Does anyone actually remember seeing this on tv?  I am too young to have seen it.  I think that it is late 70's vintage.

Last scene... boy, obviously in his dad's new Tupperware 160 & new motor... with a girl (clearly not his sister) beside him.  Starlit evening as they prepare to back away from the dock.  He gives her a little (warm-up) peck on the cheek... he is, after all, a clean-cut, red-blooded American kid.

She is apparently looking forward to a nice little cruise in the bay with the stars overhead and the warm summer breezes in her hair.  The viewer suspects she's in for a bit more.

The boy here is looking forward to... well, the screenwriter just spells it right out in the last words of the ad.

Have to say when I first saw the ad I thought it was a Saturday Night Live spoof.
