Hi guys,
Ive done my online research and visited all my local reputable dealers.
In Kingston Ontario Canada, so dealing with Cdn dollars, and a cold winter climate, will be running tub all year.
Local dealers I trust (somewhat anyway) are limited to Artesian, Coast, and Beachcomber. I also have access to Master Spas and they say they sell and service lots in my area, but there is no showroom within 2 hours of me, so they must contract out warranty work.
Artesian
South Seas 748B with full foam pkg, lighting pkg, and S/S jet pkg $8299
Island Captiva 52 $10,699
I like all the upgrades that the Captiva gives, and it did seem to fit me better, but an extra $2400 seems like a lot.
Coast
Element or Apex in the same $ ballpark....havent researched them as much as Artesian
On my local dealer website it says they have the Freedom 40 on clearance for 10k. I assume thats a model from last year, as it's no longer on the Coast website. Is this a killer deal if they still have them?
Beachcomber
Seem very pricy in store. Could order from Costco in Canada as well. I called, and Beachcomber assured me the Costco tubs are built to the same quality as the store models, and are all full foam.
Nobody around here seems to wet test, so I am limited to dry testing what is on the small showroom floors here.
Anything jump out at you guys?
Thanks!
