no they don't because it makes the boat heavier which means it would tip the boat easier

Another View; (in the US) The answer depends on many circumstances which are not spelled out in the question. WHAT is the size of the paddleboat (i.e. passenger steamer or rowboat sized)? How many passengers does it carry? Is it on navigable rivers or lakes or ocean-going, or is it on a privately owned body of water (i.e.: pond)?

As a general rule, safety equipment regulations applying to passenger carrying watercraft are under the authority of either the state's Natural Resources Dept, or marine police or if the water is navigable, under the control and authority of the US Coast Guard.

Is an inflated life vest more or less dense than an inflated life vest?

An inflated life vest is less dense than water, which allows it to float. The buoyancy of the vest is due to the trapped air inside, making it lighter than the volume of water it displaces. Therefore, an inflated life vest is less dense than water, but if you're comparing it to a non-inflated life vest, the inflated version is more buoyant but still has similar overall density characteristics.
