I think that is going to depend on where you have the mooring. My family had a mooring for many years in Scituate, Mass. and my Dad kept the V20 on it. He also decided it was too much hassle to row out to the mooring (which was impossible to do from our cottage at low tide) and decided to get a slip instead. For many years, there was a black market in moorings in Scituate harbor. In other words, those who had one and did not want to use it could sell it and get big bucks for it. Now, the harbor master is quite strict about enforcing the town's rule that if a mooring is not being used it reverts back to the town and goes to the next person on the waiting list with a boat which is suitable (length wise) for that particular mooring. Lots of folks still try to get around the regulations by renting their moorings they are not using.
