Coolbox needed

[Toerag]

Hopefully someone can help me here. I need a 'slushbox' on my boat. This is an insulated watertight box that I can put a whack of ice in to make a slush, then put my fish in to chill them and keep them fresh. The commercial guys over here use the Saeplast ones http://www.saeplast.com/servlet/Saeplast/g...=B4&segmentid=C. They are very good, but very expensive(£200!) and it would be nice to have something more 'coffin shaped' to fit my deckspace better. I have seen the Coleman and Igloo coolers and they seem pretty good and cheaper, however I wonder if anyone has knowledge of other makes?

A friend of mine has an Igloo MaxCold on his boat - not sure if its the 100, 120 or 150, probably the larger one, & it's very good - whilst he doesn't use the ice/water slurry method, 10 ice packs will keep it & contents really cool all day & longer. One really good design feature is that there's a smaller "trapdoor" in the lid, which means that you don't have to open the full lid every time you want to put something in/ take something out, certainly helps conserve the cold.

 

there's some on here:

If you know anyone going on holiday, he bought his in the States considerably cheaper than over here - just dumped a suitcase & brought his gear back in it!

 

Hope this helps

Hi Toerag,

 

Just bought the coleman 45L combo. Nice size box and a bargin at only £30. Has a drain as well which is useful.

No doubt Toerag will tell you it's way too small for him

Yes, wayyyyyy too small. I need to be able to fit 20lb+ cod in it without bending really.
