Best Answer

Depends on the configuration of the lights. Where are they at on the vessel. There are many different situations where you could see red and white lights, such as: pilot boat, fishing vessel, engaged in fishing, restricted in ability to maneuver and so on. The most likely answer to this question is a white masthead light with an arc of 225 degrees and port side running light with an arc of 112.5 degrees. In most situations you will be the "give-way" vessel and will NOT have the right of way.

You are operating a powerboat at night you see res and white lights on another boat what do these lights tell you?

seeing the Red & Green lights without knowing what they are telling you means you should not be the operator of a boat of any kind until you learn that they are Navigation lights and even if you are not operating a power boat, you still need to understand what they mean. I suggest you do a boat lic. course before you cause an accident.
