If the fishing boat is afloat already the rise of the tide will also lift the boat keeping the ladder at the same off the water.
If its aground then a very ballpark estimate would be 2/3 from the keel to the deck. More info is needed in this case.

Thats an old one - the answer is none as the ladder will rise with the boat when the tide comes in . . . . .

Ladder rises along with the boat- which rises because of the tide...
so the answer is None.

The same number as at the beginning of the six hours in the event of some of the ladder extending into the water from the get go.

all of them because when you say a boat is lying in the harbour means the boat is on the bottom of the harbour!
which in turn doesn't matter the water level it is still on the bottom!
