Another thing to note is that it comes up to a beach, so maybe we could drive it right up and store it on a dock situation on the sand? Not sure if that helps at all.
Another thing on jet skis is the maintenance required on them, anything worse than my boat already? Are they a huge hassle? |
Jet ski lifts are usually free standing and not "attached to the dock". As someone else said, when the water level changes you may need to move the lift or adjust the legs to maintain the right height.
My lifts have usually been placed next to the dock to make it easier to climb on and off.
The last few jet skis I have had have been Yamahas. They seem pretty bullet proof to me. Other than annual oil changes they never need anything.
I have noticed in Florida most of the rental companies have Yamaha jet skis. There must be a reason, I assume dependability.
