I didn't see anything in the article explaining WHY he had to have a
fence around his boat. Is this a case of "Because we said so!" or is
there a sensible reason for the policy?

As for the fence he built, it's brilliant! We should all do that when
faced with unjust laws and rules: either fight them (if we can) or
mock them.
A mural of a boat is likely less of an eyesore than an actual boat.
And if somehow it weren't, it probably runs afoul of other community
codes.
But community codes are subordinate to the 1st Amendment. A boat isn't
speech but a mural of a boat *is* speech and community codes will have
to do a lot of heavy lifting to overcome the law's heavy presumption in
favor of protecting speech.
In this instance, the mural would seem to be "speech" only to the extent
that it argues against the ordinance it's responding to.
Doesn't matter why it's speech or what it's trying to say. The
government isn't allowed to restrict speech based on content or the
speaker's message.
Your 3-year-old's random finger-painting isn't "speech".
It is with regard to government censorship. Even 3-year-olds have rights.
Of course it isn't, assuming he used more than his middle finger.
