Same subject, different issue: My wife, kids, friends think I'm nuts BUT, I have this thing about white coolers on a boat. It HAS TO BE WHITE. If someone shows up with a colored cooler and a day on my boat, I empty it into one of my white coolers. I know, WTH?

All my coolers are white Igloo. They keep ice perfectly for just as long as I need them to. I don't go for days at a time excursions

X2 Marine coolers HAVE to be white!! It's the law. The US Coast Guard can fine you and confiscate any cooler not white. The ONLY exception is Stainless Steel Corona Beer Coolers... (they wink and turn their backs on them).
I have two Igloo and one Thermos coolers for the boat. All white and all keep my ice nice and hard all day long..

Consider this too...

When using the cooler as a fish cooler, the benefit of a Yeti (keeps ice longer) is a moot point. As fish are added to the cooler, the body temperature of the fish melts the ice. We use the standard everyday white marine coolers and they perform just fine.

Another point to consider is the weight of the Yeti coolers. They weigh a ton when empty. Add ice and fish and you can hardly move them.

But, I do love my Yeti Tumblers!!
