Input needed on high grade cooler

[AT Grimaldi]

so this is the year I upgrade my cooler.

I'd like to start with one for drinks, sandwiches and crew treats. If that model, probably a 35 quart, works out, I'll get a coffin style like a 150 or larger.

Yeti?
Engel?
Icey Tek?

At this size money isn't the issue. Durability and serious increase in keeping items ice cold.

Any and all input appreciated.

I have had two Yeti's for two seasons and they keep ice better than any cooler that I have ever used. They are incrediable strong and will last a life time. Capt. eric

I have an icey tek that is 400 or so qts and it works extremely well,very durable and the lid makes a perfectly tight fit.I would purchase a smaller one but I am sure it would grow legs.

I bought an Icy Tek when I bought my boat and paid big bucks for it. I have since bought Coleman 150 qt coolers on sale at BJs for around $55 (usually $70) and they keep ice much longer than the IT ever did. No more pricey coolers for me.

Frigid Rigid is top of the line but I can buy 15 colemans for the price of one of those.

YETI...

what FullStrike said, except i got mine at costco.

don't get the $60 150 quart extreme marine coleman. A complete POS. Luckily through the power of Facebook, I was hooked up with a rep at Coleman and they are making the situation much better.

I have a YETI and it is the best investment ever. Holds ice for a week.
