Those guys seemed to pretty much cover everything. I would only warn you to not disregard your safety or others for stealth or battery management. I'm sure most of the guys will agree that you will find many jack*sses out there that either don't have 360 or navigation lights or they turn them off cuz they feel like they spook the fish or they are saving batteries. There has been many occasions over the years that myself and other Striper Club guys have come upon a boat that is completely dark and they turn them on at the last second as somebody underway comes upon them. Or they start waving a flashlight around as a weak*ss attempt at a signaling device. Everytime I get a Ranger doing a routine check of me during the daylight hours I ask them to come out at night and write HUGE tickets to the irresponsible boaters. I have only seen them a cpl times and that was when they were looking for stranded boaters and just happened to be in general area. Good luck!!!
