I won't go too far but to say, it will keep the ice on hot weekends better than any cooler I have ever had. I keep it in the shade, even in 90 degree weather and have ice for 48 hours if you are careful... As to the 470 dollar boxes. I could build exactly what Tim wants for about 100 bucks and three to four hours labor... If I were closer, I would stop by on a weekend and have at it... -- Team Rowdy Mouse, Banned from the Mall for life! |
