It’s not uncommon, but not as common as died diesel of various types. A marina in Orange Beach Alabama sold a died diesel called locomotive diesel that is apparently different in composition from agricultural diesel.
Sadly the tax advantages is absorbed by the vendor as they are located in the water.
Looking up locomotive diesel. It didn’t switch to ultra low sulfur for 5ish years after over the road diesel. I would bet it has a higher Cetane, probably some closer heavy fuel oil.
Is it common? I have never been a boat person.

Interesting, what color do they dye it.

It was dyed the same red and slightly cheaper than other marine diesel.
