It sounds better every day as you hear from more industry experts. My dealer thinks it will be delivered as early as 5 weeks from now. I gave up my spot today for one of the first 2 cars they have coming, I’ll probably regret it, but they have more coming I can jump on a little later if I cant...

Awful. David and the family are such an asset to the community, the Kimmerle family is one of the great ones.

I like the idea of being bold and attempting to redefine the category, but that’s a lot of money. I had my spot for the first one from the dealer I do all my biz with. Added up what I wanted on it…. $53k and it was going straight to a shop in Phoenix for R&D and tooling for parts. Figure I’d...

As captain, the safety of your passengers is your responsibility, period. They get hurt, accidents happen, but that's why you have insurance. It's your job to keep everyone safe on the water in your vessel.

So sorry for the loss, prayers to all the family and friends.

One more thing... it may be easy to miss a light on if not paying enough attention. None of us have any idea if the Hallett had lights on or not. They could have had the anchor light on, but it was obstructed by someone standing in front of it since it isn't all that high on a deckboat. 10...

Not true on radar. I almost hit a boat at night on Havasu by copper canyon running about 25 MPH. I was running full radar with Raymarine chartplotter... black/dark blue sailboat, no lights on their boat, nothing to reflect for radar, no mast reflector. If the object does not reflect, radar...

I was a regular on SD bay the past five years up until July of this year and every weekend, we'd have a cruise from the north side of the bay south past the bridge after dinner on Saturday nights at Jimmys. About 10 NM.... My speed was 8.5-9 knots, always.

It's bold... The thing about the decision is that it is a divisive one. I don't believe that the demo they are targeting with this campaign is going to purchase more than what they may lose with the decision. I'm going to reach out to my UA contact and see what they are saying.

I agree, when on the bay, I'd open the blinds in the cabin and turn all the lights on so as much side facing light was visible as possible. Out in SD though, Blue is everywhere with Navy and Harbor patrol. When we'd take the dinghy out at night, I'd light it up exactly as your photo shows...

That's why it's called an anchor light, you are correct. On the larger boats, when underway, the forward facing anchor light actually turns off, leaving just the rear facing light on.

I'm waiting for the next big crash so we can score a 50-55', crystal ball says it's 2022.

Here's a view of the bay at night... the glare helps see the water, but nav lights gets mixed all in with the background.

There are people running on the lake without lights nor do they show up on radar. I almost hit someone with my Formula one night. We were cruising about 25 MPH and all the sudden a spotlight hit me dead ahead, 75 yards away, I turned hard left and looked my screen... nothing. No wake buoys...

So sorry to hear.
