The use of this term "Great Lakes trade" isn't clear to me. Is it just
to define the fishing area of the Great Lakes or does it mean some
activity that's not defined anywhere in the CFR that I could find?
Section 67.19 (b) talks about requiring a Great lakes endorsement for
"employment in the Great Lakes trade" but doesn't define it.

This should help a little:

By the way, I think you are way over complicating the whole issue of
what you can and can't do. If I understand your questions, the issue
isn't how many passengers, but a whole subset of extraneous issues
that just aren't relevant to what you are trying to do.

In short, if you use the OUPV capability, under demise or not, you are
limited to a max of twelve on an uninspected vessel.

It's that simple.

Just a thought.
