1. In addition to any seizure authorized pursuant to NRS 488.910, any peace officer, without a warrant, may seize and take possession of any vessel:

2. A law enforcement agency shall inspect any vessel seized pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of subsection 1 to determine whether the number or mark in question on the vessel or part from the vessel has been falsely attached, removed, defaced, altered or obliterated and whether any person has presented satisfactory evidence of ownership of the vessel.

3. If the results of the investigation conclude that the number or mark in question has been falsely attached, removed, defaced, altered or obliterated and no person has presented satisfactory evidence of ownership, then the law enforcement agency may treat the vessel as abandoned and proceed in the manner set forth in NRS 488.293.
