The heavy duty ones that will hold ice good

Need to get one that i can put a cushsion on togo in front of my console and double as a fish box and a seat. Some of the ones I've looked at are stupid $ expensive.

what are the choices?

I think about 150 quart size

I seen some at Academy sports on Davis drive, i did not look at prices though. I have had better luck with the cheapies anyway. I have a little cheesy Coleman cooler I got for $18 that I used as a fish box well out performed the $65 cooler I had. so don't discount the cheapos.

I've always just owned the marine Igloo coolers. The white ones. I think I paid $50 or so when they went on sale at Academy for my 120 qt.

Save your money up and get an Icy-Tec or whatever name they go by now. I've had one for 4 years now. Best thing I ever got for a cooler. Rough as we are on coolers, it's worth it.

Just bought a new 150qrt Gott form Sam's, 49.99

the cheapy ones serve their purpose but bacause of the price they are pretty much disposable. I've got several of the igloo 150's 5 day coolers and they will normally last me about 2 yrs each. first yr I use them for food and drinks, second year when they don't cool as well and start looking beat up, I use them for fish/bait. Once you start to get fish smell in the plastic, you'll never get it completely out.

on the other hand, I've got an Icey-Tek 270 alsoand you just can't compare the two. It's about 3 yrs old and the construction like Wade said is great. The plastic in them is food grade and will not hold fish smell when you clean it out and want to put food and drinks in it again.

I've got an Igloo marine series, I think 128 qt, maybe bigger, that needs new latches ($7-8). It's in decent shape otherwise for use as a fish box. I'll sell it for $75. Also I was just looking at the Igloo site and they sell seat cushion kits for those coolers for like $60.

I'm going to see what Outcast has at the sale.......

I think they have the Icytek type but like Wade said it's under a new brand name..........I read on here you can get the 150 igloo at Sam's Club for $50.00

I want one of the heavy duty ones that the hinges andlatches don't break after being used a few times

Check out the MOELLER Ice station Zebra...if they still make them...very durable & a littlecheaper than icey tek...I've got a 270qt &I think I will be buried in it& and it will double as a lifeboat for 2-3 in a pinch-lol...

on our boat, the in-deck fish boxes aren't very well insulated, so we keep 2 of the icey-tek 270 qt. on the boat at all times, one on the bow, and one in the cockpit. last time we had just drinks and stuff in one, there was still plenty of ice after a week of 80 plus degree summer days. you can fit a 170 class yellowfin in there no problem
