They aren't small and would be very visible if lighting was properly installed per legal requirements. I don't intend on riding them like a lunatic at night so spray should not be a factor either. I know what you are getting at, but like any other activity on the lake at night it's the driver's responsibility to be safe and drive safely. I am capable, I am just wondering if the law would allow it.

Actually, all I was getting at is that there is probably not enough of a net market demand to even make offering the lights as a $$$ upgrade option viable for the manufacturers. It would probably also take a mild bit of creativity to setup a 360degree light that didn't interfere with the drivers nightvision OR boarding from the rear of the craft.
Just because one state recognizes them as a boat does not justify much to the manufacturers (IMO).
