Mine broke off long time ago. As long as you have it turned around facing the back of the boat then it won't come open. I have a 94 quart I use for my fish box in front and a 54 quart under my leaning post in back for drinks and both have no latches. No problems.

And when the hinges broke on the back I just cut some leather from my old work boots and instantly had new hinges. Enginuity at its best.

In all seriousness when u buy a high dollar ice chest make sure u are gonna use it.
I got my yeti summer of 2008. It has been used ALOT! And had been abused!! But I have not had to replace one part , still holds ice as long as it originally did & the outter shell still looks good. So I recommend that if you plan on using an ice chest regularly ( 2/3 days a week or more get a yeti) I have definitely gotten my 250$ out of my yeti Of all the stuff I bought in 2008 only a few things made it to still b around today Costa fathom shades, shimano citica 200d and my yeti. That's y I keep supporting and backing those brands. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I use my 70qt igloo for years. I think it was 49 bucks when I bought it. I've never lost fish. As much as I like those yeti and other high end ice chest they are just to heavy. I can see having one at the camp but trying to move those monsters is a job in itself.
There are different kits depending on how much of this you want to have around the garage/shed. http://assets.academy.com/mgen/08/10...jpg?is=500,500 |

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1398612034.851446.jpg Sorry, had to do it But the way I see it a 70qt igloo is to big for 1 person to lift Bc of the length; I personally (6'3" and long arms )have no issues but I assume most people do. So saying that the yeti is to heavy is kinda irrelevant Bc ur gonna use two people to lift an igloo amyway . And if a yeti ( other high dollar/" heavy" )that fits in a bayboat is to heavy for you to move around when it's empty then u may need to do some push-ups at night or something.

Purebay I can manhandle my 70 qt alone and full. I'm only 5'6". So maybe you need some push-ups big boy. After 4yrs as a 11B in our US army & 4 more in LA nat guard I'm sure I've done more than my share.
Not to say I couldn't move the yeti around but I don't see the point. Other than to say. I got a yeti. You want an extra 100 pounds to move around so you can say "my ice last for 8days but I only fish for 3"good for you. As far as a good camp ice chest for drinks and food I think they are good. But in my boat not for me. It's also economics. You will have that yeti stolen lost or otherwise before I go through 2 igloos. Again just my opinion. I don't like web bashing but 6' 3" with short arms are you a raptor or just weak? |
