This Igloo Extreme 7 35 qt was about $19 when I bought it, I can't remember when. It keeps ice longer than my 50 qt high dollar cooler.
At walmart the lady had 3 cases of worms she was putting in the display cooler. I asked what she would do with the cases, throw they away. A double wall cardboard box with a styrofoam cooler inside with thick walls. The inside of it was scalloped to hold the containers and a gallon antifreeze jug in the center. I can freeze the jug, place it in the cooler and pack it with frozen stuff and close it. It will keep things frozen for 3 days sitting on the ground at my camper.
At an auction they sold 50 qt styrofoam coolers with 2 1/2" walls in a double wall cardboard box. People were throwing away the cardboard, I told them not to. First night they sold for $12, the last night they sold for $3. They sold for over a month, the seller had 250 of them.

Just posted. Donnie's Auction in Marion, AR will be open at 6:30 pm tonight with a $750 jackpot

Which 1 do you have ? If you've had it as long as I've had some of mine , it's likely the new one isn't as good .

Hard to find a good cooler that will hold ice over a day or 2. Could get an inverter to plug into the cig lighter for your truck and a mini fridge , but don't leave it plugged in while on the water.

I have the Igloo or Coleman (pretty sure it’s an Igloo) with the silver bottom and white top. It’s the xtreme 5 or 7 or Whatever they called em back then. I’ve had this cooler so long it’s become one of those things that you See but really don’t Look at. Lol

I saw the extreme mixed in with all the high dollar coolers in a YouTube review. It performed well, but was expensive for a "old school " style . I may take a second look at it though.

I think I remember now why Coleman Xtreme didn't make it into the boat . No shelf !! Price is reasonable though . I love a shelf in a cooler . Correct me if I'm wrong on this ?
