On a moonless night going into West Alton, once you get by the street light on the right, it sure is nice to have until you get down into the Marina itself.

I will use it to find the Black buoy off of Treasure Island, and other similar buoys not associated with a flasher. Yes, I have the GPS, but I want to see the bouy.

Also, more than once I have come out of Alton Bay and noticed a boat wake that seems to indicate that I am coming up on a boat, but I see no White light. time to slow down, and break out the spotlight. Oh, yeah, there it is ... no stern light / all around light. Mom and Dad 4 kids....

My spot is a less than $10 spot with one of those square batteries with the spring thingees on the top... 6 volt, I think.

I think the MP would have a problem with using a spotlight like a set of headlights, leaving it on and shining straight ahead. I have seen them pull over boats cruising with their dock lights on.
