Very true but I don't want to put too much money into this if it turns out to be a flop which is why I am taking the cheaper route and moving it with a trailer instead of hiring a company. I absolutely agree that there's probably a bigger underlying issue than a leaking pipe but my intentions are to try to fix it for cheap and if it works out then great if not I can easily part it and scrap the rest into pieces; at least I got some knowledge out of the experience. One of the big reasons why I want to move it myself is because the tub is located really close to my house. Somewhere around the ballpark of ~4 miles just in the next town over. I would only have to go over 1, maybe 2 overpasses.

Found someone giving away a 7x7 hot tub with a small leaking pipe. Figure I have nothing to loose in trying to fix it so I want to pick it up in a uhaul trailer. Only problem is unless I get one of those specialized spa trailers, there isn't a big enough trailer that can move the hot tub horizontally. The only chance I have of moving this is to move it while it's on it's side. I found out the 4x7 uhaul trailer (Inside dimensions: 7'8" x 3'4") is just enough room to fit this hot tub plus it has higher walls to help keep the tub secure. Is this a good idea or should I go with a larger 5x8 utility trailer but have to deal with the shorter walls and having to pack stuff on each side of the tub to keep it in the middle (a long with ratchet straps obviously)
