Tonight a Minute Maid Commercial aired on a local TV Channel.

This commercial featured a 31 FBC

Did any of you guys happen to see the commercial?

Harry:

Yes, I seen it too. I couldnt believe it at first, and when
it came panned on to the boat again, it sure was a b31.
It was a "plain Jane" boat, with no top or anything too
fancy. Now just how did they decide what boat to put
on there? hahaha.

saw it too...actually my wife picked up on it, when I looked up...sure enough a 31.

It reminded me of the other commercial with the 31.

Just finished warching ShipShape. At the end of the show was a commercial for H20 Float....a floating survival holder for 9 bottles/cans of water. At the very beginning of the commercial is a Blue 31 FBC.

I walked in one night when Bowersocks was singing "Janice Joplin"....been pulling for her ever since.....

My shameless email to Minute Maid:
While watching American Idol the other night I was elated to see at the center of a Minute Maid spot a Bertram 31. As the owner of one of these fine old beauties and a huge Minute Maid fan for eons I salivated. When I went to the bulletin board of http://bertram31.com/newbb/ ( a lose confederation of owners around the world) I found that there are several aficionados of Idol, Minute Maid and Bertrams. Had I known earlier of your interest I would have renamed mine (see picture) from Dreamsicle to Minute Maid. The color would have made an instant impression. It could still happen. Hm?

Told you so!

Glad you did the diesels? People just can't understand the difference they make in a B31, like night and day.

Hey Mikey - the OJ people sign you up for a gig yet? Maybe you can sing and I can accompany...sort of a fart-a-long?

Bring along a can of Minute Maid Lemonade on your trip...then it's right back on track a 31 and Minute Maid.

Walt,
Tractor farts don't compare to Uncle Vic on orange juice. Vic, assume you were talking about orange juice and not grovelers causing your volcanic gastric eruptions. Hate to think that all that literary work for UVI's was causing Miss E to leave the room.
Iced tea gives it to me worse than beer.
How's that possible?
Not a word from Minute Maid.
Farts!

Mikey - guess it never hurts to ask, maybe the OJ market is soft right now. Been at the camp deep cleaning ole AJ, she got sorta neglected last year while I was puny. Took her for a hi speed tour of the Tickfaw and all is well once the lawn came off her bottom. Doubt if many 38 year old boats come back to life like a B31 after a long sleep....she's like a new penny.

Best Boat Ever Built.
