Drop-In YETI-style Iceboxes?

Before I spend time and money on a better refrigeration system, I want to attack the basics of a better-insulated icebox. My boat is a CSY 33 with a stock side-by-side double box. After borrowing my neighbor's YETI cooler and having the ice last for four days, I'm wondering if there is a simple drop-in box out there that has YETI-like insulation performance, or if I am stuck with building one myself. Anyone have a good experience with a drop-in box?

Re: Drop-In YETI-style Iceboxes?

I am in the same boat (Ha, I made a funny) The Yeti gets great reviews for their technology, and although a cooler could work well for my needs tweaking what I have would be a worthwhile investment. My current set up is a good sized top opening unit. Looking forward to the input of others.

The tundra 350 is huge and expensive. Is all about having a tight seal and enough insulation.
So spend $1,200 or enough insulation for your new box and lids. Right fit is a must or your box will leak all that coldness

A YETI cooler with a $800 Nova Kool Ice box conversion unit could be used as a refrigerator or a freezer combination. You would need room for the YETI and a small ventilated space up to 10 feet away for the small refrigeration compressor unit. See picture on front page of my web site.
