Hey everyone I'm looking for a long and fairly deep bath tub, maybe one with jets but don't really care. I am having a lot of trouble finding a big bathtub, looking at 72 inch long ones. Even online they're hard to find. Anyone have any suggestions? it would really be a big help! Thank you all

Why would you need a bathtub that is that long? Even if you are 7' tall if you sit in a tub that is 6' feet long all you are going to do is slide around because your feet won't reach the other end.

Here's a double hot tub that's 73" long. I googled "hot tubs". No reason you couldn't find something with a lot of research that was intended as a hot tub and install it in your bathroom. You would need the help of a good tile contractor but they do similar things when they install jetted tubs.

This is the exact tub I have used in several builds-

Don't worry about the SRP- you can find them for a lot less!

Do those giant tubs need a tankless water system to support them?

The problem with this tub is if it is primarily used by one person, you have to use twice as much water to fill it each time to get to the same water level - a lot of unused tub volume.

If you live in Dallas, the one I just posted above is listed on Craigslist for $450....sounds like a steal

What do you suggest? The regular size bath tubs are just too small for my taste in lenth and depth, is a 60 inch bath tub bigger than a normal bath tub? I just want a longer and deeper bath tub, I'm 6 ft tall and not fat
