Anyone own a Igloo Yukon?

If so, does it keep ice for a long time?

Mr.C, I just read your other post about having your yeti stolen in corpus... I too have been broken into several times around Aransas pass and port a but never Corpus. I guess it can happen anywhere,but very disappointing when it does. I recently bought an igloo sportsman and I love it plus it is half the price of the yeti and works just as well in my opinion.

Has anyone ever engraved/carved/melted their name and phone number into the cooler, in such a way that doesn't damage the integrity of the cooler but would devalue it in a way that its tougher to sell at a pawn shop? Is this even possible?

EDIT
sorry, meant to post on the other yeti thread. Didn't mean to hijack- carry on.

Found a used Igloo Yukon and purchased it. Now, I'll need to go win some dart tournaments to pay for it. Razz

I'm going to put about 100 lbs. of thick chain on the sucker along with several extreme locks.

I wouldn't chain that thing to your boat. all that's going to happen is next time a POS comes along, they're still going to steal the cooler, and now they're going to do $2,000 worth of damage to your boat to get it out.

best way is to just shoot them in the face when you catch them and be done with it.

IGLOO......because there won't be a river of tears when it gets stolen. As for marking, just use a vibrating engraver.

I would use a wood burning tool and melt my name deep into the plastic. For the money, Yeti should microchip each one for free.

Personally, I have been very disappointed with Igloo products, of the last 12 years or so. They used to be the standard of the industry but they have really slacked off.
I do have a Yeti and have been very satisfied. More than ice retention, I prefer it for the durability, not worried about standing on it even if you're a big guy.
For most needs I feel that just a standard cooler will do. If you are opening the cooler all the time the ice retention of the premium coolers is still not very good. So for a day trip I do not feel that it is worth the money. Besides that you don't have to worry much about the POS stealing your cheaper cooler.
