Plus unlike a lot of lakes there are a lot of background lights at LOTO. 30's plenty fast for me and I really try not to be out after dark. Whenever I hear a boat going fast at night I cringe a little.

One of the reasons I switched to a different style of boating for LOTO - I will be able to keep this on plane at around 16-17mph. Plus the radar will spot unlit boats. Just came out of paint today.

I was going down the main channel and out of the black night,,, FLASHING LIGHTS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME !!!!! He pulled me over and said I was going 36 mph,,,, I said,,, " OK' thanks !!!! He then proceded to tell me about the speed limit,,, I appoligized and he let me go. He said how dangerous it was with some of the poeple flying around at night,,,, I laughed trying to joke but get my point across and said not as dangerous as you sitting dark in the middle of the channel !!!!! |
He let me off, I knew him, recognized me after he stopped me. He admitted he only pulled me over because he was bored.

I agree 30 mph is good for night, but I guy has to get on plane first and then back it down.

Cree - I was down this past weekend, not in my boat though. Give me a call next time you're down.

Thats crazy wp sitting in the main channel with no lights on, thats not right!
When they do the WP does the bwi checkpoints, there will be about 10 of them out there w/o lights. |
Was the night speed limit ever 35 mph at LOTO ???
|
I never take my boat out at night. First of all couldn't stay on plane at that speed. Just like to be able to see what's in the water. Lucky to have friends with slow cruisin' boats.
