Yep I knew that Easter is based around the full moon, just wasn't sure how. Family chose the Easter long weekend to avoid cutting into annual leave, which we might need later this year.

I say go for it.
I have often wondered if it's a worthy investment to get one and rent it out as a holiday boat whilst I'm not in the country.

I think it might be. Houseboats are cheap to buy, e.g. there is a 5 bedroom going for $120,000 - yes a FIVE bedroom boat; and a modern 2 bedder with new kitchen, open plan living etc recently went for 80k. It sold after the first day of inspection. Smaller boats are available for as little as 50-70k. Look up the hire companies and the rates they charge; most charge over 1000 bucks for a week on a basic but fully equipped boat off-season, the big luxury boats can command over $5000 a week in peak.
