Not all commercial boats are "inspected vessels." It is a safe

"Inspected vessel" is terminology, not necessarily practice.
Technically, any vessel engaged in commerce, including charter or
rental, is an "inspected vessel." How strictly the CG enforces the
regs pertaining 'em on smaller ones is another matter. It varies from
port to port.
