A few years ago a business focused on island jobs changed hands. In business for many years, the boats and drivers had never been "commercial" The new owner was shut down for a couple of weeks, unexpectedly, while he re-registered the boats and got commercial licenses for employees. As far as I know, if these had been pick-up trucks instead of boats, there would have been no such problem.

A Realtor can drive me in his car, why not his boat?
To me cars and boats are apples and oranges for operations and safety. Although I agree I realtor should not need a commercial license to take prospects around the lake.
