Looking at getting a cooler before the Summer hits and wanted to know anyone's thoughts on a Yeti or Pelican. Likes and dislikes. Also if there is another brand you would consider.

Pelican: http://www.pelicancases.com/progear-coolers-s/138.htm

Yeti: http://yeticoolers.com/coolers/shop-by-activity/fishing-marine-coolers/

Would probably get a 45QT in Teal (pelican) to match the boat :)

I have 3 Yeti's and nothing but good things to say about them. I won one several years ago at a hunting raffle and ended up with two more to cover different size color needs. 45 is a great size.
I have a Roadie, a 65, and a 120. All serve a purpose and all though all three are beat up looking they work great and have been bulletproof up to this point.

I have a yeti from 50 years ago. Cost me a mortgage payment. It weighs 200lbs. twice the size it needs to be. Keeps ice wildly longer, if you go in it once a day. Works great at the hunting camp for storing ice/killed game. In reality. As a beer cooler that you go into every :20, it won't stay colder any longer than a Coleman that doesnt exceed my USCG weight capacity. Pelican is every bit of good, better colors, better latches, few coins less. But unfortunately it's way cooler to have a yeti hat and yeti sticker on your truck. Also consider Engel. I have a 300 qt Engel that is worthy of praise.

I probably need to invest in a good cooler.

They don't magically make ice or anything but durability sold me. I'm hard on equipment.

The Yeti and other outdoor brand stickers always make me laugh. It's like adverstising... To a thief.... Nobody else cares you have a fancy cooler but the guy with sticky fingers.

(Disclaimer: My tahoe has a yeti sticker on it but it is in a field or a barn 93.7% of it's life.)

They seem like a heavy pain in the rear to me, but as dad of the house I get to carry everything.

Now that I have my 85 SN 2001 I have been thinking of trying one of these Kelty folding coolers to have a few cup holder options on the boat.

Kelty cooler

I have been kind of spoiled. My IO has a built in cooler and lots of cup holders.

After much looking into things, I find that both are going to be equally effective. I like the drain system on the Pelican, as well as the lifetime warranty (90 days for the seal) . Not really sure I'm a 100% sold on the latches of either, I lean towards the Pelican, just because the GF can use them. I've heard that Yeti's can be a pain some times, but also worry about the Pelican ones breaking. I like the design of the Yeti a bit better. Going to hopefully look at them this weekend and make a decision. 45Qt or 65QT is the question, the 65QT I think is going to be a bit to lug around though.

My Dad has a 45 we got him for christmas and the size is good for an afternoon or 1-2 road trip. Plus its manageable for him by himself.

My 65 is heavy loaded. My wife can't carry it loaded down.

Bwahahaahaha.

I'm glad I married a tall woman so our kids can be huge but I'm also very glad I didn't marry a linebacker. (I'm out chick-d for sure).
