Just a word of caution about Mountain View. Years ago, I had a new Sea Ray 250 Sundancer that I slipped at MV the first year. I was on one of the concrete finger docks.
Everything was fine until the lake level was dropped in the fall. From day one, I had fenders tied onto the dock posts because the hull was a bit below the edge of the dock. Once the lake was drawn down,the fenders had no contact with the boat and it was then that I discovered long bolts and steel angles below the normal water line. Without the protection of the fenders, my new boat was chewed on by exposed metal for a week before I returned to the lake. The gelcoat repair was $300 and MV wouldn't help with the cost.
In fairness, this could occur at ANY marina on ANY dock. The lake is a different animal in the fall and changing lake conditions could morph a safe slip into a hostile one. Do all you can to assess how your boat will sit in the slip if the water drops or rises due to heavy rains. Dock lines may need adjustment and fenders may need to be repositioned several times a season in order to protect your vessel.
Again, this could occur in any slip in any marina, regardless if the docks are concrete or wood.
