I hit the above link, and finally figured out what LOTO stood for. Been on this forum since June.
Should it be LotO?

Sure. Makes sense to me.
Just tell the FB crowd to change it.

I just don't get anyone wanting to go fast at night. Our lakes are 25mph after sunset and I usually cruise at around 20 because unless it's a full moon you just can't see and react to anything at speed on dark waters...

Sunseeker is one of my favorite boats/yacht builders. My brother and I enjoy exploring the various models at the Annapolis boat show. Top notch quality. Thus, it is painful to watch the one in the beginning of this video. I'm sure many here subscribe to the BBotWeek channel and may have seen this already. It's a shame viewing this beautiful yacht getting banged up on Lake Michigan. Fortunately no one was hurt and insurance will help ease the pain. Still, I wince when I watch. :| Be careful out there...

Back in 07 my 2 month old 220 was hit at night by a drunk 21 year old and then ran off. Made a police report that night, I/ we found the boat the next day called police and when they made contact with them the first question they asked was if we're all ok. Admitted to not calling that night because his parents told him not to, it was best to wait and see. Parents were big money insurance people and took almost a year in court to receive my deductible out of them. Has ruined night boating for my wife ever since.

Yes it gets scary out there. That's why I think the more led lights the better. Last year we were just floating out there and this stupid bow fisherman was headed right at us even with his 50 billion power lights on us. Scared the crap out of me.

Scary real world stuff as we night boat frequently.

I’m glad you speared to be ok , and hopefully in time your wife’s comfort level will return.

Now a great night mission will be drilling a hole in the side of their hu....ahhhhh Nevermind. 🤣
