I've been wondering how the RTIC 52 Lightweight cooler would work. It's a little taller than the yeti, which might make it less ideal as a seat.

I just got one of these last week. It’s awesome. A little taller but even with a cushion it’s not too tall for a seat.

That cushion is legit. Is there a name for that diamond pattern?

If you tell your upholstery person you want diamond stitch they will get you squared away.

Happen to have a pic of it on your boat?

I do not, it’s currently at the metal fabricator getting a grab bar/backrest built for it. It’s maybe an inch or two above the gunnels of my boat. My wife is 5’9”, and had a 6’3” angler last week and both said it’s a good height. I’ll try to post pictures when I get it back.

Nice, looking forward to seeing it.

Anybody try the yeti roadie 24? I’d mainly use it as a seat for short trips up river. Volume wise it’s capacity is similar to the yeti 35. Also it’s a little taller with a narrower footprint to save on deck space

Yeti 45 works best and is most popular for backrest I build for a seat option. Not too tall wide or long.i use a k2 50 on my my skiff though. If you want one built pm me View attachment 168687 View attachment 168688

Can`t wait to see the finished product. My next project on my list is the replace my existing cushion and add one to my Yeti cooler. Then design a multi-use grab bar to place in front of my console that will incorporate the cooler.

Here's a crappy photo of my set up using the Yet 45

I'm running the 50 with a cushion from Rusty's upholstery and couldn't be happier. I have a casting platform but will move this up when my dad needs a seat or two people need a place to stand.

I'll also put it up there with the line lair from Carbon Marine on top.

The 45 and 60 are good sizes for seats. They are not very comfortable when sitting for a long time or running in any chop, even with a cushion. We used the Yeti tie down straps and seasucker suction cups which worked great.

I bought a camo Wise cushion for my Yeti 45 from Amazon for less than $65, comes in white as well. Thick, very comfortable for long runs and well made. Comes with snaps/mounting hardware. I’ve had it for four years, looks like new.

65 with a backrest I found on market place

I have a 35 I use as a seat and casting platform. Don’t forget to turn the latches around so they don’t catch the fly line. A little trick I saw in an old Jose Wejebe Spanish fly video. Starting at 11 mins.

I just ordered one for my canoe. Surprisingly, they weigh 7# less than the RTIC 20 I currently use.

I use a Tundra 35 with a cushion for the jump seat and take the cushion off and use it for a casting platform.
