OTSEGO LAKE (WWJ) -- Michigan State Police investigators are asking for tips from the public as they search for the owner of a boat that was left on the side of the road.

On the evening of Saturday, Dec. 9, police believe the boat was being pulled with a tow strap north on Sherman Rd. through Otsego Lake Township for around five miles, before then vehicle turned east onto Marlette Rd.

While the boat was being pulled down the roadway, the anchor point broke and the boat came to rest on the shoulder, where it was abandoned.

The boat, with the name "Noah's Ark" painted on the side, is white with some burgundy trim, and there's what looks to be Christmas tree inside.

Otsego Lake Township is located in Otsego County, south of Gaylord.

Police are asking anyone who has information about this boat or its owner to contact the MSP Gaylord Post at 989-732-2778.
