Nice to hear you did some detective work!  Better to read what you went through instead of, "I got scammed.  Now what?"   ;D    Enjoy you new Envoy!!

I need to quit looking and go buy.  Saturday I am going to look at the Marquis Epic.  A friend recommended I look at that before committing to the Envoy so I am..  Any thoughts on the Epic compared to the Envoy??

Anyone interested in the scam I mentioned above, check it out on Ebay.......SHE'S BACK!!!!!!!! and the price has been lowered.  Type in "caldera hot tub" and it should take you to the post.

I am curious as to what you thought about the Epic that you wet tested last weekend?  I have an Epic and when we were looking we had considered the Envoy also. Just wondering if the wet test confirmed your choice or not.

I liked the Epic, did not like the dealer and was 50 miles from my residence.  I  have not tested the Envoy.  The HS dealer close to my home has no Envoy in stock.  Will be another 3 weeks or so.  He also sells Caldera so would like to wet test the Niagra and Geneva.  To be honest, I am all over the board.  The more I look the more confused I get.  Based on the locations of dealers and my schedule, almost impossible to wet test the ones I am interested in on the same day like a lot of folks on here suggest.   I hope this is over in 3 or 4 weeks.  I will post as soon as I wet test.  Without wet testing, HS is my first choice but that is based on posts here and looking at the HS that was on the floor.  Really like the quality.

A good spa will last you a dozen+ years. I know it can be frustrating to wet test and gather info rather than just go in and buy but a few weeks is nothing for something you'll have a long time so hang in there, you're doing fine.

According to the seller, the spa's serial number is;

NIB 3J3 116

That makes it a 2008
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Doc,
You could be correct.  I called Watkins direct and they stated the "J" in the serial number indicated it was a 2007.  Even so, I wonder what else she is not being truthful about.  She first said it was a 2009.  She told me she bought it from the dealer 2 months ago and the dealer had been out of business for a year.  She suddenly then remembers that she may have bought it in Dec. 2008..........makes me wonder enough not to take a chance.  I live 400 miles from the tub but if someone lived close it would be worth taking a look at.

Actually a 2007.  J=2007 K=2008 L=2009 M=2010
