All of the "good" coolers are heavy as hell. I got a 16 ft boat with a 25, any extra weight is noticed. Buy a 50-70$ cooler every couple of years. You got a 300$ cooler that you gotta use twice as much ice (pre chill) and then cant even pull it out the boat loaded. Buy an extra 1$ or 2 worth of ice and never look back..Just like fancy baits catch the fisherman not the fish.

Yeti's are rediculously heavy. I just use mine for hunting. I use the fish box in my boat and a 20-30 qt igloo for drinks.

Igloo with the thick lid is just as good and a quarter of the price. Who has time to purchase special ice and or chill drinks and cooler. Ice chest Dont catch fish. Spend the extra money towards a new pistol.

I got my 50qt yeti for $50 couldn't pass it up. I agree ice is cheap but the quality of the build is what I like. Don't have to worry bout hinges breaking warping. When u open it and shut it it creates a vacuum and you have to let the pressure out of the drain hole to get the lid open. Last year I had a get together at my house. Filled it up with the machine Ice you get from roadside machines. Used it for drinking ice throughout the day. Had about 3/4 of chest of Ice left. This was on a Sunday and I used the remaining ice the next Saturday to go fishing. This was in June outside under my carport.

I make my own hinges. Take a piece of 2" wide vinyl strap like the truckers use to tie down loads. Cut it about 3" long with an old heated up butter knife so that the ends don't come unraveled, screw it in place of the plastic hinges. Been doing that for 3 or 4 years and my hinges are still holding up.

Real Question
Should water leak out of the chest (when turned on its side) around the gasket when the chest is completely sealed?
I would think that gasket is supposed to prevent that... seems like it isnt air tight at all.
