Anyone have recommendations for someone to bid out a new dock package?

We are needing lifts, some jet ski swings, straps, motors etc

Anyone have someone they enjoyed doing business with and could pass along?

Don't know where you are to suggest. You mention straps. You are better off having cradles built rather than using straps.
Straps don't support a hull well and they put pressure on the gunwales, rub rails etc. They also rot and deteriorate.
Just offering.

I was talking in generalities so people got the jist of what I was after. The dock and entire schematic has already been designed I just want to get some additional bids on all the lifting packages (especially the twister dock mount) as I don't want to just go off the builders only vendor he uses

I had my Sea Doo cradle decked off. I highly recommend doing it. It's nice for working on the ski and also great to put chairs on and sit in the water

we did the same… was always handy for working on and setting trickle charger once out of water and putting on cover when departing the lake house.

I had a lift built when I had one jet ski. Two different builders quoted it - both quoted a double lift. I told them I only had 1 ski and both - independently said - nobody only has one jet ski. By the end of that summer they were right in my case.

Your setup is sweet because it will be simple to add the bunks for your second one!

That's because everyone knows the purpose of having jetski is not to ride a jet ski. The purpose is to be seen riding the jet ski. The easiest way to guarantee this happens as much as possible is to have at least 2 of them. It is just the reality, plan long term for 2. Not that there's anything wrong with that/ Sinefeld.

This also explains why jet ski riders will come clear across a lake past hundreds of yards of open water to buzz by me 60 yards away while I am fishing, if nobody else is around.

I really like that deck lift idea for them. Being able to lower the whole platform to just under water level and pull it back out could be useful for many reasons as indicated by others. Very cool. The platform pictured could handle 2 space wise and still make them easy to work on if the bunkers were offset somewhat.
