You could always mount one of those small boat seats on it for a little back support too.
I am considering using a medium size cooler as a bench seat for a eskimo quick flip. I figure this could double as storage and a seat. I will mount fishing rod holders on the side as well. Any one try this or see possible issues I may have?
I agree with the posters above, a sturdy cooler should work fine. But I would acquire one specifically for ice fishing and mount some type of seat. Something like a stadium seat or flipover shelter seathttps://www.amazon.com/Stadium-Seats-Cushions/b/ref=dp_bc_5?ie=UTF8&node=3395081https://www.amazon.com/Wise-8WD734PLS-664-Back-Boat-Charcoal/dp/B000AUA6YA/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1549561098&sr=1-3&keywords=boat%2Bseat&th=1or purchase the pre-built onehttps://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/frabill-one-man-boat-seat-on-trunk?a=1946371&pm2d=CSE-SPG-15-PLA&utm_medium=PLA&utm_source=Google&utm_campaign=CI&gclid=CjwKCAiAy-_iBRAaEiwAYhSlA4l2GeiOTbrbdqgzi4_DjkWVSQ-5n23rvhjG4gNaK40vv4uLh9Z16hoCVnkQAvD_BwE
Omg....this is it. That is exactly what im looking for. Thanks for sharing this.
You could keep your shiners in the cooler as a livewell also, just saying.
Or if you keep fish, the cooler keeps them from freezing. Little slush in the bottom and good to go.
Plus the vultures won’t see the fish on the ice and come swooping in to get in on your spot!Keep it safe! JDL
