Where to get a Mooring Mushroom near City Island, NY?

Post by triton274 »

Does any one have any recommendations on places to buy a new or used mooring mushroom near/or in City Island, NY? I am in need for my Triton for this spring. I am planning on getting a 300lb mushroom, what are all you Triton sailors out there using?

I'll check at my club. I think we have a used 300lb mushroom and they usually charge about 50 cents a pound. You would have to pick it up in Nyack.

That's a great deal. I paid over $600 to get my 400# mooring all set up last year. It cost me $200 for the mushroom and about $400 for the heavy/light chains, shackles, swivels etc.

Funny, I still have a 250# mooring with all tackle and the ball in the water on City Island. I used to keep my boat there and didn't feel like hauling it out and schlepping over to my new spot on the Hudson.
