Also, does boutique have OPSPEC A015? If they don't, then an SIC is always a required crewmember.
They do have A015. SIC is only required per the GOM, and that is somewhat questionable if it's loggable or not - the FAA has never taken a stance about it.
Log PIC when you legally can, because that time cannot be taken away from you. Not because of your resume, but because your SIC time might not legally count if FAA says something about it eventually.
GOM is accepted, not approved. You can have a GOM that requires a second crewmember in a 172, and it would have the same weight as in a PC12.
On my logbook they are easy to separate. Any time before my 135.299 and IOE was sole manipulator PIC, and time after that has been acting PIC. I'd assume that's the case for many pilots.
