Thinking of putting a mooring buoy out for a 17 foot Double Eagle. Thinking of using a concrete block, but not sure how much weight I need. It's a very protected spot, occasional summer use only, muddy bottom in about 10-15' of water. This would be a DIY project (to limited cost), and am pondering the best technique to sink as heavy a block as possible.
At the moment I'm thinking of pouring the concrete on the beach just below high tide line, then at high tide float it into position using a couple of 45gal plastic drums. Not sure if there would be enough time for the concrete to set, and how big a concrete block I could float, and how to release it...
Anyone have any experience with this?
