I'm like A7 we normally have a bunch of people on the boat at 1 time. This week pretty much 10 all the time. It didn't feel to crowded. And Prob 3 soft sided coolers or so. I will say that much weight the boat doesn't turn the same. You have to be careful.Big Block Power wrote: Fri Jul 16, 2021 8:46 am I say I've never used a cooler on a boat. We just pack one.

Re: R5 Onboard Cooler
Let’s say this. It’s a convenient place to put drinks and throw 5 - 8 bags of ice into it per day. Or, you can put your towels in there.Krob1114 wrote: Fri Jul 16, 2021 4:05 amYes, some say it's a cooler. I think it's more like a wet well. I've seen sales videos from different dealers, some say it's insulated, others say it's not.Luv2HuntAR wrote: Wed Jul 14, 2021 10:49 pmI fill them both.Krob1114 wrote: Wed Jul 14, 2021 4:37 am
Are you talking about the smaller cooler behind the helm or the bigger cooler at the co-captain duel seat?

Re: R5 Onboard Cooler
We boat in Arkansas where it gets hot outside. Last time I was in Wisconsin, it was in the 50's on July 4th weekend nights.Big Block Power wrote: Sat Jul 17, 2021 7:44 amReally 8 bags of ice you guys use?

Stupid question. There is a cooler under the passenger helm seat? The one that faces the door to the head? Never knew that in two years of owning our R5.

Re: R5 Onboard Cooler
Yes. It's got the double hinge, pull it foward ( toward head), then pivot rear up on front hinge. I think it's actually the main cooler.Sieben wrote: Tue Jul 20, 2021 2:33 pm Stupid question.

I think it was Albert Einstein who said the only stupid questions are the ones that aren't asked.
