Here in Arkansas, alot of the beaters these guys use don't even have WORKING lights, so not here either!!

Lights
 
Add Minnesota to the list, never seen lights at the ramp unless its getting dark. Our lake is 50/50 performance boats and fishing boats I would say and I have never seen fishing rig with there lights on either.

Not in FL for sure and I've probably launched boats in 20 States and have never heard of it.

What do you do if you have daytime running lights and just sitting at the ramp :whistle:, is everyone just waiting on you to retrive your boat even though you dont have a trailer? do they assume that the trailer is still attached to the boat for ease of hooking up. Never heard of this before. :stooges:

Ding ding, you would think that is the clear indicator.

"Oh no, I'm just taking my empty boat trailer for a lovely cruise today!"

Maybe he's trying to start a "new thing." Also, during the day trailer lights are very difficult to see.

I'm glad to hear so many "Not in my state" replies. My wife and I are proud of the fact that she can back a trailer better than most at pretty much any ramp. This guy did make her feel kinda stupid.....but she still got the trailer in, in one shot.......and without lights. ;)

Now for the comment about "Her" headlights being on, I think you got it! They usually are on.

I'll do the math on the state check-in's later, gotta go to work.
