Obviously you'll need something for power while you do the proper installation of your electrical system. Pigtails work fine.

Battery powered tools work good too.

If you are just restoring, sure, fine - while you are there and actually working on the boat, and cognizant of the load you are drawing. Ensure the breaker on the surge protector is rated the same or lower than the cable - have a Type C extinquisher handy and go for it. Most boat fires start due to electrical problems (per BoatUS studies) not galley fires - vigilance and preparedness is the key.
