If you want ease of ownership and more Porsche than GMC experience, take a good look at Hot Spring, Caldera, and Sundance spas. You can still build them into a deck and get an in-ground look with all the benefits of fully self contained.
No current affiliation but I owned a spa dealership for 20 years:

Thank you, I'm think of doing something like this... except we have an indoor storage space (if I can ever clear it out) and maybe would install it in there... great for privacy and safety (don't have to worry about kids getting into it. do you think the weight would crack a ordinary slab floor?
