I have a 750w psu and I want to watercool my system and have a second 1080ti.

My current specs:
Ryzen 7 1700x overclocked to 4ghz
16gb 3000mhz vengeance lpx
Aorus ax370 gaming k5
Evga Gtx 1080ti
Evga 750w psu

Will I have enough juice to watercool my machine aswell?

It all depends on the objective of the OP.

Some want a very top end competitive gamer.
Some want a well balanced gamer.
Others like "bling" and want led's and such.
Or, how about one upmanship?
dual gpu, water cooling, 16 thread processor for example.

If one has the budget, he/she can build whatever they want.

To answer the original question...
Changing from air cooling to water cooling places no different load on the PSU.
750w may or may not work well, but I see no harm in trying. The OP clearly has the funds to do whatever he wants.

How about adding a liquid cooled psu?

Exactly what model of EVGA GTX1080ti do you have.
Some with waterblocks require two 8 pin connectors; that will possibly produce a peak of 375w each by themselves.

I might ask , if this is to be a "balls to the wall" gaming build, why are you not using a binned i7-8700K for the processor?

That is 300w each.
Since you have the parts, you could try it and see.

Dual cards puts lots of pressure on your case cooling, so you might take the case covers off while you are trying it out.
Some EVGA power supplies are better than others and will have some reserve.
What is your model?
