[[Had been thinking of getting a good cooler for my fishing boat.]]
See my previous post- fantastic can and bottle coolers- keeps drinks cold for hours- even colder than fridge sodas
I fill my cooler with ice, then hopefully the various species of salt water fish I catch.
On a hot summer day you can ruin fish very quickly unless iced. I dont have a live well and many of the species die too quickly in live wells to keep them fresh.
I use a little cooler for beverages it does just fine.
