Cooler Options

[pikeman8]

I am in bad need of a new cooler. I think ice keeps longer out of my cooler than in it:rolleyes: Would like a 120-150 qt or so for my boat and would like to mount on the swim platform to clear up some space on the deck. Any advice on what is a good cooler and mounting systems for the platform. Its a teak swim platform and I am not afraid of drilling holes in it, it has plenty already. The Yeti coolers have a real nice feature to strap it down but I cant justify 500+ for the cooler and 70 for the tie down. That's just ridiculous. Plus I looked at one at Cabelas and the thing was so heavy I couldn't imagine lifting it with fish and ice in it. I just need a decent cooler with a decent tie down system, im not looking to keep ice for days. What do you guys have that works?

you can get a colman extreme 150 qt cooler on ebay for 125.00 with free shipping. dont know about a hold down kit. but they will keep ice good.

Sams club has nice simple big while coolers for around 65 bucks.

Might be the same as those at Wal-mart, not sure.

I also have the corners for a tie down system that I am not using if you are interested.

PM me and I can get them to you somehow.

I have had my yeti for 5 years now .It is the best built cooler i have ever scene buy it and it will last a life time .You could drag the cooler behind a pickup and will not hurt it you get what you pay for broken latch lid and do not hold ice like a yeti nothing even comes close....
