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.

Everyone mentioned Yamaha when I was buying my new jet ski, but Sea-Doo just makes a better designed machine. Their front access panel and GTX hull are literal game-changers, and well-maintained machines are all exceptionally reliable.
I took the "I'm just going to pay a bit of money to make this as enjoyable as possible route," which meant I paid DaSilva's to service and store it every year and to keep it maintained. The yearly cost for that was under a grand, which I thought was short money to pick up in spring, use it all summer without issue, and return it in fall without having to think about anything else but having fun.
I do the same with my pontoon with Melvin Village Marina.
To me, getting into an activity means having the money to enjoy it without worrying about the money.
