I think I'm finally going to take the plunge and buy a fancy cooler…but now I'm stuck trying to decide between these two sizes…
I was fortunate enough to draw a pair of WY pronghorn tags for this fall, and I'm wondering if I'd be able to squeeze two quartered up speed goats/ice in an 85?? The internal dimensions aren't that different between the 85 and 65 (28.75" x 13" vs 24.25" x 11.75"), but there's a 7# weight difference.
Other uses would be icing down early season whitetails and I'll like use it as a casting platform in the boat. The 85 would be nicer for loading with salmon/walleye, but the 43# dry weight scares me a bit.
Unfortunately the local distributor doesn't have either in stock at the moment, so I'm stuck guessing with a tape. Any firsthand accounts of either cooler would be greatly appreciated (i.e. "a 65 holds a whitetail perfectly…").
Thanks!
