Frostbite 100 Litre Ice Boxes Opinions
Submitted by trueblue_10 on Sun, 2013-10-27 10:09
Thinking of getting one of these 100Litre Frostbite mackerel boxes sold by BCF on special for $229 as my main fishing esky. As it is long slender it will fit out of the way perfectly in directly in front the driver and passenger seat in my 6.1 m quintrex with a cuddy cabin.
The dimensions are External = 1350(L) x 380(W) x 430(H). (Internal Dimension = 1140 x 280 x 320) Capacity 100L.
Does anyone have any experience with this brand and size ice box. Are they the way to go as a general fish box as I will be using it for fishing in perth, down south and towards exmouth??

Good
I've got a small one only use it for food and drinks but it seems like a pretty good ice box to me.. Keeps ice as good as any other blow moulded box I've used..

100l Cooler
trueblue_10,
I have not had a Frostbite cooler but do have an Extreme Cooler and it has been exceptional, needing ice only after three or four days, depending on how often it was opened, look at the site sponsors product, price is similar, the quality of the Extreme Cooler is very high.

vouchers
Extreme Coolers do look good but have over $500 to spend in BCF vouchers that I got as gifts. So it makes sense to go with BCF options so I can use my vouchers.

Hi Trueblue
I use the 100litre Mackerel box a lot up north out of Gnaraloo and it is quite surprising how much you can fit in it. The box you have purchased is the same as our 100litre mack box. They actually vome out of the same factory. BCF will stock the orange colour and have a fish ruler on theirs as well.
In my opinion, the mackerel box is one of the most versitile and easy to store on the boat. I will email you tomorrow in response to your email regarding the cushion option. If you search for my Gnaraloo reports you will be able to see some esky shots.
Regards
Dave
