Okay ODB, I need a big ice chest that can hold a minimum of about 300lbs of shrimp. I'm going to start hauling my shrimp that I catch back home to sell and I don't feel like hauling a bunch of white ice chests around. I just need one that will stay in the back of my truck. And hopefully something that isn't super expensive. TIA.

Grizzly will serve you better and is much lighter and not nearly as expensive.

I'm thinking about getting the 400qt Grizzly. 500$ cheaper than the Yeti 420.

Where are you catching shrimp? We have been looking for an OB shrimp connection...

Venice. But I live in Picayune. So I'm passing through the New Orleans area every 2-3 days.

That's what I have seen the shrimp docks use and the sides/ top are pretty thick insulation.

36/40's right now.
But we can handpick them and make them whatever size you want.

I don't want to freeze the shrimp. Just keep them ice cold. Besides I get free ice at the shrimp dock so no worries there.

This. A Yeti of that size would require a 100 ton crane to move and the cost.....
