Below is from the Supreme Court decision denying Dan's appeal.
"The first indictment (#03-S-006) alleged that he negligently caused the death of another by failing to keep a proper lookout while operating a boat, a class B felony."

There was testimony at trial, albeit conflicting, that the boat he hit had no white light on. He was convicted anyway.
In my opinion there are quite a few boats out on the lake that are "failing to keep a proper lookout" at night.
