I got off the fence today and put a deposit on a Beachcomber 720 today (looking forward to that first plunge). I just wanted to say thanks to those who answered my post. Their advice was right on the mark and I feel pretty confident we made a good choice. In the end deciding between two good tubs came down to the dealer I thought showed the most integrity and would do the best job (I would have liked to test an Artesian though - but no dealers around here). I'm glad I stumbled on this site and for sure I'll continue to check it out. I've already told two hot tubbers about it, so keep the good stuff coming.
