Default Re: Party boat cooler

I bought a Coleman Xtreme Series 50QT Wheeled Cooler from Walmart a little over a month ago and it literally fell apart the 3rd time I used it. I was rolling it across a parking lot and the wheel broke right off. In the dumpster it went. It was very cheap so I wasn't mad but what a total POS. The extending handle on the cooler felt very flimsy and I'm sure would've been the next thing to break off. I'm going to save up a little and spend more money on a quality cooler soon. I've been researching the high end rollers and the 50ish QT size range seems to be what I want for sea bass, fluke, etc trips. I have a bigger cooler for the times I'd need it that's not wheeled so I wanted something smaller I can pull along with all my gear in one shot. I will be buying the Pelican 45QW Elite Wheeled Cooler soon and they also make an 80QT wheeled as well if you need more. The handle design looks rugged and the wheels look strong. It's supposed hold ice for 10 days too. It's priced right up there with the Rovr, Yeti etc but they have a 30% off coupon on their website email signup right now. https://www.pelican.com/us/en/produc...ler/elite/45qw For a lot less money you should check out the Coleman 55QT Rugged A/T Wheeled Cooler. It still looks like the handle could be an issue but the reviews are good and it's supposed to be built sturdier. They're only about $60 so it's a lot less $ to risk if it's junk or not. I haven't seen one in person. https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Rugge.../dp/B01F38ZUJO
