Has anyone tried using it in a boat on a lake? It is powerful enough?

Ours wouldn't hold a charge long enough to get to the lake. We bought an Interstate Batteries LED Spotlight, non rechargeable, for a lot less money and much more dependability. Don't know if Amazon has it but it is well worth getting. Check it out. Extremely powerful and very bright.

It is way powerful enough. I use it for both finding game at night and when i am out in my boat. Very Bright and best of all it has a long battery life. I have never run one down yet. You can't go wrong with this light.

This is a powerful light. While I have not used on a lake I do use it to spot wildlife on my 10 acre property.

This thing is strong enough to see almost 80 yards clearly, would work to find shore in the dark if necessary.

tough question. How much light do you want? The light shines on my mountain 300 feet away and I can see the bushes and rocks. Beyond that I can't say.

Although I have not used it in the boat, it is a pretty little powerful light. I was so happy with this light,I ordered another one for my son for Christmas. It has a long battery life and it's lightweight. Provides plenty of light for my purposes. Good luck!

The light is spec'd at 240 lumens is bright but maybe a better for a canoe than a power boat. I'd look for at least 500 lumens for boat use, and water proof. Check out what Tractor Supply has to offer, they are on sale in my local store, I may buy one. It would be nice to get longer life batteries, say Lithium or a second choice a metal halide.

Ive never used it for boating but use it to locate livestock out in the pasture. Can easily see several yards with it and the charge lasts pretty good. Just beware that the first click turns on the small work light which can kind of stun you if pointed into your eyes but also very helpful for small jobs or just finding your way without using the full blown light.

I would say yes but watch out for the wind!!! It can blow you all over. I use mine on a river float fishing and can maneuver great in the calm flat parts in front of my camper. Just watch the wind lol. Hope this helps.

Hi!We use ours in a pool but it should work in a lake as well. We have gotten 4 uses out of the unit so far. Despite the cheap price and average construction, the anchors will hold since you can fill them with rocks, etc.

I have had great success with 8- 6x9's in my boat . We have been in rain on the lake not on purpose. No pending issues at all.

I thought it was a good fishing boat but there are a lot of regulations you would have to check with each individual lake and their rules. most require hard bottom boats, which this is not. I used it for going down small creeks where there wasnt much monitoring.

I believe so, but only have used it on the inland lake I live on. The lake was preloaded. Better ask someone who uses on the coast.

I have one of these and use on a fresh water lake.. my paddle sinks right away. Glad I tested it - ended up getting a paddle leash which works, but can get in the way. Better than losing it though I suppose.

just taking a shot here. i have almost no boating experience but this looks like an easy way to get on a calm small lake and paddle around. would this be safe for a novice who has only rowed a boat before?

For most people, this thing is plenty fast, especially if you're not familiar with brushless motors. This isn't something that you'd play with in your swimming pool. I would definitely take a look on youtube, there are plenty of videos. Keep in mind, the boat would be faster in front of you, for some reason I always think the boat looks slow in the videos I've taken.Here is mine on a lake in Willits, CAhttps://youtu.be/qk6b1Uho4lg

I have one with a 2.5 horsepower motor that pushes this boat pretty well. Its not a race boat but probably moves it around 10 knots or so. 3.5 horsepower motor should do even better. Like the product.

Yes, it work great - hold tight and I use it on my boat and in rough weather it hold good.

We use ours on our boat and it is great. We bought one for our daughter for her camper and she thinks it is great - no worries

Yes. Super deal if not in a windy area. I live on a lake and have gone through two already and gave up.

I purchased the battery for it's light weight. It has performed great on our jon boat. We use the boat in small lakes and canals for fishing with a minnkota trolling motor. We have fished for over 4 hours of fishing with the motor being used intermittently most of the time, but, continuously on runs back to the dock or out to the fishing spot of the day. We have never run the battery down. It has performed better than ever expected. The trolling motor is 5 speed around 50 lb thrust. Boat is loaded with small cooler and 2 people of 175 lb each with fishing gear for bass.
