From CaptT820: Do we need a permit for the anchor point, if it is a natural object (boulder) and does not require concrete to be poured or placed?"
Interesting question. I suspect the answer is another question: Is the boulder fully yours, i.e. above the high water mark, or is it partially in the water?

What's the cost analysis?
You have to buy a new dock, and (pay?) to dispose of the old one.
A crank up is considered taxable (probably not much. Does it affect the total value of the property?)
Permit efforts and fees?
Will you have to barge the new dock to your site?

Temporary seasonal dock is usually not taxed and you already own it.

There are lots of folks who will install and remove your dock seasonally. Probably cheaper than you think. Always nice to have an ongoing relationship with somebody to do various projects that require a professional or special equipment/tools. (Insert plug for Island Support Services here. 293-HELP).
