it all depends on what you are comparing it to. This isn't designed for a 30 ft 
boat, but rather for commercial operations. SpaceX had talked about how this 
replaces the earlier satellite services they have had on their boats that were 
unreliable and cost >$150k/month with much better service listing for 
<$50k/month (for all their boats)

This is designed to be an all-weather allways-on service, most boaters could 
just use a standard starlink RV setup and put it out when they need it (taking 
it down when the weather is poor)
