Default Formula Lighting???

Saw a boat at the Wolfeboro fireworks the other day that has it's red/green lights mounted on the arch in such a way that they were behind the all around light. Not sure if it's legal, but it was sure confusing trying to figure out which direction he was headed. Having 2 "headlights" and a maze of blue cockpit light completed the picture. Pretty sure it was a Formula bowrider.

Just use the color to determine which way it's headed. AFAIK, the red and green lights don't have to be on the bow or ahead of the all around white light, they just have to be visible from certain angles at a a certain distance.

I believe MP boats have their red and green lights on the pilot house instead of the bow ... so it must be legal
