Is this cool?
I’ve owned a lot of coolers in my lifetime but I’ve yet to own one of the roto molded coolers like Yeti, Engel, Brute and alike. I don’t need to keep ice for five days when I camp/fish it’s seldom more than three days.
But I do like the idea of having a tuff cooler that I can stand on and not worry about crushing the lid. I plan to have 45qt cooler on the boat and it will do dubbed duty as a cooler/casting platform. When not in use as a casting platform it will sit neatly in front of the console and the front deck will be open.
I’ve done a little research and I believe Yeti and Engel are among the top performers, Engel being about $30.00 cheaper than the Yeti. There are some so called independent test out there, this is one I found on You Tube. I don’t think it was all that scientific though. I would have drained the water from each cooler after the first, third, and fifth day and weigh the water from each one. The one with the least amount of water would have been the clear winner.
