Just to clear this up!! The vehicle in question is a red Suzuki Samurai 2-Door with a white soft top and black bumpers... probably an early 90's model. I saw a the news clip when they towed it.

I saw that news clip. However, there are two reports of a white Suzuki.

On a dark beach at night, white would be the color that stands out, and be remembered by witnesses. So, the fishermen may be remembering the white top of the Suzuki.
