Lounger/no lounger?

Check out the big guys- Marquis, Hot Spring, Dimension One, etc. for starters.  Sounds like you're willing to do your homework.

Try out the Hot Spring Prodigy or Tiger River Bengal for starters.  Nice mid-sized tubs around that range.

I doubt you will touch the J-365 for 7000.00 but the J-345 or J-335 might work,other than that check out the J-270 or J-280 for around 6 to 6500.00

HEY JIM...I CHECKED THOSE JACUZZI TUBS OUT AND THEY WERE VERY NICE. I THINK THAT 365 WAS AROUND 8900 BUCKS...THE GAL READ IT RIGHT OUT OF THE BOOK..NO DEALING. NO DEALS...BASICALLY THIS IS THE PRICE LIKE IT OR LEAVE IT...KINDA GAVE ME A BAD TASTE BUT ITS COOL. I HAVE THICK SKIN.
I CANT BELIEVE THEY DONT BLOW THEM OUT GIVEN THE FACT THAT THEY ARE BUILT IN CHINO WHICH IS PRACTICALLY BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE.?????

remove the all caps please.

Good dealers do not give out bottom line prices on the phone.  I'll bet if you go into Jacuzzi showroom you will find better prices.

Why not?

Because then they might not come in.

I always give out the price and most of the time they don't come in, but most spa customers are ugly anyways and I don't really want to look at them to start with.  I'm not a good dealer, though.  Actually, I'm just a salesman with mostly ugly customers.

I'd go see Mendocino and take him up on his standing offer of free lunch and a makeover if I were you, Mr. Steelman.

Yes please come by as you can see by some of Terms pictures we have done wonders for him, I am particularly proud of the Hat with the feather as I think it softens his appearance and makes him more approachable by old people as well as small children..... ;D

In Canada eh

Steelman

   In all seriousness, go see Mendo

He has been nothing but honest and helpful on this forum and he sells Marquis tubs

Good luck with your search
