I don't think they'll tow an occupied boat unless the occupants are drunk. They'll yell at you, maybe cite you, and say don't get caught doing that on the lake again!
Some folks get away with it though. They find a quiet place where other (unoccupied) boats are moored and settle in. No lights and leave early. It's hard for the MP to know who's supposed to be there without getting close enough to look for the mooring ball. Parking in or near a channel will likely attract attention.
