dealt with a warrantless search of a fish house and it could be argued that a person in a fish house had a greater expectation of privacy than one in a boat. But the limitation placed by legislature on the authority of an officer to inspect applies equally to a “place” and a “vehicle.” Minn. Stat. § 97A.215, subd. 1(b)(1). This effectively establishes that persons in a boat have the same reasonable expectation of privacy. Thus, unless a person is using a boat for a pervasively regulated business activity, the statute requires probable cause to enter and inspect a boat.
