Would be interested in how many of you US to Canada and back travelers have Nexus, Canpass, I-68's?

Just a question of curiosity.
Why bother with the hassle of these?..
In 10+ Canadian customs stops it has never taken over 20 minutes ..most times about 10 minutes from tie up to untie.

Running a small boat North on the inside at night is just plain stupid. No amount of electronics can protect you from the deadheads..I love running at night but not up the inside.
I sometimes run a fast boat between Port Townsend and Seattle at night and I keep my fingers crossed every time..and most times we do hit something..but so far nothing too serious. North of the border I would never consider it.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
