Motor Vessel
John F. Kennedy; "277-foot (84-meter) vessel that shuttled commuters between the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Staten Island from 1965 until it was taken out of service last August [2021]."

“The Staten Island Ferry is definitely something iconic,” [Paul] Italia, a real estate investor and co-owner of the restaurant and comedy club The Stand, said Friday. “We wanted to figure out a way to save it and to do something special with it.”
Italia said transforming the 2,109-ton ferry into an entertainment venue will cost millions of dollars and won’t happen anytime soon.

I once knew a guy who was involved with the purchase of a ferry from NYC, and he did the evaluation. He said the deterioration and damage from the elements was so severe and extensive, that it was apparent this vessel could not have passed a valid marine inspection in years, and was simply being kept afloat by bribes and corruption.Wow. I am so totally .... unsurprised.

She DID. 1) her character is dead. 2) she sued Marvel/Disney after the last movie for shorting her (they released it streaming instead of box office which cut her take).

She DID. 1) her character is dead.
She'll do just fine. She had a career before the Marvel movies, she will have one after. She's A-List.

Jost is married to Scarlett Johansson who makes tens of millions of dollars a years doing comic book movies.
LOL. You think she is going to give him money for THAT boat? No way. That’s his baby. Haha.

Yes the maintenance costs will be outrageous. Better flip it quickly. Storing and or mooring way too expensive. In NYC, everything is priced out of sight!

You know it’s bad when the corrupt government won’t even divy out some cash to repair it.

“Jost is from State Island too. Will he get a ferry?”
Scarlett Johannsen will get it when Jost turns into her third ex-husband.

Doesn’t she make more than him?

Is that the same one that the Ricardos and the Mertzes were on?
The boat is the John F Kennedy, so it is post 1964 and I Love Lucy is 1950s so I would say no.

Whose money did the jolly gigolos use? Kate Beckinsale’s? Scarlett Johanssons’s? Kim Kardashian’s?

I thought it was covered with rust...:)
Why else would a ferry be orange?

He & his fellow cast mate Jost & another partner have $280 K in it to buy it. They plan to convert it into a floating restaurant, comedy club & event venue. Probably not as crazy of a thought as one would seem.
A risk, but not a huge one for these guys.

This is perhaps the only truly funny thing related to SNL in years. They won’t even be able to make the toilets function without huge expenditures. Ha Ha Ha!

“It’s sick”

Get over that stupid and disgusting talk.
