In February of 2007, I wrote to Jonathan Pritko at the NMMA and asked if a copy of this great commercial was available. What kind of world is this where an old fat man can’t walk along the beach and be showered by a bunch of college girls in bathing suits?

Jonathan,
That’s horrible. This is ever guys dream - the hot boat babes :). I did find a still of the old guy in the Speedo. My wife and I loved this - it was the most successful at getting us to schedule a trip to the boat show since we first went to one 10 years ago, and we have gone to shows in Phila, AC and Miami.

Jim thank you for your enthusiasm towards our commercial but we do not have it anywhere.  As a matter of fact due to a lot of negative feedback we have decided to pull this campaign.

Do you have that incredibly funny commercial spot on the web somewhere with the old guy and the boat babes on the beach? That was the best ad I have ever seen in all our years of going to boat shows!
