You're exactly right when you say it is a matter of the individual performing the safety check, each person has their own style. Some can take as long as 20 minutes while others can be completed in 10 minutes. It really is a matter of how much the vessel owner/operator desires to learn (with regard to the recommended items and there are 8 of them) or how many questions they have. Also, if the owner/opeartor has taken the Boating Safety Class they have first hand knowledge of what safety equipment is required on their vessel and this can usually indicate a smooth and efficient inspection.

The safety check decal requirements which are either state/federal requirements are the same for the Marine Patrol as they are for the Power Squadron, all 15 of them.
