That's a pointlessly high barrier to entry. The Somali pirates made-bank using dinghy's and John-boats to board and take Oil Tankers/Cargo-ships hostage. Often stolen or borrowed from their communities.
You get your Letter of Marque after you've made a name for yourself - its to keep the country that issues it from being the ones to sink you, in exchange for not attacking ships flying their flag. Very little that's vulnerable and/or worth the attempt is going to be flying the US flag anyways, so fuck'em.
