Yeah, plenty of props to the Mike!!! Without him, my boat would still be without a cooler and still have the Roberts stripes on it.

Mike has a little area under one of his deck lids of his G-Cat that can hold a few beers. After looking at the hole in the top of my boat and the small foam storage Mike had, it had to be...

The cooler could probably hold two cases of beer and ice if you needed although usually only carry a 12 pack, water (that no one drinks), and the margaritas. The water is good for rinsing down blocks when they get salty and sandy though. Two holes in the bottom of the ice chest let the water drain into the main hull so when you pull the plugs, you also empty the water from the cooler.

The new winch, marine battery and solar charger built into my sail box make the end of the day a lot less of a chore. Also saves on the end of the day beer I used to carry to entice passers by to help.

After many years of refining, I think I finally have it down to a science.
