Hey guys and gals!
Any of you have any advice or pointers for making your own mooring? im about 30 or 40 feet from shore where i want to put it, its a fairly protected bay at our cabin on a lake and want to put down enough weight to hold about a 20 foot fiberglass ski boat, nothing too crazy, ive seen the publications online as far as weight and what not, but looking for some fellow iboat'r opinions, what you've done and whats worked best, My initial thought is to build a concrete form full of rebar to be able to hook some heavy chain on and sink her, but not really sure whats overkill or not and i don't have a sense on how much extra chain there should be between the actual anchor and the top float, seems like there should be a bunch extra, but don't really know
anyone have any thoughts?
thanks everyone!
