Welcome to our forum.
It looks like the Bullfrog shell is not self-supporting and is supported by the frame structure, which I have read is not desirable. Is this a real issue given the lifetime warranty on the structure?
Its interesting to me that the A8 has only 10 gallons less capacity than the Pelican Bay; the Marquis is smaller by 140 gallons.

I'm fairly convinced that no manufacturers know how to measure how many gallons actually go into the hot tub. They seem all over the place.That being said. Go with how big it feels on the inside. A lot of gallons can still feel small.

IMO, i would save a little and leave out the hydraulic lift. It just adds to the possibility of more things going wrong. However, the circ pump is something that you would probably want. It is a debate item, but at that price, might as well add it! Best of luck with your purchase.
