A strobe light is not the proper light for a non-powered vessel as described. No flashing light would be acceptable under the Rules for this purpose. Reason is that a flashing light is typically a navigation aid and could confuse boaters. While any light is better than no light, you're better off being a prepared boater and have a fixed light (like a flashlight) on hand. Powerboats should also carry some sort of battery operated fixed light in case of an electrical problem.
