Ian, you may be used to using these typs of quantities of fuel with your twin petrol engines but we are not with our frugal diesel engine.
Think you may find if you ask the average boat owner how much fuel they use in a two week cruise it will be between £1000 and £2000, remember that on here most hours are done at sea and that bears no comparison to 600 hours of inland cruising. You are running a 25' single engined lightweight boat that will be considerably more frugal than the average, my figures were aimed at a 30-40' twin engine boat being used at sea. Last years cruise took in some 350 miles for us using £1200 of fuel and claiming absolutely nothing back for domestic use. If I am using diesel will I claim 60/40? of course I will, still does not alter the fact that technically it is tax fraud.
