Just to clarify, one of the charges Littlefield was convicted of was in fact failure to keep a proper lookout, but obviously that is not the major conviction.
Here is a snipet from a Federal Lawsuit that Littlefield brought against his insurance company describing his conviction:

On June 20, 2003, a Belknap County Superior Court jury found Littlefield not guilty on the indictment's first count of "negligently causing the death of another in the consequence of being under the influence of intoxicating liquor while operating a boat on Lake Winnepesaukee," a Class A felony, but guilty of the second count of "negligently caus[ing] the death of another while operating a boat . . . and fail[ing] to keep a proper lookout," a Class B felony.

So, while Islander is correct in saying a Meredith man is in jail for failing to post a proper lookout it is certainly a misleading post because Islander failed to mention the over riding negilgent homicide conviction.
I do not believe that the Hartman boat was unlighted or that Sue15's operator was drunk or left the scene so for Islander to try to use it in this instance is a case of apples and oranges.
