What a load of crap. Almost every boat I have seen has a VIN just as you described. Those cops need some serious education. Good luck and I am sure you will get your boat back. Get a lawyer.

I have used a tub to winterize my boat with a bravo drive. I used a 750 gph bilge pump connected to a set of muffs on the drive. Works great to let the motor warm up and get the antifreeze circulated.
