They can't board it because...it's not on the river; it's in somebody's garage.

From the story:
described the rogue boat as a light gray 20-footer with "US COAST GUARD" written on the side and a bar of lights atop the cabin. The boat had no Coast Guard number painted on its side and no Coast Guard flag.

Well, when it's in the water maybe they should think about boarding it then.
