Cooler on the swim deck?

**lewisb13** · 08-09-2010, 12:37 PM

I am just wondering if anyone straps their cooler on to the swim deck. I am using a full size cooler, not sure of the size, but Im sure most of you know what Im talking about. I could put it in the ski locker, but for one it takes up ballast space, is too heavy for me and female friends to raise and lower in and out of there, and I also I dont want people opening and closing the swim locker 100 times a day go after adult beverages, and yes I mean LITERALLY 100 times a day.

The screws that attach the struts to the UHMW plastic board are already starting to wiggle. Need this boat to last..

The cooler weighs a good 100 lbs full of ice and such and when I go out, I just call every single girl I know and invite them all. Usually no dudes allowed and their 90lb frames cannot lift coolers. I also dont like them in and out in and out in and out of the boat so that also makes the swim deck much more attractive to store a cooler. Thanks for the comments in advance!!!

Ha yeah, they arent really 90lbs. I was going to try to isolate the cooler from the boat either using a towel or whatever and use a ratchet strap somehow on the metal loops that would normally keep the boat connected to the trailer in the back. Not sure what those are called.

We always keep the cooler in the boat until we get to a sand bar if that is all we plan on doing. Then it goes on and gets strapped down.

Nah, I will keep my posts strictly business from now on. I understand this forum is 90% 35+ married people. I will tailor my conduct to the audience.

Maybe if you put the cooler in the boat and invited some "bigger" girls you wouldn't have to worry to much with the ballast.

lewis, I feel for you man and a good host needs to keep everyone hydrated but I need to see pictures so I can give some advice.
