at that one. 🧐
Nascar really commented 💀
HEY MOM AYOOO FINALLY MADE IT‼️😅 @NASCAR Find Away And Sponser Are Boy ✌🏽💀✌🏽⁉️
This was one of the last channels I expected to see here 😂
Let’s see a sponsorship!!! Come on NASCAR! You know your boy Ayo deserves it!
What’s up nascar
AYO - I just have to say that it is so commendable that you have seen this project to the end for us. I've watched since the beginning and my God there have been a lot of pitfalls. Yet you have persevered. Thank you. You've really shown some amazing character.
He isn't done yet....
Ditto! I was just thinking the same thing lol. He knows we are all chomping at the bit to see it done and is a bamf for staying on the grind!
@@alarmedplacebo1579 Come on Dude wheres the itty bitty ???? we want the itty bitty :) COME ON DUDE
I am almost as pumped as you are to see this project on the water. The Itty Bitty is what originally brought me to the channel. Didn't know about your old work, or Norm, or watch fishing videos in general. My interest was more in tiny houses and water adventures. Hence trailerable house boat. Please keep shooting the tiny annoying to film and edit construction. And more frequent but shorter updates would be appreciated. Give us 10 minutes more often. Doesn't have to be a full 30. The updates too can be... Itty Bitty
SAME. ayo really brought me into something i never thought i would love
Same here, from the Netherlands. Can’t wait to see the guys taking itty bitty in to the water and gravy as a captain of the love boat.
Need 30 minutes or more for each video
What he said!!!
Same. Tiny houses/houseboats was what brought me here. That, and my favorite cat was named Itty Bitty Kitty.
STACY! Stacy's mom has it going on. And she's as pretty pretty as the Itty Bitty! Thanks for the update AYO!
The amount of work you have done on this boat is incredible.
Yes the teets on this holstine are rubbed raw
Finally!
Man these projects seem expensive, it’s a good thing you can make videos like this to help absoib some of the cost!
😂😂😂😂that was good 👍
12:27 I've both installed and lived with that style of floating lock-together flooring. One very important thing - especially if the floor is going to get direct sunlight or experience wide temperature swings - is to leave room around the edges for thermal expansion (which you can hide under baseboards or other trim). Otherwise, as the flooring heats up it will have nowhere to grow and will buckle itself up off the subfloor quite noticeably.
Really happy to see more Itty Bitty content. Can't wait to see what you & the guys get up to with her.
exactly right.. He will soon find out.
Exactly what I wanted to say. Didn't he even say it was supposed to be a floating floor? My neighbor made the mistake of putting his laminate in too tight not leaving a gap to the walls in his house and within a year it started buckling lol..
@@napoleano2748 all he had to do was a quick google of this type of floor being laid professionally.
@@thegoldman246 bro, he crimped wires with extended long nose pliers. The flooring is the least if his issues
You're busting your ass working on that girl! I'm excited for you and I can't wait to watch you and gravy have some adventures.
I always hit the thumbs up before I even watch the video, that's how much confidence I have in AYO.
This is the way
I'm so in love with this build. Finally someone satisfying my attraction to sunk cost fallacy kinda projects lol. It's not... but bc of the grind.... it feels sooooooo worth it in the end I can't wait to see the smile on your face when she's done
Found the channel randomly when the project first started. I came for a boat, an stayed for Gravy 😂
To be honest when you bought this boat, I said no way he sticks this thing out, its going to be a nightmare. But you have proved me wrong, so awesome to see it now. Amazing work and keep it going, cant wait to see her maiden voyage.
Love the vids Ayo they never disappoint and they always make my day every time you post but we need more Davy freaking Gravy😊
Glad to see the progress !
One suggestion on drilling through metal. Use a hole punch to tap an indentation in the metal where the center of your drill hole will be. Secure the metal w clamps or a vise to make it more stable. Start with a drill bit about 1/2 the size of the final diameter you want. A drop of oil in the drill hole cavity helps alot. Drill through, then switch to the final diameter drill bit.
Yes, cutting oil applied throughout the drilling process will help a ton.
@@davidbiren2062 and not use blunt drill bits haha
And to add to this....drill slow. lower the bit speed.
Or, stfu
No one asked!
The dude is getting it done, maybe throw out some positive input.
Entertainment value, keep doing it your way!
I recommend “Clear Silicone” caulk behind every exterior fiberglass intrusion into the boats hull.
They will absolutely leak if not and you will begin to have standing water in the bottom of your hull.
I am sick at home right now and found your channel just a few days ago. I binged the Itty Bitty videos instant and was wondering when it will continue and here it is. Great videos, love to watch them!
this dude is the whole ression why i love house boats so much, love yeah Mr. AYO
FINALLY I NEEDED ANOTHER ITTY BITTY UPDATE!!! Been watching since the very beginning, shes come along way, you should be proud! :)
I have been rebuilding a motorcycle almost as long as Itty has been going to visit all those nice folks that help you! Brother, I have shed tears right alongside of you, with you, and for you! You'll be falling off into the water before you know it!
You should get a light that you can move around to spot. Helps when you need to see in one specific area.
Spray foam the outer walls and ceiling. It will help with the heat and the cold. And it cuts out a lot of noise that those old boats had. She’s gonna be a keeper after all the work.
Problem with spray foam is if you ever need to work on anything you have to dig all that crap out. As a remodeled, spray foam is a nightmare when you open a wall for an easy fix and find that shit. I would go Rockwool...
I can alteady see ayo and davie taking on the lakes in itty bitty,looking good ayo hope to see it on the water soon good luck
When the day comes to launch ~ the~ itty-bitty ~on her maiden voyage.…I hope that you will have a boat/ship launching celebration ( bottle of champagne)that she truly deserves.🍾
This has been my favorite series on CZcams by far. Love the Itty bitty. Jealous sir.
Let's freaking goooo. I love this guy. Can't ever get enough of ayo fishing.
When she is done you need to go fish the great loop with her! Really put her through her paces. Can wait to see her finished.
Secconded!
When completed make sure to float the boat to find your new waterline, your bottom paint will most likely change angle after interior is added causing a shift in weight.
It’s looking great! I know the time involved, like a second and third job!
No need for bottom paint or waterline, it’s a trailer queen
Exactly what I was thinking is how much weight is either added or less with all the upgrades....
Man you got the perfect workshop and tools for this!!! I can only ever dream of having that equipment!!
Been following this project since the start! Great work and dedication! So sick!
You might want to consider a generator and plumbing your fuel tank to that too, makes it nice when it all runs off the big tank
Love it!!! My favorite boat on You Tube!!! It's gettin' there Ayo,I can't hardly wait!!! I'm so excited and I just can't hide it,I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!!! LOL😂
Take care Brother,thanks for the video and God Bless!!!❤😊
You should put big stainless steel washers on each bolt for your flood lights on top. You should also put sealant in the holes and on the bolts before you put them through.
I usually trace a "gasket" type thingy with the sealant on the bottom of anything that is going to be bolted on the hull, on top of what you suggested with the "holes and bolts". Be generous with sealant or its just a matter of surprisingly short time before you get a new hull rot or leak.
Watching at 12 at night in the UK, this is worth staying up another half hour 👍
Totally doing the same mate
Haha doing the same
Same
AYO I'm so excited for you man!! You've worked so hard for so long you deserve this and it's coming out amazing. So stoked to see you and MR. Gravy on the maiden voyage catching so many fish making Itty Bitty memories
Nice!!! Patiently following this project since Day 1! Congrats for sticking with the Itty Bitty and sharing the journey with us. Can’t wait to see her done!!
That flooring looked exactly like the stuff I used in our 2000sq ft house. I did it all in one piece with no breaks between rooms. I hope you put 1/4” gaps around it because it will expand and contract. And with no gaps it will start to buckle.
Your exactly rite. He fit pieces tight,which is a no no. Where he lives,the humidity gets high and being on the water. Edges will definitely buckle!
Agree, especially in a boat (marine environment with a flexing hull)….
I don't think the water resistant flooring expands as much as the older stuff. It's like a rubberized material. So it may be safe for a long while.
Looking good! Nice work, she's an itty bitty boat with big LOVE ❤
Can not wait for the Itty Bitty's maidan voyage!!
Can’t wait for the finished product. Good work
I kind of want to see you and gravy go trout fishing or something. Ya know what i mean? The Itty Bitty looks like she would be relaxing to fish on in the cold with a cup of coffee/cocoa.
But hey good job man Love how you're working on it keep up the good work
So proud of you Ayo though all the blood sweat and tears we're almost done
You are a true visionary. That boat started out ROUGH. But I am impressed. The boat looks great and I believe it will finish beautifully.
When you’re drilling through metal slower is best. Man, I have watched your channel since day one of the itty-bitty. So proud of all the work you’re doing! Fantastic.
I love so much that you did all your own modeling for your Itty Bitty shirts(ha). Ordering one tonight. Many of us are probably close to as excited to see this project come to fruition as you are. I want nothing more than to see the first catch and cook in this thing
She's LOOKIN ' 😍 GOOD! Can't wait to see her Under Way ! Love all the things you've done so far great job 👏 👍
As long as you have kept weight on the centerline, or evenly distributed port and starboard, you won’t capsize the top-heavy Itty Bitty. Been with you since the beginning on this project.
Thanks Ayo!
If you haven't already, make sure to use some heat shrink around your electrical connections bud. Boat is really coming together brother! loving it!
I cannot wait to see this thing finished!!!
Saw the Itty Bitty, had to Click. Your earlier videos have inspired me to take on restoring a old SUV I got for nothing. Like your project, each time I took a step forward, I found a new problem and felt at square one again. Well now I have learned to weld, fiberglass, do engine work, and countless other things, and the light is at the end of the tunnel. I am so pumped to see you are almost done.
Oh man! Can't wait to see a 48 hours catch and cook with norm / davy!
Norm sucks!
I noticed you are using sharkbite fittings on your pex pipe. Im a plumber and im telling you now that those leak in just a matter of time. Recommend going to a ferguson plumbing supply and renting a milwaukee press and using viega press fittings!!!! Fittings are cheap and so is cost to rent the tool! Worth the extra step!!
I can't wait to see Gravyy catching a ⁶lb Sally off the rig!!
I live for Itty Bitty update videos, I cannot wait to see this as a finished project
Great video Ayo the Itty Bitty is gonna be Awesome. You ,Davy,Bro in law and Smalls is gonna have some good times on it .. Thanks for the update on her . Stay safe and Keep’em coming 👍👍👍👍👍👍
You should definitely build a fish aquarium to fit in the itty bitty!!
Pretty hyped about the Itty Bitty. It’s how I found the channel! Also, Stacey’s mom has got it going on.
Love the boat content, I think some seadeck on the front and back decks would really set it off.
Dear Ayo,
Let me start by saying that I know you want the Itty Bitty boat to be done more than anyone. You embarked on quite the project a couple of years ago and most people wouldn't have endured what you have to see it through.
As a folllower of your content from the first Itty Bitty video, I desperately want to see the next video in the series. I don't even care if the boat is finished during that episode or not. You are my favorite CZcamsr that I've come across and I look forward to each new release. The Itty Bitty series, however, is by far my favorite content and I've been patient for much longer than I thought I'd have to be based off of your previous communication.
During the final minutes of the most recent Itty Bitty CZcams update, your direct quote was "I think In a few weeks we're gonna see the old girl done, which for the first time I actually mean it." The video was posted October 15th, 136 days ago now.
At the start of the new year, I was getting more and more anxious for another update to release with each new day. I kept wanting to comment asking where the new video was, but I held off. Then, on January 9th, you posted an Itty Bitty update on Instagram with this next quote in the caption. "After two years, we are a couple weeks away from coverin this bad girl with fat sallies." I was thrilled to hear you were close and I was thankful I didn't reach out to ask where the update was.
Well, it has now been 136 days since you initially said that you were only a few weeks away from the Itty Bitty being done, AND you actually meant it. It's also been 50 days since your last Instagram update for the Itty Bitty where you again said you were only a couple weeks away. Please give us a new video soon, even if the Itty Bitty isn't done. I'm sure I'm not the only one who just misses the old girl and wants to catch up with how she's been doing.
Thank you for always putting out fire content. I can't wait to watch more soon.
Maybe spend some time outside.
@@diamondautopg8556 we're literally in the same comment section of this video. Hope to see you outside soon!
@@csjumpman3 lol fair enough.
Can’t wait till the 24 hours in the itty bitty with gravy and/or norm. Love it
Dude Ayo I freakin love your videos man. Especially these Itty Bitty updates. I'm just as excited every step of the way of this project as you are. You're genuinely one of the few youtubers that bring a smile to my face when I see a new upload. Can't wait for the ol girl to be done!
Great Job!! Stacey's Mom who's got it going on would approve
I did not think I was going to enjoy this channel nearly as much as I have when i found you, but Ayo... My lord, dude, every video has my rapt attention. Like, my old High School Teachers would be JEALOUS at how well you keep my focus. It makes me want to go back out fishin, and doing all these wack things with my boys. Keep it up, you're doing fantastic my man.
Right?
I could definitely hangout with ayo.
It's not always possible, because they can be bumped/snagged easier, but I think if you mounted those light brackets on a vertical surface (side of the boat or wall for instance) instead of a horizontal surface (deck, roof, etc.) you'd get the full range of tilt without having to...modify...them 😆I say that with nothing but love, as I sport my Itty Bitty shirt while I do every step of my own projects twice. Keep going brother!
Great to see an update on how she's coming along, I can't wait to see her on the water at night. And putting the braket on backwards, I do stuff like that all the time, and it starts to become a nuisance.
I'm ready to see her on the water. Rocking the ittby bitty shirt today with an Itty-bitty upload, HECK YEA!
Hi Ayo good to see some progress on the Itty Bitty,things are coming together great ,can't wait to see the completion, stay safe
Awesome video man!!! She's coming along! Great to see ya.
You're boat is coming along great. I can't wait to see it finished 😊
Great job ayo…. Proud of you for sticking with the itty bitty
looking freaking awesome!!!!!! keep up the great work and thanks for bringing us along
You hung in there and looks like the boat will be ready in a few weeks, so I got to hand it to you for sticking to this rebuild. I wonder just how much of the original boat is left. I guess the shell of the boat served as the template and foundation.
I’ve been watching this build from the beginning. I’m stoked you have kept us all entertained!
Brooooo!!! So fuckin cool man. Know this has been a lot brother, but watching the journey has been amazing.
Edit: Buying some Itty Bitty merch now to support the cause… know this has been a cash sinkhole lol.
Love the Itty bitty updates. Just remember your are not driving a car. When you are underway only navigation lights should be used. “Headlights “should only be used while docking
We need an Itty Bitty update yo!!!
I am LOVIN this project! All Hail the ITTY BITTY!!!
Itty-bitty was the reason I originally subscribed. I've enjoyed all your videos since then. But seeing more progress on the old girl always brings a bigger smile to my face. GREAT WORW SIR!!
She's coming along great Ayo! Also butyl tape is great for sealing anytime you drill into your boat and you don't want water going down that hole. Can't wait to see the ol girl in the water with gravy at the helm!
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it. Looking forward to seeing this boat in the water.
Love this series. I think you just need to find a bigger one after this and do it all over again!
That boat's very amazing. The guy you bought it from is probably so happy he got rid of it. You put a lot of work into it in.The previous owner probably did not realize how much work it needed. Congrats to the boat journey looking good 👊
I’ve never seen such little progress in a 20 minute video. I come back to this guys channel periodically and can’t believe he still hasn’t finished this thing… fingers crossed they don’t butcher it.
A few might have commented already but lubricate your drill bits, it will drill easier, keep bits sharp. Also are you venting that gas tank to the outside? Take a look at sea deck as well. Good for floors, also can use it if you decide to make cuts/hatches in the floor for storage. Glad to see the bity progressing!
Glad to see some real progress happening on the Itty Bitty! Can't wait to see her when shebis done.
So exciting to see the Itty Bitty getting close to being finished!! Also anxious for the camping/fishing video that’s gonna come next!!
Getting so close! Happy to see another vid, keep up the amazing work.
I love this channel so much. It always lifts my spirit
I like this guy. He treats Grady so good.
Gravy
Right?
So respectfull!
Davy gravy is an amazing guy.
... but no match for Davy Grady! 😆
I put down tons, literally tons of that flooring. You can also score your line and snap the flooring. Thank you as always for the content you bring to all of us.
Im pumped for you AYO.... Its been a long time coming, all the best from the U.K
that fuel tank looks a little small, even for a tiny house boat. Still going to be way better than an inflatable though, can't wait for the first outing!
She's coming along nicely! Also, your videos are so educational. I never knew that trout sweat. That's awesome!
It’s really starting to look really good. coming out together great!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Watching you with some of these tools is quite entertaining. For drilling holes through metal start off with a smaller bit at higher speeds then work your way up with larger bits at lower speeds. Loving your projects and videos, bud!
I can't wait for you and the boys to build an itty bitty for the Red Bull Downhill Derby😅
That would be epic!!
It's definitely getting there. Almost done and lookin like fun...
I'm glade to see the boat is ready🎉
AYO thank you for the update. Itty Bitty is looking great. Looking forward to seeing you, Davey Gravy and Itty Bitty on the water somewhere. I enjoy all of your videos. God bless.
