Newbie just started looking for a spa...first showroom visit

[donl1150]

Just recently began looking for our first spa.  Living in central Minnesota, this winter has gotten just too long!  Only been to one local dealer so far....they carry Shoreline brand.  They had this model on the floor and it certainly seemed like a quality product.  The 91" x 91" model is $6500 while the 82" x 82" model is $6000.  Both prices include delivery, set-up, cover and chemicals.  Was curious if anybody has had experience with this model

or any thoughts about the price tag.....thanks.

Hi Don - Never heard of Shoreline Spas.  From what I could find on the internet they are made by a company in TN that makes several lines of spas including River Ridge Spas, Garden Leisure Spas, and Dynasty Spas.  If you go to Garden Leisure Spas website they look like the same spas as Shoreline - probably sold in a different region.

Hopefully others here will know something about these spas and speak up.  What I would recommend is shop around and wet test.  If you come by the Twin City area you have all the major players (Hot Spring, Marquis, Sundance, D1, Arctic, Bullfrog, and Jacuzzi) and probably more. 

I am tired of this MN winter as well.  I'm hearing some people referring it as S'winter - LOL!
