Would a custom amphibious vehicle need a boating license and appropriate gear?

I posted this question in the boating related section of Yahoo Answers and was suggested to ask this in the Law & Ethics section:

I just saw this truck on CMT that looks like a custom Dodge Ram convertible with a Chevy Corvetty rear end. The bed was converted into an engine compartment. Looked nothing like a boat but he drove down the road and straight into a lake and took off. Would he technically be illegal to drive his "truck" on the water without a boating license or would his license plates be good enough since it's arguably enough a truck? Would he need enough life vests for all of his passengers?
