    Pretty much illegal to use any spotlight on a boat, as it blinds other boaters.

    That is what I thought, but what about a red lense spot light?

    Probably even more illegal then just the white one, becuase red & green are navigational lights.
    You could try blue, but that'd be impersonating an officer... Pretty much no hope for the bajillion candle power lights on a boat.

    Many are using the 1 million candlepower in colon research.
    As of now no restrictions in how far to go in

    I can't find any regulation that it's illegal to use a spotlight on a boat. i can see where the improper USE of one is illegal, though. I use one and am very careful not to blind oncoming boats. When I shine it, I don't do it to SEE their boat, but so I'm SEEN. It's easier for them to avoid me if I haven't burned out their retinas.
