Cooler Placement for 2015 & 2016 Boats????

[Benny Sibbitt]

Where are you guys storing your coolers?
Are you guys using the small cooler that came with your boat?
ideas, thoughts, brands?

The problem is the hinged seats causes a loss of 2 or 3 inches and makes it harder to store a larger cooler.
But I love the hinged seats!
Ski Locker? Ha!

I went with a soft cooler. Lighter, easier to carry and is maluable so you can squash it into different locations. Sometimes we bring two. Besides, If I'm going to drink more than I can fit on the boat, I will stay home in the hot tub where it's safe.

We have a blue rolling cooler that I am just able to stuff into that underseat spot. It has a hinged lid that sometimes comes off when opening it in that spot, but it is really easy to pop back on so no issue for us. I like that spot for a cooler....so we are going with it. I couldn't get the one that came with the boat in and out of there without turning it on its side! It is an Igloo 38QT WHLCL BLUE. Here are photos:

Another thing we do to save space in the cooler is to freeze bottled water rather than buying baged ice. That provides cooling for drinks and a source of fresh water for drinking as they thaw out.
