Rubbermaid 150 quart marine coolers
 

I picked up one of these at Sam's Club last night for $57 and some change. I thought it was a really good deal. If you need one, get them now because they will probably go fast once spring hits.

The WAL-MART by me has IGLOO MARINE 120 quart coolers for $56+tax.

Hmmm, that would probably have been a better bet. That 150 quart is kind of huge!

nipper, does it have a split lid? like the old gotts had

I have the Walmart one and it has a split top, But I bought another with wheels on it from there that does not have the split top. Tuff hauling 200 pounds of fish by yourself, the wheels work great!!

I use it for the fluke, The Bass go in floor boxes with ice and I use totes at the fish house, and transfer to them into, the guys come out with fork lift to bring them in for you.

I use a smaller cooler for food and drink, big ones for fish only.

do any of ya'll have the coolers with cushions on top, how do they hold up? I'm thinking of using a couple on my V in place of seats, just wondering if they will hold up, or which brands are better than the others

The rubbermaid I bought does not have the split lid. I had an old rubbermaid which did, and I liked that a lot better.

I had one before they were pretty good. I just hand them a floating seat PFD and let them sit on that now.

Hey Nipper, I bought the same cooler at Sams club 2 years ago for about the same price. It holds up ok but ice dosent seem to last very long in it. You just have to pack it FULL of ice before you begin your trip. I wash out and freeze gallon milk jugs and keep in the deep freezer, they last a long time and help to fill up that big *** cooler. Saves a little on buying all that crushed ice too.

You southern boys are behind in the times!! I have a comercial Ice Machine in the basement! :love:

MJ, why would you need one of those? Can't you just walk outside and scoop up all the ice you need?:you:

Spare will not be posting for a week!! He is being punished:bat:

Well he does have a good point there, Nanook!!...:you:

Everyone is picking on me!!

I just snow 6" of snow after shoveling 2 , so i guess you have a point

I bought one several years ago. It was and still is a nice cushion but after about 2 - 3 years the little straps with the snaps on them tore out of the cushion. I took it to an upholstery shop and they wanted an arm and a leg to sew in 4 new straps. I said for that price I can buy a new cushion! I still use it though on occasion. I thought about going with velcro but I don't know how well that would work out.

?????????????
 

Whats a basement????

Thats a celler for you southern boys

MJ, he still won't know what you are talking about, you have to live some what above sea level in order to have a basement or celler.:you: Seriously, there are no houses in this area with basements, the water table is too high, you have to get inland quite a ways before you see any houses with basements

MJ - How are you going to get that ICE up from the basement into the boat???? I think you need to move that ice machine to my house and put it in the garage when I get setup.

LOL Its going in the new work shop when I finish building it! Right near the door for easy to get to.
Maybe i will put it in the attic with a chute to a hopper right over the boat, just pull a cord and fill boat and go!:love:

He's just bragging about something he hasn't even used yet. :nut:

Up here you have to dig so deep to to get below the frost line for the footings that it only takes a few more scoops of dirt a a little bit of extra cement to have a basement.

Hey MJ, we don't have basements or cellars here, when they dig a hole at your house here in florida, they call it a swimming pool!



When I was in bithlo we called that a sink hole ... ya'll crackers gota new name for that now??????

you poor guys don't know what your missing!!

I always wanted a basement.....never seen one except in movies. :head:
