While I agree with APS that we all pay for a view, we all also pay for the right to have access to the lake. with 50' of frontage you are allowed a dock, and I am sure that you can get a mooring permit.

With the idea of not wanting to have issues with neighbors you would want to make sure that the mooring was right in the middle.... being a lake and not tidal waters, you can get away with out much scope... the issue becomes the leader which at a minimum is going to be 3 feet....

Thus to "truely" stay in front of your property you limit your boat side....
However once again that is the reason for the permit to make sure you aren't going to unreasonably inconvenience your neighbor....

Additionally if you have a neighbor who complains because you have a few friends come over that tie up in raft formation from your dock and the end boat crosses over the implied boundary, then you could always keep a lead line to shore attached to your boat to limit its swing..... and keep crabby neighbors at bay....
