I agree with DEPUTYBILL about the importance of the correct paperwork showing release.

I was one of many people who bought auction boats seized during DEA/Federal Marshal raids for drug smuggling back in 80's and 90's. Supposedly the paperwork was all done correctly removing these boats names/numbers from the hotlist.
However, I knew someone who bought a 36' sport fisherman at one of those auctions. He was rousted regularly by the Coast Guard and other agencies. That boat name/description was still on the drug "BOLO" list and the coasties and other groups would light them up. They would board them and hold guns on him and his wife (they were both in their late 60's) while they searched almost every time. There didn't seem to be any way to fix the problem, either-
Put a real damper on their Intracoastal Waterway travel. He was not pleased.
