My cooler was shipped already, thankfully. No need to deal with that crazy shipping time mentioned earlier. Should arrive Feb. 1-3.

dang it, was hoping the deal was over so I wouldn't be tempted to buy the 65 to replace my pelican 65 lol

The pelican is nice but its one heavy mofo!!

I keep the 45 rtic in the car at all times since it fit nicely in the back. I have to see if the rtic 65 will fit in the back without folding the seat down on the 4runner, if it does...damn it I guess I have to pull the trigger lol

Keith and I got the 45 back in Oct after waiting months lol its nice that its in stock and shipping out

I ended up going with the 65.  I have an old beat up Rubbermaid 48 that is more often than not, a bit too small, and I end up stepping up to my 100, which is a bit too big.

I have a Yeti 35 that is either too small or too big.  Too small in that it doesn't have the capacity of a fuller sized cooler.  Too big in that it is very bulky for a small day cooler.

I got the 45 only because I think the 65 is 40 lbs empty. I may wish I got the 65 later, but only time will tell.

36.5 pounds for the 65.  25 pounds for the 45.

I ordered 2-45's and 1-65's on Friday just in time for crabfest. I think they are awesome at a great price. All 3 are tan and match my Yeti 20.

All 3 coolers with tax cost the same as one Yeti 65.

The two 45's was cheaper that the Yeti 20.

Me too.  Plus bigger cooler means bigger fish.   :smt003

Mine should be here tomorrow.

I got the 65, and it's a good size for ocean fishing. It arrived today, I had kind of a shock at how small it was inside compared to outside, heh.

I may still want a bigger Yeti, I had hoped RTIC would come out with more sizes but that doesn't seem likely.

RTIC is planning on making larger ones later this year.

Damnit Ariel, I was thinking about getting both as well.  I hope you didn't just talk me into it.   :smt004
