You think someone that's living aboard 24x7 isn't "using" their boat?

===================================

Don't take offense unless the shoe fits. If a boat never moves under
its own power, it is not being used as a boat, it is being used as a
floating house trailer. Ditto for boats that have all of their spare
supplys piled on deck, and ditto for boats with 5 years of barnacles
growing on the bottom. THAT is the sort of thing which inspires
anti-liveaboard regulation. Please don't say it doesn't happen, I can
provide pictures.
