Historically, we are bringing one of those gigantic 120something quart white "fishing style" igloo coolers. It's not the best, but it's big AF. The big AF part is actually becoming quite a negative for us.
1) It's too big in the boat. Takes up too much space and we find it in the way a lot.
2) Takes a LOT of ice to keep stuff cool enough. There's usually only 4-5 fish in the box at the end of the day, so we are finding it silly that we got such a large box.
3) It's hard to get in and out of the boat at the beginning/end of the day.
My question is... what are you running? We've actually been thinking about getting a more square shaped box for the bow of the boat rather than having a box in the back of the boat at all. We're in a 19.5' North River style boat/closed sled.
I'm open to suggestions of whats working for you guys.
Thanks!
