Default SwFL Saltwater Ski and Storage Question

Hi Guys,
new rider here.
Located in Fort Myers, Florida.
I'm close to buy my first bike. mainly Usage: Ocean. Looking for a Seadoo GTX or Yamaha FX.
Because we own a condo without Garage, i'm looking for a dry storage in a marina, that also puts the PWC in the water and take it out and store it...like they do it for boats.
Do marinas dry store pwc's like this?

Thanks guys!

Don't know about FL, but just about all of the marinas in my area that offer dry storage for boats also do skis......that is how I keep mine. They pull it out and drop it in with a fork lift, and it stays in an enclosed building. If you want to work on it they put it on a rack, and provide water, electricity, and even tools if you need them.

If you want a ski for the ocean, you may find the VX to be a little to wet and too bouncy in rough water. I don't know for sure about the GTX, but would expect it to be a much better rough water ride. Better Yamaha ocean skis would be a FX or SHO.
