Have you had a chance to take it on the ice yet? If so, how did it hold up? Looks real nice...
If fishing was work I'd never be sick!

I've had them out several times this year. They work well, the black canvas absorbs the suns heat like crazy. I did have to put some carpet in the bottom to reduce noise when moving stuff around. What I really like is that they are heavy enough that a 15mph wind doesn't blow them around but light enough that my 10 year old daughter (90lbs) can take them from the truck to the ice with little trouble.
