I night ride all the time with an occasional spot light to verify locations of markers. It's the Thirll of running ShotGun and pray you dont hit something. Tried Night Vision but the Anchor Light and surrounding lights destoryed my view, would probably work on a Lake with your lights turned off.

Heading back towards town in Grand Traverse Bay at night is a white knuckle experience. All the building lights and auto light moving along the shoreline blocks out most navigation lights on other boats plus there's usually a number of small fishing boats anchored or tolling w/o light.

I also have a spot light that I use to scan the area around me
Their price is unbelievable, that size waterproof LED in black is well under a hundred bucks, I just put two on my tractor for worklights and they are awesome.

Just looked them up, you can now get 13" for 70 bucks, combination spot and flood http://www.autointhebox.com/cheap-20...hite_p277.html
