Best large cooler for the money?

[LuBowhunter]

Looking to buy a 250-300+ qt cooler for the back deck of our offshore boat. They all seem to run in the $650-$1000. Which brand would y'all recommend?

I saw a pelican in the back of a guys truck one day and it looked like a casket. Can remember how much it was, around 1k i believe when i looked it up but i think it would fit your needs.

Brute makes a great cooler, but not the size you are looking for. 150 is their biggest.

The new-ish, Coleman Esky cooler is pretty nice. I think it comes in a 205 as the biggest though.

Our 150 Quart is a massive cooler. I'm 6'2" 200 pounds and I can fit inside it. Check it out at https://www.bruteoutdoors.com/shop/brute-box-150-qt/

Just a word of caution... be sure to check the actual capacity rather than the model when shopping for a cooler that size. Yeti's 250 only holds 196 quarts and it's $900. You can almost buy two Brute 150's for that price and have an extra 100 quarts of capacity. Thanks bud

i personally would get the 150 brute. I have a 75 and it is an awesome cooler. Put ice or deer in that 150 and you better have 2 men or a fork lift to load it. I could not imagine trying to load the 250.

I will have to check out the brute for sure. As far as loading and unloading, I plan to leave it in the boat.

Anywhere I can put my eyes on one of your coolers before I buy? I'm in the Beaumont area. Your cooler may be all I need but I would like to look at it prior to purchase.

You bet. Check out http://www.bruteoutdoors.com/dealers/ and it will automatically populate your nearest dealer. Not all of our dealers house the 150 Quarts so you may call a few. Otherwise, you'll get a good sense of the quality by looking at a 75 or 100 Quart. Thanks bud and let me know if I can do anything to help.
