I would imagine so, but to me it doesn't make sense to only be able to
judge half the boats length by having a 23' boat look like it's only
12.


I don't think it's as easy to judge length at night, despite where the lights
are located.


Judging length is actually not that important except with very large
boats like freighters, or tug boats pulling a barge. *One of the best
things a small boat can do to improve its visibility is to install a
radar reflector mounted as high off the water as possible.

Mounting can be as simple as suspending from a boat hook held in a
fishing *rod holder.


Another reason these $5 million dollar boats should have rod holders. I knew it.

John, If you bump up to billion dollar boats, they come with rod
holders as standard equipment!
