The boat wasn't free.  The crew wasn't free.  The canons and the munitions weren't free.  The infrastructures in New France weren't free.
We gave back cod and furs, but not enough to justify the costs.  Same goes for the US, it costed way more for UK to defend the territory than what it was getting back.

None of those costs are the one that would make interstellar trade prohibitively expensive.
