Yesterday we were out with both AO coolers purchased above. They worked fantastic under the bench and fit perfectly giving us the room back in the Port Storage area. Plus they didn't slide around. Kept everything cold all day long.
 
Update on the AO coolers. I have them packed in the hatch of the SUV. The ice packs and ice bags we put in them yesterday morning are stil ok cold with ice. Negligeable melting. Left them in The hatch overnight as well. Pretty pleased so far and impressed.

Will see how they do in the hot florida heat and sun for the day.
 
We ended up grabbing an Engel HD30 and throw in 2-3 large Tundra Purples. Lasts all day (and often into the next). We’ve been considering buying a second HD30 as well.
