I was advised the it would be proper to use T/TDDDDDD for a documented
vessel where DDDDDD is the documentation number.

I would think that would be better than T/T NAME of big boat because a
person could tell from looking where the boat came from and that there
would probably be less people on board if the tender was on shore.
OTOH, it would help in retrieving the boat if it went off on its own
without a human intervention (i.e. if lost and not stolen)

However, I was told that a boat marked as a tender could not be used
for any other purpose. (fishing, sightseeing etc)
