Coleman X-treme cooler. used it last season and it really was great at keeping ice longer and the kicker was that it was priced low to begin with and there was a special on it for an extra $20 off to boot! I think I paid $29.99 for what was an over $60 cooler to begin with.
See how thick the walls are on the inside? Almost as thick as the high $$ ones and it works!
Not sure if OSJL still has them but might be worth a look as you go by the one in Meredith. Beware though...I saw some of the Coleman Xtreme coolers at other stores that had the THIN walls. Be sure to look inside for the thick walled ones.
I have one of those for home--in the shade of our porch, it works awesome. In the sun, not so much.

For the boat, though, I need something smaller.
