You should rig up some simple overhead lighting with like small can lights that run off a battery pack so that way, in the evening, if it's buggy, you can close it up and still have light. Also, you should put screens on the two holes above the bed so you can open them up on nice nights and look up at the stars as you lay in bed.

Davey is the friends everybody needs. He is awesome and uncensored.

I LOVE how AYO treats DavyGravy and also includes he as much as he can. Great Job dude.

Looks great so far. I would have to say you’ll at least need to drill some holes in the mattress base for ventilation. A foam mattress without ventilation underneath will get mold in it. Learned that the hard way and was out a grand on the mattress. So Swiss cheese that base to keep the one and only Gravy safe

That sure is fancy TEMPSC you got there. I’ve spent over a decade inside these things as a survival instructor and I’ve always wanted to see one turned into a floating RV /party vessel. Kudos to you sir

That is a fantastic quick remodel, the only recommendation I would have is to add a little bit of bracing to the bed doors to keep it from bowing when you walk across... If you place a 4x4 brace at the top and bottom of the doors where they meet and then give each door a 2x4 brace along the long edge it would be perfect and feel like a solid floor when closed

The only complaint I have about your videos is that I wish they were longer. I could watch this all day.

Man I've been LOVING following along on this. Maybe I'm biased because I'm Norwegian myself, but honestly I would have an absolute blast building up a big "RV-esque" interior in this. Fun nights on the water, prepared for stormy weather (not Daniels), but able to still be comfortable and dry would be awesome.
Break out the beers, let the rain fall and sing some sea shanties!

20:56 Add a thin 4 inch wide lip to the bottom of one of the doors so that two inches are attached to the door and two inches overhang towards the other door. This way you drop that door first, then the other door and it will "seal up" better and you won't get blankets/sheets pinched and poking through the crack that you do at this point in the video.

You could add another alternator on the engine that would charge a battery pack for lights and such.

I think you have the right color with the blue. The bed looks like it went well. Can't wait to see the first cruse with the new interior!

haha episodes with Davey Gravy are always so entertaining. Love the genuine friendship you guys have and the banter just makes it

Who else is on the toilet, watching the vid?

This is so cool. Your improvements made a huge difference in the feel of the interior. I can’t wait for the adventure with Davey!

We are so blessed to be able to sit down and enjoy this build progress in a 22 minute video. Cant imagine the hard work you guys are putting in! Cant wait for the next one!

Awesome work! I really hope you bring the old guy who sold it to you along for a personal tour once it is finished! Or maybe even sail it down to where he lives (I'm not sure if the distances would be prohibitive though!) 😄

I love this channel. I'd have built the bed differently so you could still use that huge storage compartment but that's the beauty of watching people do things their own way, it gives ideas and makes us all want our own 64 person lifeboat to build

You need to add removable fold down fishing platforms to the sides where you get in and out. They would hook over the inside, that way you could have a guy fishing off each side maybe a foot above the waterline and you could hook a strong trolling motor to each platform on each side, then use the two trolling motors to guide it around while you are fishing. If you are interested AYO let me know and I can get more indepth, love the videos keep them coming!

Would definitely be a good idea to put a Maxxair fan or two on that thing. They can either blow air in or exhaust air out.

Davey was bringing the heat on this one! I was surprised how dark the gray paint made the interior.

You did an excellent freaking job on this boat. It looks great on the inside. Can’t wait to see if you choose to do more to it. Also can’t wait to see when you camp in it. I’d like to see you take a week trip in this boat

Excited and invested to see the evolution of the boat🤩well done so far, it looks great!👏🏽

Ayo are you planning on painting the outside at all? If so I'd love to see it done in a way thats not done often, such as colorful stripes, zebra print, neon colors, your fishing shirt patterns, something fun like that! The boat looks fantastic so far and would love to see some Ayo flair to the outside too!

One of my neighbors put a pop-up camper on top of a pontoon boat a couple weeks ago. It was crazy. They rigger up this massive ramp to get it up there and everything. I'm pretty sure you can take credit for giving him that idea :)

You should put some killz paint on the walls to get rid of and protect from mold/mildew. As well as make sure you have some desiccant in there to help prevent more mold

Prediction: You're going to want to redo some of that bed after you stay in that baby a few times. While it's a cool idea, there are some things that could be done for a better, safer, and cleaner fit and finish that will also prevent any accidental spills from soaking your matrice. I thought, at first, that you were going to design it to be a bed that would fold up from the sides (matrice and all) into the center, making a normal height table top with lots of seating on each side... Missed opportunities, I guess. But, the beauty is, you can do whatever you want, as many times as you want, because it's your boat. I sure hope you put more planning into the solution for the roof and its access, though. That part is a death trap as it is now, and could end up worse if you ain't careful. Good luck. I can't wait to see what you come up with.🖖

This is #14 on trending currently, glad to see it, you make some of the best content out there. Never change!

Absolutely love this series. You are doin an awesome job and you are truly just fun to watch. Cant wait to see the rest.

I can't wait to see the 24 hours with Gravy those are the videos that can make anyone smile, That friendship is something special and I am also excited to see the lifeboat turn into something you can camp in on the water. That is one of my dreams is to sleep on the water and fish as the sun comes up. Thank you for all these videos and all the effort and hard work that goes into them.

Was great to see Davey. He seems to be able to get around pretty good on the lifeboat. Can't wait for the next video. BTW....head/potty? AND, if it's raining outside, how will you vent the cooking area? Do you have some kind of cover in mind?

Glad you decided to fix up the interior a bit to make it livable for a few days at a time. Progress so far is top notch. For extra bunks maybe explore the possibility of installing hooks or rings to attach hammocks to. They would not get in the way of the interior and are pretty relaxing though I have never attempted to spend the night on one.

Dude love your channel. I do construction work and really enjoy the time effort and focus you're putting into the boat builds. ITTY BITTY IS THE NEW KING OF ESclips

I honestly never thought this boat would turn out so good! Time for some adventures!

Ayo, you're doing an awesome job of turning that emergency 64 person life boat into a 2 person living in boat! Keep up the great content! I look forward to seeing you and Davey Gravy do 24 hours on/in it.

I really truly get happy when I see an ayo video , but you know what excites me ?
SEEING MY BOY GRAVY !!! love that guy so much his a legend

haha episodes with Davey Gravy are always so entertaining. Love the genuine friendship you guys have and the banter just makes it

I love seeing how Ayo's growth with working on these boats has evolved in just the past year!!! Great job!!! You should be sooo proud of yourself! ❤

Hey AYO, I think you can better utilize the space if you cut your bed in half and made each side like a murphy bed. You could probably keep most of what you built and just tweak it. This way your bed is stored out of the way against the wall until you need it. And you wont have to worry about doors falling on you, worst case scenario.

WOOT!!!! I've been looking forward to seeing what you decided to do with the life-boat and as always you never fail to deliver. After all the work you completed on The Itty Bitty this will be a cake walk. :)
As always. thank you so very much for bringing us along on another of your do-it--yourself projects, Andrew.

im in love with this series cant wait to see the finished product but im more exited to watch the journey to get there.

Been watching you for over a year now and things have definitely changed lol. Keep up the good work dude love your resto projects all the best from the UK!❤️

Y'all may want to put a thick layer of paint under the bed cover/doors. They are going to leave a lot of splinters in the comforter and bedding!

Dude I’m 14 and I started watching your videos without any boats. Now I started your watching your videos a year and a half ago and I own two boats both which were made before the year of 1980. Love your videos keep it up.

Brilliant Vid! Davey is Great as always, raw and real! Loving the upgrades, you need better ladders on side of the boat with maybe a hand rail and fishing platform. :) Keep doing the Awesome stuff. Really enjoying seeing your work!

You cant imagine how much you helped me through depressive and anxious episodes throughout the last year. I love your channel! Never stop doing what youre doing🤘🏼

Your friendship with gravy is second to none. I admire that.

I've been waiting a long time for the next update, and it was worth it. Things are coming along really nicely.

So glad to see Davy Gravy say he will spend a night in it. That should be another great video. I have enjoyed watching your skills and confidence grow in these boat builds. I look for a new video from you daily.

Sweet job on the lifeboat rehab. You sure have come a long way in your video ideas. Top notch. Keep emailing coming. That is now a survival houseboat.

I can’t believe how much you have done it’s amazing how good it looks and user friendly

The way AYO lights up when Gravy is around is one of my favorite things in the world. That's what a true bromance looks like y'all!

Ayo with another great video. Look forward to seeing where this all goes, I can somehow even see this particular Boat Build a big part of the channels ongoing success. I mean Pet Bass videos to Boat Builds to crossing the Pacific and 24 Million views. All I know is that whatever you do we look forward to going with you. Keep up the great work mate.

Ayo’s my favorite ESclipsr not just for the great content but he’s hands down the most relatable 😊

😂CANNOT get ENOUGH of DAVY 😂❤

I love the videos where you work on your boats! Keep up the great work that 24 hours is going to be a ton of fun!

Now that's progress. I can't wait to see how this ends up.

Love this boat & what you made it into. Can’t wait to see it in action again

So far it’s looking gorgeous! I really liked the first dark grey paint but now I’m looking at my wallet like “yeahhh the money to buy me one has to be here somewhere” 😂

Awesome video as usual. I'd love to have a project vessel like that one. So much potential. Keep up the great work.

I gotta say, the mom in me thought you had LOST your ever lovin MIND when you purchased this monster of a lifeboat. But now I'm thinking WOW! This is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time! You've done an awesome job with it! I'm totally impressed! Love the videos!

The repaint has made such a difference. It looks clean, light and fresh. I do think that the top deck needs a fresh coat of paint too. Preferably before you add the solar panels. I've seen Narrow Boats on UK canals with super thin solar panels that stick to the roof of the Boats. That might be worth considering or at least checking out?

Gravy never disappoints to Crack me up, and you as well. Looks like it's ship shaping up, now to get Davey a lamp...

Have you considered putting some solar panels on the roof? You might be able to somehow create brackets that allow you to have the panels be removable, and this upgradeable, plus they could be stowed inside in case of inclement weather (hail, sleet, etc.).

Great job on the interior upgrades man looks pretty damn snazzy

It was great to see a new video finally from you. I like what you’re doing to the boat, good job. Davy is going to like the new interior .Can’t wait to see your next video!

you've done a kick ass job dude can't wait to see the boat when it's completely finished and in the water

I wanna see more than just 1 video out of this! Looks amazing, could definitely get some rod holders and do plenty of catfishing in this rig. Give her green underglow all around and make her a magnet. Great video as always ayo

Dude, your basically a professional boat builder at this point. Great job

Now it's time for a catch and cook with James. Make that man a catfish lunch! Loving the life boat series.

That looks really good man. Can’t wait to see you and Gravy out in it!!

Great video. I will definitely keep watching this build. One thing I would request is, you give a timetable of how long this build has taken in hours worked and approx cost. Just basic...it would help the watchers/subs (like me) to know this can be done.

I see lots of potential. I can't quite imagine what you might do with all that potential but good luck! I'd keep in mind that a lifeboat is made to survive rough OCEAN conditions, not necessarily in comfort but with a margin of safety.

so you should make some pull out storage containers to fit under the bed, looks like some long rod holders would go great under there, and you blocked off the dry storage area, but if it isn't an air tight bulkhead you could cut into the front of it and place hinges there for pfd storage or something else, won't lie semi jealous of this build because you could really really turn that thing into the complete houseboat/water camper lol

Great job! I really like what you have done with the life boat!

I have been holding off on watching the life boat videos but this one was so good I'm gonna go back and watch the rest, Cant wait to see you take this thing out and hopefully make it even cooler in the future

Gravy (and you all) will need some cushions for your tushions, and you'll really benefit from putting a simple headboard on the bed.
It might even be an idea to make a third 'bed door flap' that turns into a headboard when it's not hiding the bed

You should get some lounge chairs to sit and hang in the "living area" above the bed, so you can hang out inside too. The kind that then fold out to a twin bed and the other buddies can sleep comfortably too. Maybe throw in some cup holders up top and below so your beverages of choice are secure. Your humor gets me so often, I have to rewind and listen a few times. Great stuff!!!

Loving these boat restoration videos! Between the Itty Bitty and the life boat, looks like there are many good times to be had in the future! Can't wait to see them both completed!

DAVEY!!!! good to see you!! Great progress on the new project!!!

Gravy makes EVERYTHING BETTER, even ESclips videos! Good to see you buddy!

Awesome build. That lifeboat has great potential for days on the water just fishing and chilling out. Maybe a automatic anchor needs to be added.

It's refreshing to see someone on ESclips be their real self. Keep up the baggers also, Davey is always fire 🔥

Ayo you killed it with this one. Now all you need is a platform off the back of the boat and a small deck on top. Gotta keep gravy safe while fishing.

I love your videos they make my day and I really enjoy seeing your boat builds.

I swear your videos went into a completely crazy but cool and unique direction you are the BOATMAN much love ayo!

That sea deck floor looks brilliant 👍

brings me so much happiness after an 18 hour day of casting jewellery to seeing AYO has uploaded:')

Hi guys,why don’t you use A ladder to get through one of the Hatches onto the roof , it’s really big inside keep up the good work. Good to see Davey gravy getting involved , Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️

Love, love, love the sea deck! Gorgeous! Can’t wait to see you and Davy on this pretty, big girl.

Surprisingly good result! Could do with a big flat deck on top.

You should make a pulley system for the mattress doors.

You guys did an amazing job!

My Dad and I love your videos, we love to see all the progress on the Itty Bitty and the life boat!!

Hey Ayo, this is by far the most satisfying video of yours in some time. Im almost at the end of it and I dont want it to stop lmao. Love your shit, keep it up buddy and stay safe. Blessings from Sweden

DAVY definitely been missing him in the videos excited to see him back.

Great job with the bed and cabinet, everything is coming along nicely thanks for sharing stay blessed

Great transformation... should make the place more comfortable on your over night excursions. Those underfloor storage spots are a great length for proper Oars in case you have to paddle again. great job.

The farther he goes with this the more i really want to find one myself

I don’t know why but everytime I see bug boats like this I just wanna fish off of them and live in them for a few days
