Also, a vessel less than 26 feet would not require a fire extinguisher unless other conditions are present (inboard motor, fuel tanks, etc).

For a vessel with a permanently installed fuel tank, a Class B fire extinguisher is most appropriate, as it is designed to combat flammable liquid fires, including fuels. However, having a Class A extinguisher can also be beneficial for fires involving solid materials. Additionally, a Class C extinguisher is necessary if there are electrical components on board. It's important to ensure that the fire extinguishers are easily accessible and regularly maintained.
The Coast Guard requires that a class B-1 Coast Guard approved portable fire extinguisher in working condition be aboard every PWC
Motorboats with permanently installed fuel tanks must have at least one B-I extinguisher. Boats over 26 feet may require more. B-I is either 2 pounds dry chem, 4 pounds CO2 or 6 quarts foam.According to US Coast Guard regulations. 46 CFR 25.30.
USCG regulations do not require any B-II extinguishers on pleasure vessels up to 65 feet or 1,000 bhp, unless it is a passenger-carrying motor vessel. However, where two or more B-I extinguishers are required, a B-II may be substituted for two B-Is, although it is a very bad idea to increase the risk that one extinguisher may malfunction and you would not have any backup. Canadian regulations are somewhat different and require at least one B-II for any motor vessel over 8 meters or any other vessel that large, if there is a gas or liquid-fueled heating or cooking system aboard.
