WHEN, oh my god WHEN, are premium boat manufacturers going to give the buyer a real cooler? I spend $130k on a boat, and you're including a POS Walmart Igloo? How a about a Yeti or Pelican to maintain the premium them here? Just because the igloo is all white, doesn't mean it's "premium".
Devils advocate here...but would a fridge even have ample time to really "cool" on say a day trip in 100* weather inside an unconditioned compartment
In this case yes.Why not a refrigerator. Plenty of room to put a very nice fridge in there.
In this case yes.
In general better coolers should be offered across the board. Buddys bought a $125k wake boat and got a POS igloo with it. Just seems like an obvious place to NOT pinch pennys.
*edit*
Also something I just noticed that I can't unsee......the pattern on the flooring is about 1in off to the right from being centered. That would drive me bat crap crazy over time.
I get that. Perhaps my experience with Igloo, and my somewhat of a hording problem with coolers gets me here.I sort of agree on the cooler thing. My buddy bought a $125k Supra also and it came with a cheap white igloo. I have a Yeti 50 I used to bring on the boat from time to time. While its very nice the thing is heavy as hell loaded down. It also doesn't hold as much stuff as comparable sized cheaper coolers because it's so thick. I would be ok with a cheap cooler since most of the time you only it need it for a day outing, and not worried about keeping ice for days.
It won't keep drinks and ice for a full day on the water.
What is clear is that people have cooler preferences, so I can see why Yamaha lets buyers choose and buy their own religious brand.
Glad I'm not the only one with a "cooler problem"......I think I'm up to like 10 now. I need to count.
That's the secondary answer IMO. Just don't give me a cooler at all. I'll find one that fits where I need it to fit, and holds the things I need.
We started with her pink Igloo under the starboard rear seat. Then moved to a soft sided coleman in the ski locker. I think this season we're gonna get one of the then coleman coolers for under the port seat. We've been working hard on where to store things to keep from having to ask people to move to get to them. This boat has so much storage compared to our last we actually have options now.
