DANIEL S. PEARSON, Judge.
We concur in the trial court's conclusion that the stop and consequent search of the 26-foot formula boat occupied by the defendants, Doyle and Vaughan, were unlawful. The trial court found that the only reason the United States Customs Officer stopped the vessel was to search for contraband and that he did not stop the vessel for any purpose authorized by Title 19, United States Code, Section 1581(a) (1980).
