I have reached a point in my life where I would like to purchase my first boat. As such I have been merrily drooling over various options on yachtworld and have set my sights on a Sunseeker Camargue 55. The funny (not so funny) thing is that I casually followed a related link and ended up at motor boat monthly reading a blog about the red diesel rule coming into force in Nov 2008 and when I checked the specs on this boat it has a tank of 2850 litres!! Am I wrong in assuming that come Nov 2008 it will cost 3 grand to fill her up? If not more! If this is the case will this not kill this type of boat or at least reduce its costs post Nov 2008 quite a lot? Should I wait and this year buy a yacht instead and wait and see what happens to the motor boat market?
Your advice will be greatly appreciated as I have never bought a boat before and do not want to make a BIG mistake on my first one for sure.
Mark.
