Please excuse this possibly naive question, but can the VX ONE be moored, or must it be dry sailed?

It is not recommended without serious bottom prep.  I do not leave my boat in saltwater for longer than 5 days.  There are clever water storage solutions like using a PWC lift or an inflatable dock.

Sorry if this is a duplicate, tried replying earlier, but it hasn't shown up. Thanks for the earlier reply.
This would be in fresh water, if that makes any difference. I realize that bottom paint would be needed, but would it also require some sort of seal coating under the paint?

Surprisingly fresh water critters can be more aggressive than those found it saltwater.  Brian has some thoughts on preventive measures for water storage.  Have you contacted him? bennettyachting@gmail.com
