Has anyone had any experience with Big Chilli plastic eskies. I''m looking at buying one that will double as a centre seat and esky in my tinnie. Will they take the load of someone sitting on them in bouncy conditions.

The only problem I had with the earlier ones was the nylon rope hinge always got in the way when closing it and there was no locking mechanisms

I have one. I think its a 150L. Pretty happy so far. The quality of the finish is only average IMHO but for the money it is more than acceptable.

I am looking at getting the mackerel box he has for sale. Very hard to find a long narrow and not too tall an esky for a tinny.

I've got one of the little ones and I got it delivered for $24! I think it's like 30L or something... Fits quite a few beers and fillets in it anyway ;D

Fantastic little esky, but the little plastic hinge stays wear out a little bit. Just got to keep popping the lid back on when it's open sometimes. Small price to pay for a cheap as esky but! Definitely keep stuff cold.
