Another question: how do people store their Jet Skis? Both wintertime and what your dock looks like in season. We are unsure if we want to get those in the future, and I'm wondering how easy it would be to get a jet ski lift/dock added onto a current dock.
What is the draft and type of your current (or intended) boat? If you have 6 feet of water, unless you have a really large, deep vessel you should be fine no matter what. At my last place we had 42" at the end of the dock at full lake. I never had a problem with my pontoons or Eastern. My surf boat could be a bit problematic as the levels dropped because of the v-drive setup and 28" draft.
