Of course the biggest arguement about the value of their warrantless
searches and lack of need for cause it is also valid for private homes on
dry land.

Most homes are considerably less mobile than a vessel. That's why, for
example, the rules are different for searches of a car as against searches
of a home.

In theory a warrant or sufficient PC is required to search a car or other
motor vehicle in the US. A basic moving violation is not considered PC for
a search. Practice and legality don't always go hand in hand.
