I imagine he’s either going to convert into a personal party boat and bankrupt himself or he’s going to convert it into a floating restaurant or other tourist business and maybe make out okay. Time will tell which way he takes it.

LOL, they will learn the two fundamental truths about boats that all people who have owned boats understand:
  1. A boat is a hole in the water you throw money into.

  2. The two happiest days of a boat owners' life are the day they buy the boat and the day they sell the boat.

I was curious so I looked it up
WA states ferry maintenance cost is $81.50 per operating hour and they consume between 68-75 gal fuel / hr.

YRMV.

A boat is a hole in the water, surrounded on four sides by wood, into which you pour money.

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!
