His boat was clearly the most popular and the winner. "You can't win because I don't approve of your speech" is a completely anti-American perspective.

So is not following the rules. If the boats were not supposed to contain political messages and he chose to ignore the rules, he should be disqualified. Rule breakers should not be rewarded. Doing so would send a very liberal message.

There was no rule until they realized they needed a rule after the fact.

The Yorktown Fund was willing to go along with the anti-Biden message until they realized that its political messages jeopardized their status as a 501c3 nonprofit organization.
