I think it's a lot of boat for the money too and very cool in a lot of ways but... the things a true money pit.
I'm sure you and everyone else here knows more than I do about this, but I'm thinking you'd spend an average of $10,000/yr. or more to maintain it even if it does not move an inch. If you do drive it the price doubles or triples and fuel is on top.

It would be cool as hell on LOTO though! Haha

For that list, it is approx 24-31 thousand. Now that is just the bare essentials, and basic work. New bottom paint is a few thousand. Spring supplies at west marine is good for another thousand. If something happens and you need repairs the bills go up from there. I remember I sucked up a plastic bag in the bow thruster and the shear pins did not snap on the blades. new gear housing was 2k, plus 200-600 per hour for a commercial diver. New house battery bank is 4k.
Purchase price is the cheap part of owning something this size.

I can tell you what is costs to run/maintain a 60ft cruiser. A lot, 50k, probably not. Since I live in the north some things will be different, but to start with, this is what I spend maintaining my bosses boat yearly. 5k for summer dock, 10k for indoor winter storage. Depending on use 5-10k in diesel. 2k for general maintenance, provided nothing has to be done other than oil change once a season. 2-4k for a spring polish.

This thing would absolutely cost to upkeep.
I equate it to the same old thing just on a grandure scale:
Those with the money to afford this thing and the upkeep would probably just buy a newer boat with less upkeep.
Those that can't afford a newer boat are drawn to the lower price but can't afford the upkeep.
It's a cruel irony.
But you get a taste of what this thing costs to upkeep, just read the ad. He lists the costs clearly in it! Lol
