I haven't had time to hunt it down myself but in the link that I posted above mention was made of it. It did specify outboard powered boats, not all according the article.

"In the early 1980s – over 20 years after Dick Fisher showed the world that small boats could be unsinkable – the USCG made flotation a federal law for outboard boats 20-feet and under with engines over 2 horsepower".
