I have a 19 foot bow rider, weight ~2500 lbs. How heavy should a mooring

be
for this boat?

Hi Mike: If you are using a mushroom anchor of at least 200 lb. and 50
feet of 7/8 chain you should be just fine for a permanent mooring. If you
are using concrete block system with the chain, I would suggest a block of
1000 to 1200 lb.
