One con would be the innitial cost of the mooring.
There are many typs of anchors from the helical screw as mentioned by Hollywood to cement blocks. This will depend on the type of bottom. Then of course the cost of chain or line from the anchor to what ever you will be using as a float. These are available commercially. then the Pendant.

Depending on the placement of the anchor by a diver and depth for the cost of chain. This can run into several thousand dollars for a proper set up.

Of corse you could always drop an old engine block and float a big chunk of styrofoam. depends on what is allowed.

If in salt water a permit from the Army Core of engineers may be required. As there are requirements and an environmental impact studys.
