A hydromassaging bathtub is formed by molding an outer shell having an outer finished surface with an acrylic component therein and a plurality of air jets forming through holes, and an inner reinforcing support shell having channels molded in at least some of the inner side walls thereof. The inner shell has floor supports molded in a bottom wall thereof. The outer shell is bonded in the inner shell with the channels sealingly bonded about the plurality of air jet forming through holes. The method comprises stacking the similar shells together for shipping to an assembling and distribution site and for storage whereby to provide several commercial advantages in the manufacture and distribution of the bathtubs.
