Can anyone tell me what an average or good price for a bullfrog R7 should be?

I'm sure a bullfrog dealer or owner will chime in but I'm pretty sure I've seen on here people paying in the mid 7000's for them

Depends on how you option it.  $8.5-10?  $7's would be an R6 for the most part

I bought mine in September.

R7 with Circ Pump and Ozone, cover, startup chemicals, delivery, 8.75% sales tax - $8200 (cash so no credit card fees for them)

Bullfrog was running a $500 rebate deal, so final net cost of $7700, though I have yet to receive the rebate.  Dealer is supposed to be calling BF tomorrow to find out what's up with that as it should have arrived by now.

I bought my own cover lifter and steps which many dealers "include".  A decent lift is $200-300, "spa steps" can be another $100 or so.  So factor that in if you're looking at a complete package.

Now I wonder why we waited so long to replace out old tub.... the Bullfrog is so much more than it ever was. We're happy with it.  If I had anything to change, i would have gotten one of the sandstone shell finishes.  The sapphire blue looks awesome when it's wiped down and clean.  But waterspots are non-stop.  Definitely higher maintenance than the textured finishes if you want to keep it shiny.

My favorite jetpack is the Gyrosage

Racenut got a great deal.  I wouldn't expect to see it that low.  Most people are in the $9k + range with delivery, cover, steps, ozone, lifter, etc.

Thanks all, we purchased for $8800 and with a rebate we will be at $8300.  We are very excited and now need to figure out if we want to use concrete or pavers on sand or crushed granite.  We are going to shop around for an electrician also anyone know of any fair priced electricians in San Antonio Texas?

Congrats!  I'd ask the dealer for some electrician recommendations.  The good news is, all of them will come to your house and give you a bid.  Choose the one that meets your budget and are comfortable with!

Congrats on the new tub... what jetpacks did you decide on?


As for base.. my choice would be concrete, it's not going to move or shift and it's cleaner.
