BREAKING NEWS
Colin Jost, Saturday Night Live (SNL) star and Weekend Update anchor, has made a shocking confession: buying the Staten Island Ferry was the "dumbest purchase ever". The statement has sent shockwaves through the maritime community, with many boat owners and enthusiasts nodding in agreement.
Jost, known for his witty humor and sharp commentary, made the remark during a recent interview with a prominent maritime publication. When asked about his decision to purchase the iconic ferry, Jost replied, "I mean, what was I thinking? It’s a money pit, it’s a maintenance nightmare, and it’s a huge responsibility. I’m basically a boat owner now, and I hate it."
The Staten Island Ferry, which has been in operation since 1905, is a beloved New York City landmark and a vital transportation link between Staten Island and Manhattan. However, Jost’s comments have sparked a heated debate among boat enthusiasts and critics alike.
"I’m not surprised," said John Smith, a seasoned boat owner and captain. "Buying a boat, especially a ferry, is a huge undertaking. It’s not just about the initial purchase price; it’s about the ongoing maintenance, insurance, and crew costs. Colin Jost is just saying what every boat owner secretly thinks: buying a boat is a recipe for disaster."
Jost’s confession has also sparked a lively discussion on social media, with many people sharing their own horror stories about boat ownership.
"I’ve been saying this for years," tweeted @BoatLifeSucks. "Boat ownership is a myth perpetuated by wealthy yacht owners and boat salesmen. Colin Jost is a hero for speaking the truth!"
However, not everyone is convinced by Jost’s comments. "I think Colin Jost is just trying to get attention," said Jane Doe, a boat enthusiast and frequent ferry rider. "The Staten Island Ferry is an iconic symbol of New York City, and it’s a vital part of the city’s transportation infrastructure. I’m sure Colin Jost will come to realize the value of his purchase once he gets used to the rhythm of ferry life."
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Colin Jost’s confession has sent shockwaves through the maritime community, and boat owners everywhere are nodding in agreement.

I’m on my third boat, and each boat gets bigger.
Sure, boats cost money. And like anything that cost money, if you can’t afford it, don’t buy it.
But I can afford my boats, and possibly you can too.
My parents owned a boat all the years I was growing up. Still my father always said “a boat is nothing but a hole in the water you poor money into”
The 2 best days of every boat owners life: the day that one buys the boat, and the day that one sells it.
