Actually if the PWC is a three person PWC then it's a boat not a "skicraft" and so would be allowed, with proper lighting, to operate after sunset. Funny thing is just last week "Mee" pointed out 2 such PWCs headed up Alton Bay just after dark, with sidelights and an all around light on each. First time I'd seen such beasts. I'm guessing they're the same ones Kracken saw.
