EXPENSIVE 7 day coolers
Anyone have any experience with the Yeti mega buck coolers?
Thinking of a small one for my crab boat. $259

While this video is not a scientific test, it maybe of some help.
The pricey coolers are maybe just a touch better then the less expensive ones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-TE4RnqT0U

I don't own a Yetti but know a few guys that do and they love them. They are built like tanks and hold ice for days on end.

Re: EXPENSIVE 7 day coolers
I also have a yeti 250qt they are well worth the investment. just an idea for you i go salmon fishing evrey year and buy ice throw it in there and it actually does keep for seven days. only downside is u need two guys to move the big ones there heavy.

Re: EXPENSIVE 7 day coolers
I had a 270 qt. For years , held ice for several days & built extremely well !
Like mentioned the big ones with ice get heavy, the smaller ones should last very long time . |

Re: EXPENSIVE 7 day coolers
I was surprised to see the coleman extreme outperform the yeti for keeping the ice!! I usually take those cheaper coolers, and drill holes in the lids to see if they are insulated at all. Many are not!! I then take a can of urethane expanding urethane foam and fill the lids with foam, makes them hold ice even longer!!

Re: EXPENSIVE 7 day coolers
Thanks guys.
Knew they were built like tanks. Cost is I can buy 2 or 3 of the other lesser models for same price as one. Ice keeping was a big factor. I did notice my roller Igloo top was hollow too. That spray in foam starts to expand when it hits the air. I was affraid to use that as it'll solidify only an few inches from the drilled hole. Then I have to drill lots of holes.
