Really good price on the V94. I’m more than that without Microsilk. It’s been 8 years since I’ve sold Coast and 2 years since I left the dealer that I was with at the time. We didn’t have a ton of Coast Spas in the field but the ones we sold were holding up well. Without question Marquis will have better company support. Coast was more disorganized in my opinion and I’m just not a fan of dealing with Canadian company’s when it comes to order parts.From a dealer standpoint, I’d choose Marquis because of the expected reliability, support, and the fact that they have the best Microsilk implementation in the industry. The only way I would choose a less reputable brand over a more reputable brand is if the wet test heavily favored the less reputable brand and the dealer was exceptional.
The MicroSilk option is a $2K+ option, that V94 should be closer to $12K+. I would jump on that deal. 2018 and 2019 models are identical. The reality with MicroSilk is that it needs to be integrated in the hot tub well. Most companies just slap it on the tub and don’t really implement it properly, that’s probably why Coastisnt recommending it on their larger tub, because they can’t get it to work right. Marquis sells more MicroSilk than all of the other companies that offer MicroSilk combined, I think there are 5-6 others that offer it.
