Those very expensive coolers advertise the facts of how long they will hold ice in 90 degree heat. 6-9 days is the average (if you don't open the cooler often).
My question is...Why do you need a cooler that holds ice for 6-9 days if you are mainly using it for day trips?
I have a Coleman Marine Extreme 50 qt cooler that I keep onboard my boat. I need to have drinks available for my customers as it gets pretty warm out on the lake during the day.
It will keep ice for four days if I don't open it. I always pre-cool it by putting in jugs of frozen water the night before I load it up. Then put in my bottles of lemonade and water along with chunk ice I make in my chest freezer. This way, the drinks are crazy cold all day long for the customers and myself.
TK, sorry for segueing off of the main topic! If you need to yell at someone, yell at Jimmy cause he led me astray! (And we all know how sensitive I am to criticism....)
