Somewhat heavier stalking: I requested the public "Abstract of Title" records from the Coast Guard (attached).
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that a fairing can cost more than that boat.
Mr. Steven = GO Fairing
It ignores the fact that the Operations and Maintenance costs for the ship will likely dwarf the hull lease cost. So the used comparison isn't really useful on its own.

Nice article. Really good intro the vessel. My only criticism is related to the section that compared the costs to the value of the fairing halves.

Wasn’t able to see the unloading of Dragon this morning, but look who has his beautiful net strung! #spacex #mrsteven
A couple comparisons of Mr Steven's old vs new net.
There was an extensive debate on that over at /r/SpaceX 😆 general consensus was some genre of nylon or kevlar fiber
Not sure if you can tell from these?
It was pretty cool watching Mr Steven dock at what will eventually be SpaceX's BFR factory. Unloaded a flight-proven Falcon 9 fairing half after doing some odd laps with it on board just off the coast. 🤔 #MrSteven #SpaceX
No net implies there were no drop tests.
This back and forth racing happens regularly.
