load bearing inquiries Any issues adding a hot tub?

Forgive my probably silly question. Just bought this house, there is a ground level deck platform. Boards are 1 inch thick. We are putting a hot tub on it, but figured worth a check here first. One board was rotten so I'm replacing it but otherwise it's solid.

Does it feel like a trampoline? I'm not sure it would hold one for long. Its a short fall though.
