I forgot about this thread.
My wife and I were out in the dark in Stuart, FL up on plane at MAYBE 20 mph lookigf for the channel and markerson a well lit night.
We struck a concrete piling at the very last second after I saw it. It ripped the side out of the boat. We were lucky and it stopped me from running at night.
As to the drinking, there was none.
Until you can come up with legal driving lights on a boat, stay at the dock after dark or idle.

I think people think it is a good idea, just not in their own backyard. It's definitely a good idea in some of the smaller lakes and rivers, but to be out in the middle of the ocean and having a speed limit doesn't seem right to me. I think if people are following the current laws (operating with the proper lights, not drinking, not operating recklessly, following already posted speed limits) then accidents like the ones that have been the topic of discusision here lately would certainly decrease.
