I like your method too. Looks cleaner than spray foam, but perhaps more R value with foam?Quote:

It’s basically like you buying the limo, filling it with fuel and stocking the booze, while 10 of your buddies and their girls party in the back and tell you where to drive.

now once the boat is cleaned and put away, nothing like sitting on the driveway with a cold one.. or six....
In Michigan the boat driver can have drink in hand but has to be under .08%.
Yes I have a breathalyzer and yes I know how to stay under the limit lol

Yep same here, they are pretty cool about it unless you're being an ass.
We get pulled over/boarded every other outing or so. (small lake, bored TWRA lol)
I just tell everyone in the boat to sit down and shut up and I'm respectful and honest and it always goes just fine.
Only time we've had issues is when passengers who have been drinking try to "help" or be funny.
At this point they know me and usually just wave unless someone is sitting on the sundeck when underway. It never fails that they pull me for that and I tell them I'm sorry and I'll see them next time because I'm not going to force people to not be on the sundeck when I'm going 6 miles per hour, they are grownups they can sit where they please.
The 3 lakes I frequent have ZERO police presence on the water.
My biggest issue is on several occasions at one of my lakes the county sheriff have pulled next to me in the parking lot because they want to see my boat and talk about it.
My wife and kid both know that if the popo ever asked, they know to jump in the truck like they are driving, my wife rarely drinks and my kid is 18.

Drink in hand is pretty nice! All I know for NC and TN is can't blow over .08% however never heard of them even questioning it at all, mostly just check for life jackets and safety equipment.
But I also go to pretty small lakes so I'm sure this summer ill be making 2 new friends
I wonder about the legality of the rear facing seats on boats that are practically on the swim deck now?
Not legal when underway, same as the sundeck area.Quote:

1) they don’t want you to fall off
2) carbon monoxide risk.

I figured, luckily for me I can't afford a boat with such features haha
Now strapping a yeti to the swim platform might make a decent seat...
here in nevada- or more specifically on lake mead under federal enforcement- that's $310 misdemeanor fine to the DRIVER of the boat, not the passenger sitting on the sundeck if over 5mph. ask me how I know :)Quote:

I think it is here too but they never ticket me they just sternly tell me it's bad mkay? :D
I assume one of these days someone will be a dick and give me a ticket.
I would believe so. Either method will keep the ice for a weekend, but that also depends on how much you open the hatch.Quote:

If you could find a slim fitting battery case (or run them naked), they would fit up against the pumps and provide room for the supra cooler. or move the ballast pumps, or move the batteries somewhere else.
There is a thread somewhere. You relocate the batteries under the port dash by the amp rack. Then a cooler sits there, I believe a certain size yeti even fits.Quote:

Love the AO coolers, I never use the hard cooler

I have a 36 can AO cooler too. Fits great under the passenger side long seat. Just the right height.

How does the AO cooler do on holding ice? We bought a titan cooler from amazon cause my wife said it had a million 5 star reviews but im not real impressed with how well it holds ice. We keep our cooler in the spot behind the observer seat backrest.
We use a Yeti M30 soft cooler. Holds ice all day and ours sits behind the drivers seat nicely. I also have a 3 gallon bucket (think cat litter) that I cut a hole in the lid and use it as a trash can. My 2015 doesn't have hidden places for those so I have to improvise over putting empties in the cooler.
Our AO does pretty good. But it is under the seat out of the sun. It has decent insulation, but is no Yeti Softside.

AO will hold ice fine for a full day on the lake.

^^^This. Plenty of ice left in the AO when we unload in the evening.
Cooler ratings are actually absurd.
Unless you are living off the grid, who needs ice for 7 days?
Camping sure, but yeti is a bit overkill for any normal application and once you open them, the ratings drop fast.
Love the AO’s but still pricey, only reason I have them is they came with Supras. A hard igloo marine 56 can and a soft AO carbon 38 can, we use the AO95% of the time

I have a yeti 45 if I need it but it has to sit in the bow walkway, wife just wants something that can hold ice a bit longer. 2 bags worth yesterday seemed to melt pretty quick.
Did you have your boat out yesterday? I noticed a blue/white Moomba in the middle of the lake when I was driving by the Concord Ramp area.Quote:

The hard cooler doesn't work because crew size can start at 4 and end up 12 in a few text messages.
Yeah we went out for the morning for my birthday yesterday. We were waiting on the rest of my crew to get thereQuote:

Hey guys. New to forum. Would the Rtic 40 can soft pack cooler fit under the either rear right/left seats in a Moomba Makai? The dimensions of this cooler are 12" wide by 18 1/2" long and 17" tall.
I am thinking 17" might be too tall. I bought an AO 36 can cooler that is 36" long x 10" wide X 12" tall and it fits snug just under the seat.

I also have a 21 makai

I agree I think that might be a little tall. Look at the AO Stow-n-Go it is the same cooler Moomba sells (just with out the logo) that fits under the seat perfectly.Quote:

I'm still optimizing my space with all the stuff I seem to carry in the storage lockers.

Pretty slick, how cold does that cooler get? Don’t the electrics do about 35f below ambient?Quote:
