I think there is less than 1" off spray foam on the outside of the cooler walls. There is more insulation in a $10 walmart cooler than is on this thing. The space under there is huge, it goes all the way to the bottom of the boat. I know it would help to add some insulation but don't want to make a mess under there. Also thought about filling the space with fiberglass insulation but don't know how it would react when wet. Anyone have other ideas?

Thanks...I didn't want to take anything apart to look. I was pretty sure of your findings by how much quicker ice melted in that one.

On a hot day, I’ll throw in another 2 bags late in the afternoon. As long as I don’t drain the water, I’ll have a little ice left over, and the drinks are still cold the next morning. On day 2, I’ll throw another 5 bags in the chests in the morning, and that will usually last us until the next morning. On my next outing, I’m going to throw a couple of Yeti Ice blocks in the bottom to see if they help. They certainly helped while I was at the beach last week; at the end of each day, I pulled the Yeti Ice with 2” of ice attached to it out of the bottom of my cooler.

Are you talking about the smaller cooler behind the helm or the bigger cooler at the co-captain duel seat?

I fill them both.

On your boat, is there a noticeable difference between the two ice chests as to how fast the ice melts?

Yes, some say it's a cooler. I think it's more like a wet well. I've seen sales videos from different dealers, some say it's insulated, others say it's not.
