SSi Custom Plastics announces the introduction of all new 200qt. and 320qt. coolers. After manufacturing the marine industrys largest volume, top quality fish coolers for over twenty years, SSi has recently retooled both of their popular models to make what was already great, even better!

For years commercial fishermen and recreational anglers have raved over the fish boxs ability to hold ice for days on end. Both durable sizes are extremely light-weight, easily mobile and are extremely versatile. New improvements include a molded support inside the feet area for improved resistance to dragging and slamming in heavy sea conditions. Both sizes are built to last through years of every day use and will withstand long term exposure to the harsh marine environment without deterioration. SSi Custom Plastics incorporate the same level materials into their coolers that are used in the companys long list of proven marine products manufactured for leading OEM boat builders. Chances are that storage box, rod locker or drink holder on your boat right now is a product of SSi.

SSi coolers are practically bullet-proof, featuring stainless steel hinges, chrome plated brass lockable closures and heavy duty rope/starboard handles. Accessories include 3" cushions for comfortable seating and chocks for tie-down configurations. SSi does not recommend installing coolers on swim platforms or far-forward where excessive slamming can be extreme.

An Engle Ultra-Cool ice box could very well be the last cooler you ever buy. Extremely rugged and build for commercial applications, their plastic polyethylene skin is five times thicker than conventional, cheaper coolers. Ultra-Cool plastic ice boxes are UV resistant, meaning the suns harmful rays will not damage the plastic. The insulation is thicker and all hinges and latches are overbuilt for far superiority. Unlike off-the-shelf coolers which typically last one season before falling apart under normal use - Ultra-Cool ice boxes are over-built to provide decades of trouble free service. Better insulation translates into keeping ice frozen and fish fresher for far longer.

Ultra-Cools line of rota-molded plastic ice boxes are all built with skid plates - so the boxes last longer, even when slid or pushed over rough surfaces like non-skid decks and concrete. The side rails have integrated heavy lift handles for transporting the ice boxes when fully loaded. A number of the larger models feature rope handles. Insulation is injected under controlled pressurized conditions resulting in maximum insulation properties, permitting ice to remain frozen for up to nine days. The net result is youll need substantially less ice to do the same job.
Ultra-Cool ice boxes can also be used with dry ice - for even greater cold retention.

All 22 sizes feature 100% top grade polyethylene external skin with non staining, non-odor absorbing, easy to clean, impact resistant food grade internal liner, ultra heavy-duty self stopping lid hinges, duel drain plugs, double insulated lockable lids (most models) and unique custom lid latches made from flexible, black thermoplastic elastomer. All backed by a 3 year limited warranty.
