While I still have one useable space for one boat, it leaves us no other docking space for our secondary boat or any visitors who might stop by. (I currently have to park our secondary boat at my neighbors dock)
My questions are...
#1. Do you see any reason why a mooring permit would be denied for this reason??
#2. Having never applied for a mooring permit, where do I apply?
#3. Is 1000 lb concrete block enough weight for a 24' boat in a high wind area? (My raft never moved in 8 years!)
Thanks!

Dan you have a valid reason for the permit as you are on an island and need to maintain safe mooring of you boat to access your property. The application is available I believe through the MP website... and I am sure you can get one at their office in Belmont....
As for your current block being big enough... It depends on the 24' boat.... and also the scope of the chain you have down to the block..... I would personally think you would be fine....
