No Stern light boats

Keep your eyes peeled when out on the lake at night. Saturday night on my way back from the Alton Fireworks to West Alton, I came up on a boat with no stern/white light. Only thing I saw was the instrument cluster and wondered what the heck those lights were. I lit up the boat with my 1.5 Million candlepower spot, and saw it was a boat. Then, and only then did they flash a flashlight at me, but did not leave it on.

Then coming back from Wolfeboro, while still in the bay, I saw two boats without white lights. (All boats mentioned were power boats, if there was any question, and none of them were "offshore" boats.).

Hard enough to keep track of the other boats that you can see, and look for markers, and glance at the GPS and charts, without being suprised by a boat in front of you without the proper nav lights lit. What could they be thinking about???????
