Since he has to report the value of the boat as income, he can then depreciate it just like he bought it.
If he doesn't report the income, then the basis of the boat would be zero.

Professional tournament fishing is somewhat akin to professional gambling. It's something more than a hobby, but often something less that a business. An interesting fish tale:
"Each tournament I fish costs about $7,500 for entry fee, food, lodging and gas.. . ."
