Word on the street has it that Sundance / Jaccuzzi added a full production line recently actually shortening lead times in some situations. They are also producing their top end spas with an optional insulation downgrade, in turn for a shorter lead time.

Do you sell Sundance/Jacuzzi? Out of the big brands that I see they use the least amount of insulation already. Doesn’t sound like a good plan to me, then again I’m in the Northeast where you need max insulation
Sam:
What are you guys seeing for expected lead times on new orders? I heard maxx is 22 months! That can't be true is?
Hottubguy:
Caldera 47 weeks
Nordic January 2022
Marquis January-February 2022
Those are brands I carry

A lot of companies are out until 2022, I just ordered swim spas a couple weeks ago projected for December 2021...a lot of dealers aren't even getting product built at all and for those that haven't been ordering over the past 3-5 months they'll be lucky to see any product in 2021 at this point. It's not good for a lot of dealers at this point, really sucks
Red MC:
Back in July when I was shopping, most manufacturers were saying Nov/Dec. Just three months later, dates have moved out by a whole year. How much of that is due to demand vs. supply?
I would think that production ought to be back to pre-pandemic levels by now, if not higher as manufacturers look to increase their capacity to keep up with demand. Those hot tubs have to be going somewhere. If you guys aren't getting product, where's it going?
Or is this the lone industry that hasn't gotten back to work? Seems unlikely.
