[QUOTE="Carbut, post: 456387, member: 24006"] I used to do the same (front live well is somewhat insulated) but it didn't keep cold long enough for full day trips in the sun. The fishbox on my Nautic Bay 1910 also doesn't keep cold enough for my requirements (sushi grade snapper needs to stay very cold from the get go), and I learned the hard way that, if it is completely full of snapper and kings, you may end up with "fish water" in your bilge. You will discover this when you walk into the garage and it smells like you forgot to empty a bait cooler. I now strap a Coleman Marine Xtreme 100 quart onto the bow for fish and to sit on, a 50 quart in front of the motor (blocks engine noise) for drinks, food, and extra ice, and a little Igloo for bait. The Xtremes keep cold for days and are sturdy enough to hold up as a seat. If three or four of us are going offshore, I also bring an Igloo STX 120 quart for added capacity. It keeps cold well, but the top is not very sturdy. [/QUOTE]
