Why is it that boat marketers always show beautiful women in bikinis on their boats?

Why dont they show who you are likely to run across after you buy their boat and hit the water? Ive been looking all over the place for those deserted beaches with nubile women frolicking

in the sun dappled water and dolphins cavorting around them.

Update:

NOOOOOOOOO Jake, please dont send the photo of you in a speedo. The

japanese whale fleet is still out hunting.

    Boat marketers know how to sell boats. They show you pictures of what you want. If you REALLY want a woman in a bikini on your boat.....ask her aboard. She'll invite her friends and then you'll have so many beauties in bikinis, you'll be drooling.

    Because it's often true.

    Obese ugly women rarely feel like showing themselves off in bikinis on boats. They are usually at home on the couch or in malls gorging themselves in the food hall.

    Women who are likely to partake in outdoor water sports activities are more likely to be fitter and healthier and more likely to wear a bikini.

    If you are a photographer and turn up at a beach with a nice boat and ask for willing female models, it will be more likely for attractive confident women to volunteer.

    Advertisers not only would be mad to put unattractive people in their ads because of the psychology of "association", but they would also be unrealistic.

    Selling the Dream...the sizzle on the steak.

    Some guys do end up in this company...old and young...guys with deep pockets...big SeaRays or Fountains...deck fluff who willl leave them when the money dries up.

    Sad...but check the marinas on holiday weekends...or go to the beach with binoculars and check the yacht offshore...some boats do have hottie gold-diggers on them.

    Because your more likely to look twice with someone sexy draped over the front of it. Go on I would if they draped a hunky stud on the front of a boat x

    It's because that's what the beer-gutted middle-aged guys like me like to fantasize about when buying a boat .....

    If the babes made you notice the ad, the real answer is obvious.

    wtf kind of a question is that, are you lonley or really just that ignorant? Here let me email you a picture of my fat a** in a speedo, on a boat, and see if you really want to buy it.

    Source(s): source: common sense... and incase its missing I'm really not puttin on a speedo or emailing out my pic... it was used to get my point across.
