Welcome to our forum.
Do you have any suggestions for other places I can look. I don't really want to sink more than 4 grand into this thing if I can help it. I've looked at some local dealerships and even their most basic models run in the 5K range.
Welcome to the forum! Before I read the rest of your replies, I will say many people go in thinking they are going to entertain several people every weekend when they get a new tub. The novelty wears off and you find some people are jealous, I would plan on possibly a smaller tub than what you are thinking, but still at least a 4 person tub as even with just two people its nice to have room. When we bought ours almost 8 years ago it was my wife, my daughter, and I. We bought a tub that seats 6 comfortably. We have had 6 people in it once, 4 people maybe 3 times and now that my daughter is grown and gone, its just my wife and I 99.9% of the time. We still use the tub 300 days a year, so the novelty hasn't worn off for us. A smaller tub might put you in a more reliable brand than a walmart tub.
