Took a while to read through this thread. Sad weekend for us in Prattville. Young man looses his life at a party by gunshot, and a tragic accident on the lake. So, so many lives changed! I remember making a post similar sometime back, but I just don't understand why we navigate our boats at night with technology designed in the 40's???? A couple of ten cent light bulbs! Back then, that was fine. Boats could hardly reach plane speed! I am not talking about classing boats like speed boats/ski boats/ etc. so lets not get carried away. The majority, say 99.9% (on the lake anyway) of boats are now capable of plane speed, even many many pontoon boats and there are i'll bet 100 times the amount of boats on the lake! I admit, it is hard to distingquish a stern light from a house light at times. And, there are so many houses. I would probably vote for a no--wake zone lake wide after sunset. We must find a solution. Anyone have any ideas? My thoughts and prayers for the families.
