I have the same coleman in 70 qt, I weight 180 and can stand on the top without it sinking in any just fine. I also have a similar igloo, not exactly the same but a 165 qt with wheels with a similar looking lid design and can sit/stand on that one as well.

From what I've seen, in tests done on the interwebs the coleman xtreme is your best bet for ice retention. I also dig that the coleman doesn't have latches on the front to break off. I've only had my 70qt marine one for a few months but I really like it. Handles are solid, stainless hinges are solid, lid is solid. Meanwhile my igloos have been through 2 sets of hinges and latches each and need replacing again (I need to just pony up the money for stainless hinges and latches this time I suppose)

In short, you can't go wrong with either one. Pick the one that will fit better in your boat (consider deck height and width of space you plan to put it)

ETA disregard my comments on igloo's latches and hinges, that one appears to be all stainless, it's good to go

ETAA also, the coleman has 4 cupholders in the lid (at least mine does), which may also be a plus if your boat doesn't have any/doesn't have many.
