For myself, I agree the USCG has a federal statute authority to board my boat. The federal law would have to be challenged or the law changed.
I do not agree that a state LEO has right to enter my home (read livaboard) unless invited or due to a search warrant.
I am not an attorney, I just play one on TF...........

One late afternoon at this marina, I noticed a local LEO walking the docks. I invited him onboard, showed him around my boat, we talked and walked for over 30 minutes. He was impressed especially with the two IR cameras. Seems their boats do not have IR cameras.
Said he would come back, never did. I guess I talked his ears off.
