Cooler

Where is the best place in Charleston to buy a large Igloo, Rubbermaid, or Coleman marine cooler. Looking for 100-150 qt.

Walmart or west marine? Maybe one of the tackle shops would have one.

Sam’s Club usually has the Igloo 150qt for about $70.
At that price they’re disposable. The handles will give up if you fill it with ice and then try to manhandle it into your truck.
Rubbermaid makes a better one that has the handles “molded in” to the body of the chest. The handles are fixed,(not moveable) so they last longer, but the lid only has one flimsy latch in the center to hold it closed.

Thanks guys. I couldn’t find anything over 75qts. At Walmart. Didn’t even think about Sam’s.

Sams is about the cheapest you will find.

Costco has some big ones

You can order any of the 150qt coolers from WalMart and they will ship them to the store or to your house. They run from $69 for the Coleman to $79 for the Rubbermaid. I have a Coleman and I don’t even try to move it with ice in it. It stays on the pontoon and I use two 5 gal buckets put ice in it. I think Igloo makes a 150 qt with drink holders that have drain canals over to the edge to keep water drained out. If I had seen that first I would have bought the Igloo because the drink holders in the Coleman hold water.

I’d rather fish than eat.

A little bird told me that West Marine was going to have a 20% off sale on coolers starting May 8.
