Considering not registering a ship/boat is illegal in the first place, I would say "yes".
Can you imagine if it was OK to just not register and then you were under no country's law?
I'm sure the US would be more than happy to find out the nationality of the people on board and send them back to their country for prosecution. Most South and Central American countries have much stricter laws against cocaine than the US has.
