Overnight anchoring could prove to be more dangerous than speeding boats if not handled properly. All it would take would be one moron to anchor in an area they shouldn't without lights and they will get flattened. We have all seen what can happen to a basically stationary vessel that is hit by a boat doing 25+/-mph...
Designated anchoring areas that are WELL marked and lit would be key. I see much more potential danger in this proposition than the current situation on the lake with no speed limit. Let's face it, you can't leave your lights on all night long without killing your battery unless you set up a bank of batteries that will handle the lights for an entire night. And you don't want to leave your boat running all night long for fear of CO poisoning.
