The great thing is that unlike the actual boat, the mural is speech,
which severely limits the government's ability to do anything about it.

The boat is an expression of an idea, hence speech, while the boat is
just a physical object. Though I likely would went with one of those
digital images that you can have printed out. Since it's easier and
quicker to take the photo and then send the image to a place that can
print it out.
