What's new for the 05 Marquis line?

Any cool changes coming from Marquis in 05?  I heard good things about the new exterior.  Anything else?

Gary;

That is awfully vague...

If you follow many of Gary's posts you will see that this was a speach for him!

I will say that you have to walk up and touch the new cabinet to know it's not wood and you can paint it any color you choose or do nothing with it, the waterfalls are simple, smart and unobtrusive. The remotes are both a wireless that goes in the house and a floating remote that resembles the function pad on an iPod but nests in it's own molded pocket in the shell. There are also new shell designs and a new look for the waterline accents.

Very sweet.  Is the Euphoria shell going to change? When will they start shipping to the public?

what I like best for 05 is the new control panel on the 2 pump spas...it has a clock in it which will allow you to set exact filter times it has very simple reminders that let you know when you need to change the water,clean the filter replace the mineral cartridge,bromine cartridge....the new cabinets are very nice and the coastal (Grey) is very rich looking....As Stuart mentioned the water feature is simple but nice....I am not a fan of water features on any spa myself so for me it does not do much....Maybe someone can share with me what I am missing as no matter who makes the spa the water feature can only function with the cover off so in the end do any of them really matter much.....I recommend some sort of full time water feature that is non spa related for those who feel it really is important to them....

Anyone know if an '04 can upgrade to the new control panel or remote?

Yes, you simply remove your cover, slide your old control out (still attached to the 04 model spa) and slide the new control back in (attached to a new 05 model spa), reposition the cover and WHAM, upgrade complete!

(sorry, couldn’t help myself …..I’ll check into it for you)

Speech time: It will not work due the topside panel being different, it is larger which means a larger hole in the lip of the spa for it. So you would have to change the equipment pack, topside panel and enlarge the opening on the lip of the spa. I could do it for a cost $1000 and 30 minutes time.

Will Stuart ever get anything right?

Yer on stuart... I'll give you the $1000 as soon as you finish repositioning the cover.

He did not say it had to work, he just wants to cover on.
