Yes, some vessels will require a licensed engineer. Smaller vessels may not require an engineer. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR title 56) should have all the answers for you regarding manning of ships. You also need to know what ship you are looking at (length, tonnage, horsepower, etc).
I can assume you watched the TV show and you know how to change the oil in your car. The title is engineer not mechanic. There is a lot more than being a mechanic and knowing about a diesel. It's running the entire ship, welding/fabricating, electricity, hydraulics, trouble shooting, and much more. Do a little more research and realize that this is a profession, not just a fun adventure.
