i would like to add or amend to my previous post that IF I was using a cooler for rugged commercial use or in a boat where it would be used often as a seat or casting platform then I may want to rethink what brand/quality cooler I bought and for how much $. but as far as just keeping stuff cold and fresh, I do think if one's pocketbook is thin then a few common sense enhancements can go a long way to extending your ice time in even the hottest conditions.
