That just helps reduce the difficulty of choosing the color pallet for the skiff. Just hope that you don’t need to replace the cooler and they discontinue that color.

I assume the back rest is custom-made?

My buddy has one for his bay boat, seems solid to me. West Marine started carrying Rtic now so you might be able to check one out if they have it local.

Thanks. I’m in Houston, so really just need to go to their retail store. Still wanted to tap into the brain trust regarding durability.

6'2/215lbs. I have had a RTIC 52 Ultralight on the front of my Spyder FX19 for 4 years, no problems. You can stand on it no problem. It will hold, but I have had the lid give but always rebounds. The lid is not as strong as thick/strong as a Yeti 65 but will work. tiedowns work great also. I got a rod holder for it from coolerworks.com to make it work better for me.

Thanks. Good to know about the lid. I can stand on my igloo, but it flexes enough I think it would eventually cause issues.

Where did you get the foam for the cooler?

I went to the RTIC store. Leaning now towards the 32 instead of the 52. Only 13 pounds, and I have the 72 Igloo already for a big cooler. It’s definitely not as stable with smaller footprint, so would need to secure it well.
